[61288] A wave of advertisements for VPN services in the Iranian market
Various Telegram channels associated with current affairs and leisure report extensive sales campaigns for internet censorship circumvention services in Iran.
In the last 24 hours, the Telegram network has been flooded with dozens of marketing messages offering VPN (Virtual Private Network) services to users in Iran. An analysis of the sources reveals that channels with a political orientation, alongside sports and entertainment channels, are functioning as primary advertising platforms for anonymous service providers promising an "unlimited" connection and "maximum stability."
According to Esteghlal Fans Channel and Breaking News Instant US War News, the market is now offering rates ranging from 142,000 to 150,000 Tomans per gigabyte, utilizing automated bots (@premiumzone6bot, @plos_vpn_bot) to complete the transactions.
Additional sources such as dark netvpn | Free Config report higher premium prices, reaching up to 300,000 Tomans per gigabyte, and highlight "price competition" and "gigabytes of discounts" for existing and new customers. At the same time, channels such as Politics Cafe 🖤 offer the sharing of free "configurations" based on a combination of tools like "Psiphon and V2Ray," while warning that "disconnecting the connection may prevent reconnecting."
These messages, which are distributed across a variety of channels presenting themselves as foreign news or fan channels, display a high level of marketing aggression. According to Breaking News | Instant US War News, it is of great importance to use "reliable" services to avoid network slowness, against the backdrop of the growing need of citizens to bypass content restrictions imposed on browsing international websites.
