Internet restrictions circumvention tool

Hi!

I can see that the Afghan govt is dangerously drifting towards an Iranian internet model, possibly with even more restrictions on the internal side too.

I am part of those who are working to give some form of internet connection to the Iranians, so I wanted to ask what the situation is on the ground.

I can see that the cost of local VPS is absurdly high, so a reverse tunnel is out of the possibilities for many. Are you getting ready for a DNS based model? HTTPS relay?

Basically, what did you learn from the situation in Iran?

Thanks

Meat prices and cost of living

This is a post mainly aimed at non-Iranians to give some context.

Yesterday I received a video from IRIB TV, showing the prices of meat at the market.

They showed the wholesale prices of chicken to be 340k tomans. That was a surprise to say the least.

I asked a friend to check the actual prices on Snapp, a popular shopping app. A kilo of chicken breast is 1.2million tomans, about $6.30, which would be a fantastic deal for anyone in the west. When you convert the average salary in Iran, about $60, you'll immediately understand how difficult it is to make ends meet.

Again, this is nothing new for those who actually live in Iran. but maybe it helps everyone living abroad to understand the real living conditions there.

I had some kids coming up with "say wallah" (say that you swear by god) when they don't believe something. It's somehow unexpected from the average Liam son of a flute band member but nothing bad.

They don't know and I'd never admit that I understand Arabic, but when a pupil said something I can't repeat about the mum of another boy and a donkey, I couldn't pretend that I didn't understand.

He apologised saying that he didn't know what it meant, which is somehow even worse because you're parroting something you don't understand.

And that's how I ended up writing one of the most f-ed up referrals.
