[liberationtech] Tor, Ultrasurf, HSS, VPNs no longer working in Syria?

[Walid AL-SAQAF <alkasir admin>]

Hello all,

I've been in touch with a friend in Syria and he said that none of the
prominent anonymizing tools are working in Syria. Can you verify this
information? I was told all major VPN protocols are also not working,
including PPTP, L2TP, IPSec, SSL. SSH tunnels apparently get disconnected
every few minutes by apparent interventions that require the client to
reconnect every so often, making browsing a nightmare.

Any feedback?

Sincerely,

Walid
