Current Behavior
I have a friend living in Russia, he's not very tech (GitHub) savvy, so i'd have to be a mediator for him.
Since yesterday both Android and Linux Session can not connect to network, path is always red and rotating. And, unfortunately, looks like it's censorship ministry of Russia started blocking Session, just like recently they did with Signal (btw it's censorship circumvention toggle seems to work against it), because when running through VPN / Orbot on Android he says it can connect.
That is a big problem, since Session / lokinet network suppose to circumvent censorship and bring freedom against this kind of tyranny.
We need some sort of working circumvention mechanism ASAP, i suggest looking into something like Tor's webtunnel, as it seems to work perfectly so far inside China, Russia and Iran against Tor blockade.
