Hi There
I live in Iran , islamic republic blocks many sites ( more than %60 of Web and also Tor network ) some times it blocks also Debian Repositories Mirrors ( including Original Repository ) I get error :
Code: Select all
Ign:1 https://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb stable InRelease
Hit:2 https://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb stable Release

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I checked other mirrors too , They are also blocked or so so slow ( I have a usual network , Not so slow ) .... I want to keep My Debian , Up to Date .... All VPNs are either blocked or too slowed down ( I use VPNBook but they slow down VPN protocols ) Tor network is also blocked , What do You suggest ?
Can Tor-APT use Tor-Network Bridges ? I never tested it , However many of bridges are blocked too ........

In my part of the world Internet security and privacy issues are mostly nuisance. Where you live, Internet security is is very serious. You need expert help.
What I would do is use
Tails. The people behind Tails have long experience with issues like yours. Tails is based on Debian but shrouded with security. The first place to start is with Tails installed on a USB drive so that you can learn how to use it and learn what they did to make it work.
Another option is
FreedomBox. I have no experience with FreedomBox but some other users here have. Also, the FreedomBox crew take Internet security very seriously.
In both cases you would be using Debian but it will be tailored for security and privacy.

DNS over TLS is trivial to provision with systemd-resolved
[0] and it is only blocked in ~57% of Iranian providers
[1]. Worth a try?

Hello Sir , I live in Iran , Thanks for Your attention . But Debian is so so Stable .... Tail OS like Ubuntu uses Debian Testing's kernel and components and daemons as core and other packages from Debian Unstable ....

Hello Sir , Thank You so much .... This server works fine :
http://debian.asis.ai/debian/
Can You guide me to set My sources.list repositories for this sever ? I fear to ruin the system .... I just tried to
http://ftp.fr. etc and it's blocked too but I don't want to just chose "ir" how to set the server ? Thank You So Much

Hello Sir , I checked the link , But it only checks validation of DNS server and if it's not validate it will fail to use DNS .... And I'm sure Iran's Telecommunication ISP is not validate ( the ISP I use to connect the Internet )

Just replace deb.debian.org with debian.asis.ai in your /etc/apt/sources.list, something like this:
Code: Select all
# main
deb http://debian.asis.ai/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
#security
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
#bullseye-updates
deb http://debian.asis.ai/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
I'm not sure if security works, though.
