bypass a blocked site using VPN

with a vpn client

how would you bypass a blocked site? by not visiting, maybe?

but if you wanna enter a blocked site, just put vpn as proxy, i guess.. or use HOLA for firefox.. it may use some of your bandwidth though, so be careful. it;s a 'give-a-take' system..

you can actually setup PPTP on any android phone as its native on all devices..the caveat being is only uses basic/lower  encryption which makes it faster..however at a cost of encryption which negates the main reason...openvpn client works me on my samsung

might as well use a public proxy..same difference!!      

You don't need a VPN, just a non-censorship DNS-server. Google for OpenNIC and write those numbers below DNS in your network adapter.

opendns or 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 DNS does not circumvent censorship   (is used to translate domain names into numerical IP addresses which is normally done by your ISP using its dns servers. If you use a VPN in some cases windows will use your isp's DNS, this is whats known as dns leak (enabling your ISP to track your browsing)

OpenNIC is not OpenDNS and not Google (8.8.8.8. / 8.8.8.4) .

And to not have a DNS-leak, one should write those DNS-adresses in the network adapters. One should also flush the DNS-Cache, maybe even turn off the DNS-Client of Windows completely (solves many problems) and if using the OpenVPN protocoll, there's also a fix-script on the site you linked.

The only real possibility for DNS leak I know is, if the router is set as a DNS in the Network Adapter, then, if one doesn't have assigned special DNS-Servers in the router too, the ISP-DNS-Servers may get used.

[EDIT]

But you're partly right, to have a 100% non-censored Internet, one needs very special DNS-Servers, like those the Chaos Computer Club ( https://www.ccc.de/ ) linked some time ago. And to access even the Deep-web / Dark-web, TOR is needed too, because no other browser can open .onion links. It's some time ago, since I informed myself over OpenNIC, but they should still be without censorship. My VPN-provider has gone over to provide his own, extremely fast, completely non-censored DNS-Servers since some months, so there's no use for me anymore to use other DNS-Server like i. e. the ones of OpenNiC, Google, Cable & Wireless or whomever.

not heard of opennic project, however for a true browsing experience  with the majority of your privacy intact I  would only use a credible vpn provider with something like Tor as supplemental

Weren't there two threads about VPN's about 1 or 2 weeks ago? Have those been deleted?

this one seraiel, the one I can remember https://www.tribalmixes.com/forums.php?action=viewtopic&topicid=9281

search for

orbot

and

orfox

Remember what slash say " it may use some of your bandwidth though, so be careful."

That's just the tor network
