Your own exit is the only one they can't block wholesale
Public VPNs get discovered and blocked in bulk — a censor blocks the shared IP once and thousands lose access at once. A proxy on your own private VPS is a single unknown endpoint: it isn't on any blocklist until someone specifically finds it, and if an IP ever does get burned you redeploy on a fresh one in minutes. The catch has always been paying for that server from inside a censored, sanctioned country. That's the part we fix: rent with a token, pay in crypto, no name anywhere. Pick your protocol below — each page has honest characteristics, a matched VPS, and a copy-paste setup path.
Pick your protocol
The five that matter in 2026, from the undetectable REALITY handshake to the Telegram-specific MTProto proxy. Each page has realistic specs, per-jurisdiction pricing and a hardened setup guide.
VLESS + REALITY
China, Iran, Russia — 2026 gold standardThe undetectable one. Steals a real site's TLS handshake — a probe just sees HTTPS. Best against China's active probing.
Shadowsocks-2022
China (evergreen), low-power clientsThe battle-tested lightweight. Shadowsocks-2022 resists active probing and runs on almost nothing. China's evergreen workhorse.
Hysteria2
Iran (throttled mobile), high packet-loss networksFast where others crawl. QUIC/UDP with brutal congestion control beats deliberate throttling. Built for Iran's lossy mobile networks.
V2Ray / VMess
CDN-fronting fans, existing v2ray/VMess configsThe CDN-fronting classic. VMess + WebSocket + TLS behind Cloudflare hides your origin IP entirely. Mature and everywhere.
MTProto Proxy
Iran, Russia — Telegram access specificallyTelegram-specific and tiny. mtg with fake-TLS restores Telegram in one tap. The go-to for Iran and Russia.
Which protocol beats which block, side by side
There's no single best — it depends on your country's blocking method and your network. Use this to choose, then follow the matched setup guide.
Why host your proxy offshore, without KYC
Which protocol for which country?
In China, deep packet inspection plus active probing is the threat — the Great Firewall pokes suspicious endpoints to see if they're proxies. VLESS+REALITY is the 2026 answer: it borrows a real website's TLS handshake, so a probe just sees an ordinary HTTPS site. Shadowsocks-2022 is the lightweight veteran and still holds up, especially with a plugin.
In Iran, the bigger enemies are aggressive throttling and total Telegram/social blocks. Hysteria2's QUIC transport keeps working when the network is deliberately made lossy, and a Telegram MTProto proxy restores Telegram specifically. V2Ray behind a Cloudflare CDN hides your origin entirely — useful anywhere the censor is willing to block IPs but not the CDN. In Russia, most of these still work; Reality and Shadowsocks are the common picks.
Why a fresh IP is half the battle
Censors don't only fingerprint protocols — they blocklist known datacenter IP ranges wholesale. A brand-new server on a range that hasn't been used for proxies yet gets you past the crudest, most common block before the protocol even matters. That's why recycled 'anonymous VPN' IPs stop working: they're already famous.
Every AnonPort VPS ships a dedicated IPv4 that's yours alone. If it ever gets blocked, redeploy in a different jurisdiction from your dashboard and you're back — no ticket, no ID check, no new payment method. Pick a location by latency to you (Netherlands, Romania and Moldova are closest to the Middle East; see each protocol page for guidance) and keep a second jurisdiction in your back pocket.
