my friend is in Iran and close to an hour ago he was using a vpn to message me through telegram however this vpn is not stable enough to connect calls and to even continue working apparently because he is back to being offline and unable to message me. I think there are vpn services that work for some technical reason I am not educated about and I was hoping some of you could help. Do you happen to know how he even connected using a vpn? he was connected yesterday and we hung out for hours and got comfortable enough to schedule another game for today but things are going bad again.

Your friend is not likely in Iran. They blocked all sites as of January 8th and are only whitelisting state-approved sites. They have not whitelisted Telegram or any VPN sites. That small handful of people that are using smuggled Starlink terminals are not going to risk their lives to play D&D. Iran has tracked many of them down and "dealt" with them. Hopefully they did not ask you for money or better, hopefully this is a 4chan LARP. Have you met this person in real life? We can only hope that Iran's totalitarian regime is ousted and returns to its constitutional monarchy and former greatness.
