I'm kinda burnt out and took a 2 month vacation, and decided to fulfill my dream of visiting Persepolis. The last time I traveled abroad is decade ago, so I assume a lot of things have changed. It was after 911 but the phone censorship was not a thing yet.
- I got a used iPhone SE as a burner phone and created a fake Twitter account, although it hasn't aged yet. What else should I do? (Apparently I'm not gonna put my HN account on my social media list)
- Looks like China's GFW is so sophisticated[0] that it seems evading it is almost impossible. Is Iran's as smart? Do they use deep packet inspection?
- Does Cloudflare Zero Trust work in Iran? Should I create a SOCKS proxy?
- How severe is the internet censorship in Iran in general?
- Not specific to Iran, but I'm a bit surprised that border cops in almost all countries have the authority to force me to unlock my phone. Dark times.
Any advice will be appreciated!
