Small private trackers usually share some sphere of interests, like music, hd tv, sports, books, manga, etc, so the volume of content is comparatively small and other people on the platform are semi-interested in seeding uploads they don’t use themselves and inspecting if they are alright. We don’t have numbers for a general-use tracker just yet. And also - most instances would be very cautious of federating contents promoting direct links to any sort of piracy.

Packet Fragmentation
Packet fragmentation involves breaking down data packets into smaller fragments. DPI systems often struggle to reassemble these fragmented packets, leading to content inspection and filtering failure. GoodbyeDPI takes advantage of this weakness to bypass censorship.
TCP Window Size Reduction
GoodbyeDPI also uses TCP window size reduction. By reducing the TCP window size, GoodbyeDPI limits the data transmitted in a single packet. This forces DPI systems to handle multiple smaller packets, increasing the likelihood of evading detection.
DNS Spoofing
DNS spoofing is a method where GoodbyeDPI manipulates DNS responses to bypass censorship. By altering DNS responses, GoodbyeDPI can redirect traffic to its intended destination without DPI systems blocking it.
Depends. Many popular apps are banned and closely observed here and in Iran, so they’d at least try to block any kind of connection via them, whatever protocol they use, and I switched between several on these to no result. Less known solutions work, those gated behind a subscription too, and there you can still buy a server in EU to tunnel your web needs.
It also varies from carrier to carrier, so on one connection you can use something as simple as krlvm’s tunnel local app, on others you’d need a real and non-banned VPN.
For those who have time to try several links, check thia chat on TG: outlinevpnofficial They don’t work 100% of time, but having a lot of these public servers means some of them are yet to be blocked. Their app is dumb, but it’s availiable for W10, Linux (appimage) and Android I believe.

Would you describe it further? I don’t see how coming to a subscription-based model makes it not piracy. I feel like I miss something there.
I died a little inside by remembering that I was there when their lifetime CS licenses were sold and that licensing servers went offline at least a dozen of years ago… On the other hand, it raises a question if breaking CS versions is a piracy if they are abandoned. There’s no way to use them even if you are a paid customer wanting to install it on your new PC.
A paranoidal schizophrenic and a single dev of Temple OS thought thar he’s watched and messed with by federal agencies. He knew, because he could see a glowing aura around them undercover agents. After his ramblings about it, 4chan boards users who watched his streams as a lolcow (a person of interest who can be milked for lulz) took this slang term from him. Then it spread everywhere.

#That’s if you have it in the same folder. You can make that script more clever. It strips off DRM stuff like printing, copying, editing permissions that are respected by most programs. Probably kills your DRM too.
I too took my speeds for granted before I learnt many people I know have a cable connection worse than mobile. It’s 2023, in a big city. How does it make sense?
What I dislike about all these services is all of them have their own app\UI, many of them are awful and take time to figure out. There are plenty of refined software solutions for playing music and videos, they have plugins you can put your DRM overseer in, they exist for decades. Yet every one of them see their mission in reinventing the bycicle once again. I want my experience and my hotkeys to be consistent, to have the same quality whatever I consume. The only way to achieve that is to invest the same money into a big hard drive and then leech and seed.
OP, I did it: https://files.catbox.moe/6eofj6.pdf
I will edit my reply with linux specifics.
My link was updated with a slightly better PDF. Comparison on max zoom: https://files.catbox.moe/5q3v4b.png A person with a 4k display could make better, but that’s what my screen is capable of.
Either way, it was a fun puzzle for my entry knowledge of linux\python\macroses and I feel I’ll use this method a couple of times myself. Hope someone would make use of it.

On the top there’s a button to import - Select images you want to add - Save as.
Damn, you are right.
I’ve found this Q-A thread about alternatives for Linux: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/533392 I’d need to look into it.
Good god XnV and plugins aren’t.
Upd: AutoKey works. Scripts are on Python.
FOR LINUX, COMPLETE AND WORKING
- Install xdotool, AutoKey
- In Firefox get Save Screenshot: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/savescreenshot/ Then, in Firefox Shortcuts add Ctrl+1 as a hotkey to capture visible page.
- Create a script for Autokey in Python, mine is:
import time
import os
import subprocess
pages = dialog.input_dialog(title='', message='Number of pages:', default='5').data
time.sleep(1)
for k in range(1,int(pages)):
subprocess.run(["xdotool", "key", "ctrl+1"]) # Plugin's hotkey
time.sleep(2)
subprocess.run(["xdotool", "click", "1"]) # Mouseclick
time.sleep(2)
subprocess.run(["xdotool", "key", "ctrl+1"]) # to screenshot the last one
- In the bottom of a program, set a hotkey to launch it (I set it to Home).
- Open OP’s page and via Inspect Element find the link to embed. It’s https://www.sbcaplanroom.com/preview/2477/12610/200647
- Press F11, make the whole picture fit.
- Place mouse pointer over next page button, so it clicks each time.
- Lauch my Autokey script via Home button.
- Enter number of pages.
- See how it does it.
- Open screenshots directory in XnView, select them. Locate it’s BatchConvert tool, in Actions tab select a crop action and adjust it to pages’ margins. ACHTUNG The last one should be done differently, you can open it in XnV and crop this one alone.
- Use any tool to stitch them back together into a PDF. I’ve used PDF Arranger: https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger But some user down there said it crashed on 600-something pages document.
Most popular VPNs were getting blocked here at the same pace as in Iran, official websites to get them are banned too. Some editions claimed this move is about making Apple\Google restrict them on respective appstores by themselves because siloviki can’t deny getting these apps without fucking up the whole platform. And they don’t want to bring unnecessary discomfort to agreeable masses who use these markets to download apps daily.
Corporate and goverment networks won’t be affected, obviously. Troll farms too. Only a minority of those not invested enough to find other loopholes. I don’t see if it matters to those outside of Russia. For locals? Not a surprise, really, snd I don’t feel they’d block youtube and telegram, both are still availiable to get information if one wants it.
Timing of that act doesn’t say anything either. They want to sanitize the internet before presidential elections, and do it that way? It doesn’t make sense. It won’t affect those who already downloaded such apps, or those using other sources. Seems like a coincidence that this part of closing the iron dome happened to fall there, not the first, not the last. Or, equally possible, elderly officials don’t know how it works kek.
