      It’s not about the website. Unless they have blocked access to the “connection” endpoint that Mullvad operates, you should still be able to connect to it.

      Use TOR bridges. I don’t know how good their firewall is; can they deal with Obsf4/Snowflake too? If they can, I’ll admit that they are taking this seriously.

      Use OpenVPN with Mullvad/IVPN if you can, OpenVPN can be disguised as HTTPS traffic. I wouldn’t rely on a free VPN because of the data mining, and it’s only a matter of time before Proton gets banned too
