[50180] Wave of advertisements for Iranian VPN services on Telegram following network restrictions
Increase in the marketing of VPN services in Iran
Over the last 24 hours, extensive activity has been observed in Iranian Telegram channels that report on foreign and security news, such as خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری, کانال هواداران پرسپولیس ایران, and خبرفورینیوز | اخبار جنگ | حمله امریکا. The activity focuses on promoting and marketing "dedicated and powerful VPN" services that promise a stable connection without disconnections.
According to the posts in these channels, such as the announcement published on خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, these are servers based on a "fixed Starlink IP." The channels emphasize that sales are limited to ensure service quality and offer high-volume packages only.
Economically, the service is offered at significant prices for the average Iranian consumer. According to the same source, the cost of a 5GB package stands at 1,400,000 Tomans, while a 10GB package is sold for 2,700,000 Tomans.
It is evident that the channels, which are generally identified with controversial political and security content, are now integrating commercial advertisements for censorship circumvention services, which indicates the growing demand for these tools among internet users in Iran on May 4, 2026.
