Is it banned? Facing issues from yesterday, but server is fine
From what I understand, mobile operators in Russia currently ban Wireguard, but it usually works fine with terrestrial ISPs. To bypass this restriction on mobile networks, you can route the Wireguard handshake through a SOCKS5 proxy. The WireSock VPN client supports this feature. For additional information, please refer to How to Bypass Egypt’s WireGuard Ban – NT KERNEL.
I host my own VPN on Russian vps for friends to use. I don’t think they ban WireGuard protocol now, although it might be provider dependent.
They banned access to public VPN providers pretty much everywhere. So if you want to go outside you need to build the chain:
Client - private server in Russia - private server outside - public VPN provider - banned web site
A lot of providers have data speed capping for outside ips. Direct connection to US ip - 10Mbps, connection through the chain above - 150Mbps.
WireGuard is protocol with server and client implementations
Idk how law in Russia looks, but if they have banned anything it’s rather specific VPN like ProtonVPN, NordVPN etc.
Like anyone could still have need to use WireGuard to connect it to for e.g. server in Russia or local network from mobile network or something
Yes. Since last week facing issues. The clients can connect to the server, but the traffic is blocked.
there have been at least temporary attempts to block it and ovpn, so, even if it’s not rn, i’d still advise against relying on it in the long run. that said, while i don’t use it personally right now, from what i’ve heard from others, it doesn’t work consistently across different isps, so ig it actually is banned now
You saying that mostly residental customers have a 10M shaper, so you use a local jumphost? These vps have a150M shaper? Crazy…
Like banning WireGuard would be same to banning SMTP, because someome is sending anty-government emails…
WireGuard is a peer to peer encapsulation protocol, it’s not server/client like OpenVPN.
Egypt hardly bans wireguard… been there was not able to work. In the end i did transport wireguard through a tls tunnel…
Easy for you to say that isn’t it?
Are they getting the “latest handshake”?
So, it’s pretty trivial to block WireGuard, as a protocol. Because the handshake is easly recognizable and droppable, it has no masking features for that.
Some countries employ deep packet inspection filter just for that
Yes, doesn’t mean it’s not what Russian citizens need. Just showing my support for it.
I’m not sure. The serverr and the client show they are connected. On the server there is like 1-5 kb of traffic. I’ve been reading some articles that they are banning the connection after 5 packets detected as wireguard.
