VPN with custom DNS didn't work. Firefox didn't work either. It was an OS level A.I. block or something.
GPS spoofing might work, but I can't be bothered trying right now
Also a little bit annoying to setup but, what about an ssh tunnel using a SOCKS proxy? Although, I don’t know if it’s possible to do it on iOS, I’ve done it on macOS to bypass my university’s blocked websites
How about a different web browser?
gemini:// and gopher:// browsers work I suppose… but they're not really typical web browsers haha. I tried a bunch but they are all blocked. Brave, Vivaldi, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, DDG. Nothing would let it through. Firefox said an interesting error message though.
On ios there are no "diferente browsers". They are safari in a trenchcoat, because apple doesn't allow other browser engines.
