I live in an Arab country with strict censorship on political, news websites and VOIP
I am a political science gratudate and its annoying not to be able to access any articles related to Israel or just cause someone doesnt like it. Also, Skype and and VOIP applications dont work.
Apprently the recent crackdown on VPNs have rendered all major VPNs pretty useless and unstable. People say they have blocked the actual VPN protocols…
What are my options here?
Tor with bridges. But I’m not sure is it illegal in your country.
It will be slow, but i’d try Tor with a pluggable transport enabled like obfs4 or meek.
This makes the Tor connection much harder to automatically detect.
If a particular pluggable transport works with Tor, you can find a VPN service that is using similar tech and it will allow you a much faster bypass.

Do be careful though! Depending on which country you can get knocks on doors or worse if they see you connecting to known VPN/proxy IP addresses!
OpenVPN over 443. They cannot block port 443 (I mean they can but that will impact all websites so they won’t). I would recommend you set up your own server via DigitalOcean or another VPS.
Check with people from China and see what they are using.
Setup a Shadowsocks server on a paid service like Digital Ocean. You can grab the Shadowsocks-client apk from apkmirror.com, or download shadowsocks from the PlayStore. Here are the instructions for setting up the server and the client.
Have you tried using a http proxy?
Get a proxy of the country of your choice and configure it on your computer.
try express VPN they have an hidden onion link hosted by them just to access their website
From there you can try their VPN
Your own VPN server on clouc/VPS (OpenvPN/Wireuard/ Algo or Shadowsocks ).
You can also use Stunnel to make your traffic look like SSL and go trough 443 port on server. And there is XOR patch to counter DPI by state/ISP
All* these tools are combined in Streisand.
Good luck. 
I lived in Saudi Arabia for a few years and to get around the blocks I used IVPN. It worked last time I was there. Anyway I wish you the best of luck finding a working VPN, cause fuck internet censorship.
Try SmartDNS instead of VPN.
SSH Tunneling + OpenVPN
I think you should try and purchase an RDP. I will be impossible for them to block it.
use dnscrypt. Or make your own vpn with wireguard through a vps.
You can try my VPN server at www.homebrewvpn.com which supports SSTP. It will pass right through any blocks. Try it and let me know if you need any help. It is a demo service with no limits on usage.
try different vpn providers and other vpn protocols. SSTP vpn is very difficult to block - it looks like usual https connection. Use free trial before ordering a vpn and check if the service works for you.
if you want to build your own vpn with VPS, that means you can access SSH port?
So what was your solution? Have you managed to bypass ISP block?
I have same problem. I tried to get personal VPN on VPS, with via tcp port 443 but it got block after few minutes of use.
I live also in Arab country btw
I was a bit late on this but you can use the GitHub project “GoodbyeDPI” and “DNSCrypt”. Most tutorials on it is Russian or Turkish so i will nees to link a Turkish tutorial ( if you attempt don’t play with the system DNS settings, they are mostly set up beforehand and if you want i can deal with the whole process using remote desktop) https://youtu.be/YCEf6LaHzzs
1- ShadowsocksR / Shadowsocks-libev (I prefer this one) on port 443 with obfs plugin, set your obfs-host as something that’s not blocked by your goverment like www.google.com.
2- Wireguard, wireguard use UDP only, if it’s slow or unstable then try to combine it with udp2raw, kcptun & shadowsocks. Currently almost no english tutorial on this advanced setup (wg + udp2raw + kcptun + ss) as wireguard still new.
