VPN for Russia : CafeDread | Torhoo darknet markets

Most major VPNs are getting blocked in Russia, but some are still working if you use obfuscation features or less common protocols. Try these:

• ProtonVPN (Stealth/Smart Protocol)
• Mullvad (uses obfs4 and WireGuard, no personal info needed)
• Windscribe (has Stealth protocol & good track record in Russia)
• IVPN (WireGuard & obfs4 bridges, solid privacy policy)
• Outline VPN (good for DIY setups, less likely to get blocked)
• Self-hosted (set up your own on a VPS outside RU, use WireGuard or OpenVPN with obfs4 or stunnel)

ProtonVPN actually still has a server in Russia, that’s the VPN I used before switching to Mullvad. Also, ProtonVPN’s Stealth protocol is less likely to get blocked since it’s obfuscated and designed specifically to bypass deep packet inspection.

If one gets blocked, try switching protocols or using obfs4 bridges. Good luck and stay safe.

Self host!

There are not a lot of options to use. Firstly, all of the major protocols that are used worldwide are blocked, so you can use only niche protocols that are more like a proxy protocol than a VPN protocol. Also, IP-addresses of many services are also blocked, so the only ways to have a VPN is to self-host it or find a niche service, but most of them are awful. I would recommend to you rent a VPS and use AmneziaVPN (WireGuard fork) or vless-reality, via the 3x-ui panel. It's not as hard as it sounds to be. I'm right now using a selfhosted AmneziaVPN on a VPS. It costs me like 600 rubles a month. I know, there are services that are much cheaper (some of them are under 100 rubles), but I have benefits from the referral system of my VPS provider, so I don't care :)

Why did you post this on dread? Better ask people on 2ch.hk/s or ntc.party and talk to Russians (clearnet!)

Mullvad with ShadowSocks obfuscation.

VPN working in Russia or VPN for Russian location. Why not use alternate? What do you need it for?

Cyberghost is usually the preferred option.

Does anyone know a VPN that’s working in Russia?

Yes but it depends entirely on what you're doing.

If you're just trying to access blocked websites or bypass Russian state censorship, some VPNs still work but most are heavily throttled or blocked.

If your use case involves fraud, darknet markets. your threat model is LE. In that case, basic VPNs won’t cut it.

• • Mullvad VPN is your best bet accepts Monero, no email required, supports obfs4 bridges for censorship resistance. Minimal metadata trail.
• • Tunnel through Tor bridges or Shadowsocks helps evade deep packet inspection and masks VPN use in high surveillance zones.
• • Rotate exit IPs and devices static behavior, repeated logins, or sticking to one location makes you trackable. Randomize and reset everything often.

What law enforcement looks for:

– VPN logs or provider cooperation under legal pressure
– IP time correlation (entry and exit)
– Timing analysis and session metadata leaks
– Traffic fingerprinting
– Behavioral linkage (mouse movement, time, language, commands)

Bottom line:
If your activity isn’t related to fraud. most basic VPNs will do fine for bypassing censorship or accessing content.
