The heavy filtering in Iran and the unstable network conditions.

[Mahan]

Hello,

In these challenging times with filtering and instability of Iran's internet, where most protocols, or rather almost all of them, have stopped working, Freegate, although slow, still establishes a stable connection. The requests that Freegate sends to the DNS server are such that most of them get blocked due to the long domain names. I manually allowed this type of request on my server where I cached the DNS, but Iran's filtering is getting more severe day by day. Tuic and Shadowsocks 2022 work well at certain hours, although they are unstable. Interestingly, other protocols work for a few seconds and just for a Google request, but then they get blocked quickly. However, Freegate still manages to survive in these conditions.

I request that you increase the number of servers and nodes. Speed is not very important in these circumstances, stability is. Iran's filtering infrastructure only accepts external requests via HTTP, and most of the connections that are not whitelisted are marked as 'connection insecure.' But Freegate can establish a secure connection. However, CAPTCHAs on websites are annoying and solving them is difficult. Psiphon works recently, but like Freegate, it doesn't have a stable connection.
