>"Why CDNs?

Services like Cloudflare, Akamai Technologies, Fastly, and Amazon CloudFront are not only widely accessible but also integral to the global internet infrastructure. In regions with restrictive networks, alternatives such as CDNetworks in Russia, ArvanCloud in Iran, or ChinaCache in China may serve as viable proxies. These CDNs support millions of websites across critical sectors, including government and healthcare, making them indispensable.

Blocking them risks significant collateral [commercial, commerce] damage, which inadvertently makes them reliable pathways for bypassing restrictions."

(There's also TCP/IP (Internet) via HAM radio (packet radio) and/or StarLink (or more broadly, satellite Internet)...)

Observation: If a large enough commercial corporation has an interest relating to commerce (in whatever area), then if that commerce conflicts with a government block (foreign or domestic) of whatever sort, then the large commercial interest, given enought time, will usually (*) win (they can usually hire better Lawyers, foreign or domestic...)

(*) But not always...

I get the idea and the spirit behind using ham radio to evade censorship, but...

- you're not allowed to run encrypted content over ham packet radio, at least by regulations, plain HTTP is fine but anything SSL is not... don't be a dick and ruin the fun for everyone else.

- ham radio comms is, outside of emergencies such as widespread blackouts or natural disasters, supposed to only be between ham radio operators themselves - no message-passing for others.

- at least in the long-range bands that you'd actually use for cross-country communications, bandwidth is scarce - and you may disturb a lot of people by doing that, or by just blasting around with huge transmitters... Monday late evening in Germany, try to listen in on 80m, there's so damn many Russians on there with extremely powerful transmitters.

Ham radio frequencies are scarce enough as it is and politicians, particularly in authoritarian countries, already aren't happy about it (in North Korea, for example, it's banned and it's one of the rarest countries to DX with). Please don't make life for hams more complex than it already is by abusing what it stands for.
