Can people in Iran SSH out to other countries? If so the folks familiar with SSH could use something like sshchat or devzat [1] see demo info, not my project This does not persist chat, but that may be a net positive in a surveillance state. ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -b 2048 -N "" -C "devzat" -f ~/.ssh/.id_devzat ssh -i ~/.ssh/.id_devzat some-name@devzat.hackclub.com If DNS is blocked then edit ~/.ssh/config and append: Host devzat devzat.hackclub.com Hostname 150.136.142.44 Port 22 # Port 443 User some_name IdentityFile ~/.ssh/.id_devzat LogLevel VERBOSE [1] - https://github.com/quackduck/devzat https://github.com/quackduck/devzat

    Or point to point connections using simple "WokFi" setups. Maybe you live in Iran and just happen to REALLY like cooking Chinese food? And so do ALL your friends :-D

    Or content based addressing, so that there isn't any network traffic to censor in the first place.

I think it's not so much about them talking to each other, it's about shutting them off from the outside. > The last time the Islamic Repubic cut off the Internet in Iran, they brutally massacred 1500 people, just 3 years ago.
