[53993] Increase in VPN service advertising activity on Persian Telegram channels

The spread of VPN services on Persian Telegram channels

During the past 24 hours, a growing phenomenon has been reported on Persian Telegram channels, including political and military content alongside entertainment and sports channels, where network access services (VPN) are being intensively promoted.

According to the channels خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, خبرفوری‌نیوز | اخبار جنگ | حمله امریکا, and خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری, there is a direct appeal to users seeking a "reliable service" (around 26,881 cumulative views). The channels direct surfers to contact dedicated support bots, such as @vpn_express_sup_bot and @ASTRO_support2.

It is worth noting that the advertising channels, such as کانال موزیکفا آهنگ جدید ریمیکس رپ, کانال هواداران پرسپولیس ایران, and کانال فوتبال برتر ࡆ لیگ برتر 360, usually focus on non-political content but are joining this trend of providing services to bypass internet censorship. As of now, no information has been provided regarding the nature of the companies behind these services, and the advertisements appear as part of paid promotion within the ongoing information feed of those channels.
