Yes, I can confirm that AmneziaWG currently works amazingly well with AirVPN. I get speeds up to 150+ Mbps to the German servers even without the kernel module (sorry but I don't want to install anything from GitHub into the kernel). Unfortunately it's still a "DPI spoofing" solution in the vein of GoodbyeDPI, byedpi, SpoofDPI, etc., hence sooner or later they manage to detect those fake packet tricks and block it. My opinion is that only real obfuscation (methods used by Cloak, VRay, etc.) can be considered a long-term solution. For those who, like me, uses a Linux home server which acts like a VPN gateway, and start WireGuard/OpenVPN in a custom way, a couple of advices: download, compile and install both amneziavpn-go and amneziawg-tools. The first is the userspace daemon which creates the network interface, it will be run automatically once you run either: awg-quick <wg_interface_name> awg-quick <full_path_to_wg_config_file> That is the only command you should run.

Currently in Russia, I can confirm that OpenVPN UDP without any extra config (on any port) works on some US, NL and LV servers on mobile networks (MegaFon, MTS). On household connections, regular OpenVPN does not seem to work at all, but regular WireGuard sometimes does. When it doesn't work, the connection handshake usually succeeds, but no traffic passes. But what I wanted to share is that I've had near 100% success (on both household and mobile connections) using the AmneziaWG client with many (most?) AirVPN servers. This is a client that introduces modified handshake parameters intended to fool DPI, while remaining compatible with the vanilla WireGuard server implementation, and it's available for all platforms (you can always compile from source, but at the time of writing there are binaries available at least for Windows, iOS and Mac OS and Android. Linux kernel modules and binaries are also available on Github). Note: there is also an "AmneziaVPN" GUI client but I prefer to use the bare protocol implementation instead. These additional parameters are needed in the WireGuard config file generated by the Config Generator (check the Amnezia documentation for a detailed explanation), and have been verified to work: [Interface] Jc = 3 Jmin = 40 Jmax = 70 S1 = 0 S2 = 0 H1 = 1 H2 = 2 H3 = 3 H4 = 4

There’s a patcher for the YouTube app called Revanced. The project is open-source and I find it works quite well. It's pretty nice especially if you prefer the default YouTube UI. It's listed as ReVanced on GitHub. Newpipe is another good option, prioritizing privacy by not allowing account sign-ins. However, it does let you import YouTube subscriptions. I use Newpipe for downloading YouTube videos on my phone, and YT-DLP for downloading videos on my desktop. While not ideal from a privacy standpoint, I find YouTube’s algorithm does a decent job at recommending content. Because of this, I prefer using the patched YouTube app on my phone via Revanced. For Firefox or Chrome, uBlock Origin seems to effectively block ads for now. I'm aware of YouTube's recent attempts to combat ad blockers and hope they don’t implement server-side ad injection.
