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.
