Why Do You Still Need to Use Internet Tools Even When You Are Abroad?
Although, unlike countries with strict Internet controls such as China, most countries allow relatively free access to most websites and apps, we must never forget that we still live under bourgeois dictatorship today. People’s online activities remain under the control of the bourgeoisie at all times. Although electoral-democratic countries may currently appear more “democratic,” allowing Internet users to freely discuss politics and even insult the bourgeoisie, this tolerance exists only on the premise that it helps ease contradictions and that the proletariat is currently unable to do much to challenge them. It is a form of concession. If they begin taking things seriously and decide to settle accounts with left-wing masses, the comrades’ currently open and transparent online activities could become the starting point for such repression.
Therefore, even when abroad, we still need tools for anonymous Internet access (that is, tools for bypassing Internet censorship). Their core principle is to use encryption and proxy-routing technologies to disguise or reroute network requests that would otherwise be blocked or interfered with by firewalls, while also obscuring the IP address used to access the Internet. This can encrypt our online activities and interfere with the surveillance methods used by bourgeois corporations and governments, thereby providing a certain degree of confidentiality.
Therefore, anyone who is willing to devote themselves to revolutionary work for a long period of time, regardless of where they are, should learn how to access the Internet safely and anonymously, both for their own sake and for the sake of the revolution.
We do not recommend using accelerators or VPNs downloaded directly from app stores (App Store, Google Play) for Internet access. These methods are relatively insecure, easily blocked, and many of them are government-operated phishing traps.
It should be understood that using the anonymous Internet tools described below does not mean absolute safety. Risks still exist, and comrades who want to understand the future path of the revolution, or who may participate in it in the future, must be prepared to bear such risks. These Internet tools may allow the bourgeoisie to temporarily remain unaware of what we are doing online (for example, whether we are browsing Twitter or YouTube, and exactly what content we are viewing), but other risks remain, such as mixing openly used and anonymously used network nodes, failing to conceal one’s online environment, and the bourgeoisie carrying out forced searches of electronic devices. Ultimately, much depends on each comrade’s personal revolutionary determination and the care with which they carry out their work.
No tool can replace the role of the individual. Without these valuable qualities, even the most sophisticated anonymous tools can easily be compromised by the bourgeoisie.
As an old Chinese saying goes: “If you seek wealth and official position, look elsewhere; if you fear death, do not enter this gate.”
How to Access the Internet Anonymously (Simplest Version)
Please note: Do not use networks such as campus Wi-Fi or company networks that are easily monitored. This is highly risky. Use your own home Wi-Fi or mobile data instead. When registering accounts such as Telegram or email, do not use information associated with your real identity. Do not use phone numbers, social-media accounts, or other contact information used in your personal life for registration, linking, or receiving verification codes. Use anonymously registered email addresses and virtual numbers to register Telegram accounts.
1. Click the links below to install the v2ray Internet-circumvention software.
v2ray download link (GitHub):
https://github.com/2dust/v2rayN
Mobile version:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/z101jrjppams6ew/%20v2rayNG_1.10.20_arm64-v8a.apk/file
Desktop version:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/4t02u45fidy795h/%20v2rayN-windows-64-desktop.zip/file
v2ray user guide (PC): See the “v2rayN Airport Configuration Guide (PC)” section.
v2ray user guide (mobile): See the “v2rayNG Global Proxy Configuration Guide (Mobile)” section.
3. Find trial nodes and import them!
-
Use Google to search for “free v2ray” or “v2ray 免费节点”.
-
Select a relevant search result and open it. You will find many shared trial-node links.
The following website provides free shared nodes (more will be added later):
https://clashgithub.com/category/freenode
These types of websites generally update their nodes periodically.
-
Select an available service link and import it into v2ray (refer to the v2ray user guide above).
(1) Some trial nodes require you to register a website account first.
(2) Do not use one-click VPNs from China; they pose significant security risks, and many are phishing VPNs.
(3) Because they are free, many nodes perform poorly. Some patience is required; if one does not work after waiting for some time, replace it directly.
-
Open:
https://ippure.com/orhttps://iplark.com/to test it. If the displayed IP address differs from your actual address, anonymous Internet access has been successfully established.
Further Security and Usability Measures
1. Security Enhancement — Email
Register secure, privacy-oriented anonymous email services such as Gmail or Proton and use them as long-term, stable email accounts. For detailed instructions, see the “Safety Enhancement — Email” section.
2. Improving Network Experience — Switching Services
Option 1: Free Services
(1) Search the Telegram bot:
https://t.me/sousousobot
Search for the Chinese keywords “白嫖机场” (“free proxy services”) and “VPN免费分享” (“free VPN sharing”). Join several Telegram channels to obtain periodically updated free proxy nodes.
(2) Examples of search results (all are Chinese-language channels):
https://t.me/sdffnkl
https://t.me/wxdy666
Option 2: Self-Hosted or Paid Nodes
Some proxy services aimed at users in China may only support cryptocurrency, Alipay, or WeChat Pay. Apart from countries such as Central Asian states, Russia, Iran, and Turkey, places that do not have particularly strict firewalls can use WARP, self-hosted Cloudflare (CF) nodes, or ProtonVPN. These three options are completely free VPN solutions and are relatively privacy-friendly.
Many mainstream VPN services are also used by multinational companies domestically and internationally, so blending in with their ordinary traffic may provide additional concealment. Among the major VPN providers, some relatively reliable options include Mullvad VPN, Surfshark, and Windscribe.
Among them, Mullvad VPN generally performs well overall and has relatively high-quality nodes.
Official websites:
Mullvad VPN:
Windows desktop installation:

Android mobile installation:

Windscribe:
Windows desktop installation:
https://windscribe.com/download
Android mobile installation:

At present, the official websites of most VPN providers generally charge relatively high prices. However, some account-trading websites sell VPN accounts at lower prices. Therefore, the focus of this guide is on how to purchase them through websites.
