Is it possible to bypass this block? Say, embedding VPN packets within a different protocol?

I don’t know why some moron downvoted you, but the answer is maybe. For reference, I have always bypassed SSH firewall blocking by sneaking SSH packets within https.

The only way this won’t be possible is if the government enforces installing a certificate to use the internet, so that they can do a man-in-the-middle-attack. I heard this is already being done in Afghanistan.

So sad. More and more we are seeing a world were the powers that be can do anything they want but if you do it it’s (rightfully) malware and illegal.

The vast majority of popular apps and OSes are spyware by any reasonable definition of the term.

I remember, back in the late 1990s, if I have the time right, when RealPlayer phoned home to check for updates, and there was enormous uproar over the privacy implications.

Things sure have changed since then.

For simple web browsing or streaming over https you can use a socks proxy.

For full VPN function you could try something like IPSec or L2TP, as they’re not listed in the protocols Russia is targeting.

I’ve had success wrapping OpenVPN (TCP) in stunnel on networks that have done similar things.
