Is it possible to bypass this block? Say, embedding VPN packets within a different protocol?

[–] Shan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

For simple web browsing or streaming over https you can use a socks proxy.

For full VPN function you could try something like IPSec or L2TP, as they’re not listed in the protocols Russia is targeting.
