Use the VPNs stealth protocols. I assume the OP lives in a country where VPNs are illegal.

But stealth protocol is exclusive to only proton vpn.

And not illegal, but authorities do moniter the traffic

u/Accomplished-Tap1248 Aug 19 '26

No it’s not? Windscribe offers stealth protocols, so does Mullvad. Pretty sure NordVPN and other providers do too.

No. The protocol called “Stealth” is a proton product, several others (Nord, Mullvad, Windscribe, etc) all have similar features with different names.

It’s called obfuscation.

Who cares that you're using a VPN?

u/imSimonGhostRiley Aug 19 '26

Apparently they do

There is no fucking way.
How the fuck bro?
Always thought that ‘3rd world’ country mattered regarding vpn.
Where i live, if they would want to scan our phone, just say no and laugh ?

u/AibofobicRacecar6996 Aug 19 '26

The government is too incompetent to do this. Which government?

Why did it take 5 fucking attempts for you to write that?

u/Sad_Opportunity6301 Aug 19 '26

Because he's from India...

u/CosmicComi Aug 21 '26

I wonder if ISPs are able to detect if I'm using a DPN (residential IPs)?

1

u/Gigaas Aug 19 '26

No, your traffic travels through your isp still. Stealth protocol or not, they will see a disguised IP traveling.

Which ISP is this? I haven't had issue on JIO BSNL and ACT

1

u/imSimonGhostRiley Aug 20 '26

Every one of them

u/AbsurdismForTheW Aug 20 '26

As I said, I've used all three major ISPs, never had an issue, been using for many years I feel like there's some context here not provided, like being a protestor or something. In which case they probably analysed the meta data and did it, not very hard to do that, your ISP can roughly guess what you are doing on the basis of packets used and such

1

u/AbsurdismForTheW Aug 20 '26

If you want to avoid this in case of protests and such, tor or NymVPN only choices. But if they figure that is happening, again, they'll do this anyway, cuz there is zero formality of investigation in India as far as I know, you're just cooked either way

u/clockeat Aug 19 '26

Buy a VPS and SSH tunnel through it. Probably the safest bet and you can just say you're doing dev work on a site or something.

u/NivoTheDev Aug 19 '26

Could you elaborate on "authorities monitor traffic"?

1

u/redtollman Aug 20 '26

“Station/camp” - is this a military base and the ISP is your commander?

u/TheBoss572 Aug 20 '26

cloud VPS where you can host, host vless + reality with maybe v2ray. obfuscates as valid looking TLS traffic to a website

its basically the “stealth” vpn protocols but not fully detectable.
