Rise in demand for network censorship circumvention solutions in Iran
In reports published on May 2, 2026, it appears that there is extensive activity on Telegram channels surrounding the sale of communication services and solutions for bypassing internet restrictions in Iran. Among the reported channels are اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, ATOM NET ¦ فیلتر شکن, and اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا حمله.
According to the information distributed in the اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری channel, "Tunnel Configs" are offered for sale at a price of 250,000 Tomans per gigabyte. The advertisers promise unlimited usage time for a single user and claim that the service allows for "high download speeds" without disconnections or slowdowns, while bypassing the Iranian "National Internet."
The marketed services are specifically aimed at needs such as "online gaming, stock trading, and video calls," and they claim to provide seamless access to all international applications blocked in the country. The reported channels adopt a distinct marketing line that encourages the circumvention of government regulation on the network, using automated bots to manage purchases and technical support.
The channels involved in publishing these contents are characterized by a line that combines news-security style headlines with the aggressive advertising of VPN services, which indicates a connection between the growing demand for information freedom and entities that generate economic profit from network restrictions in Iran.
