So, for privacy and security reasons, I use a VPN. This is normally Mullvad (with DAITA and quantum resistance enabled), but I have ProtonVPN, Windscribe, and Orbot handy in case something doesn't work.

However, lately I've noticed my connections being blocked. This is across three different ISPs: Sky, Virgin, and Wifinity. I have tried all three VPNs and Orbot, and I have tried several protocols (WireGuard, OpenVPN, IKEv2, Stealth, and of course SOCKS5) to no avail.

The logical solution would be to use a bridge in Orbot, but the button seems to have been removed. Also, by using Orbot, I will not be protected by my DNS.

I am currently using iOS, but my other machines run Linux and I will be getting a GrapheneOS phone in the near future.

Can anyone help?

When you try to ping something on the internet do you know if the packets get dropped or rejected?

Normally dropped. Another kind user has provided a working solution, but please continue. The more solutions, the better!

@hellfire103 I bet it's the DAITA on your Mullvad, choose MultiHop instead with Wireguard, quantum resist. and obfuscation . Then use a Linux set from boot SOCKS5 as you desire. I hope it helps.
