Reliance Jio is blocking PIA (Private Internet Access) VPN

@mikrotik Airtel fiber offering is like night and day from region to region, and they seem to also have a higher cases of issue with latency internationally.

Wireguard seem to be having issue with Jio but it's not a full block of service.
Cloudflare warp - doesn't work
Wireguard to Oracle Mumbai - Doesn't work
Wireguard to Linode NY - Works
Wireguard to Singapore Linode - works

All of the above on Jio FTTH

well it's clear that they are expanding the ips database. protocol does not matter i imagine. otherwise it would break corporate vpns as well.

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

Possibly it's ip based blocking from public vpns.
Using a wireguard VPN connection to my server, does work on jio while warp obviously does not.
Also i have noticed if I'm using Cloudflare as possible proxy vpn to my server, it does work. (This uses the same method of connection like warp, but is on a different ip aka Argo)

Wireguard to Oracle Mumbai - Doesn't work

Could you look around a little and check if you can establish TCP connections on the same port (or at all)? Also what about UDP on port 443?

 

[Rajneesh Rana]

@wheatbread yes http, https, ssh on custom port etc work fine for same server.
Wireguard from BSNL,Airtel works fine.
Issue is only on Jio while connecting to Wireguard setup on same server.

http, https[/2], ssh on custom port

Right. Could you test for UDP (easiest way would be iperf3 -u)?

Jio Mobile Wire guard works on alternative port. Self hosted server on AWS.

 

[pillaicha]

But yes, they're bocking native ports and some ip ranges, even those leased from big clouds.
This is insane and has to stop. Moral policing ka digital version Hai ye. Without court orders, without any rhyme or reasons. Pure profit based, which is white washed as ethically correct.

I'm not sure what's profitable over doing this.. @pillaicha
