Depends on how it's implemented. I'm guessing it's more like China's firewall, which injects a TCP reset packet whenever you go to a blocked site, and a DNS switch won't help.

I’m also using Tutanota if there’s any questions about it. Only thing I miss is being able to use my own mail client of choice (think thunderbird/mail.app)

I doubt this is true. Russia has been restricting internet access for a while now; it appears to be trying to emulate China. I recall Edward Snowden once saying he used ProtonMail. Not sure what...

Crowdfunding is still a thing. Not that I think it's necessary in the immediate future. When news like these are the only things you hear, it may be easy to imagine that life in, say, Russia is...

Not that I think it's necessary in the immediate future. When news like these are the only things you hear, it may be easy to imagine that life in, say, Russia is horrible and repressive. It's not – at least to a non-vocal chump like myself. I can still buy food, water still runs, it's still warm in the winter. I can go to a restaurant and have a nice meal, I can get medical attention when I need it, I can walk outside mostly safe.
That doesn't make any of the shit this government pulls more tolerable, and it doesn't make me want to leave the country any less. It's just that things are... okay.
It was only a matter of time. The next step will probably be widespread banning of the popular VPN providers.
For what it's worth, I can still access the website and my account.
What would be my best choice when I can't?
TOR or a VPN, I’d say
Would switching DNS work? Like Google's 8.8.8.8 or Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1?

In portugal that would work, it depends on how it's implemented
