Hello, South Korean user here - Please excuse my poor English
On Tuesday our government started new kind of censorship called “SNI Filtering”. (Bleeping Computer’s article, and post on r/privacy)
Unfortunately It seems like Proton’s #KR1-4 servers are also affected this, I can’t connect to some NSFW websites from that day, even using HTTPS (Pornhub, DMM.co.jp, etc.)
I’m using protonvpn-cli on Linux Mint 19.1 and official Android client. When I trying to connect blocked websites, my Firefox shows “Secure Connection Failed” error or just redirects to warning.or.kr, even connected to VPN.
But I’m fine for now because I can connect to servers outside of my country like Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc.
My questions are:
-
Is it safe to use Korean servers?
-
Is it possible to avoid this kind of censorship when using KR servers?
Thanks for reading my post
