Seeking Help: Connecting Belarusian Users Amid Internet Blockages

As a moderator of the subreddit r/Belarus, I find myself reaching out to the community for assistance. Over the past two days, the Belarusian government has enforced a significant internet blockade aimed at quelling pro-democracy protests. This oppressive measure has left many citizens struggling to stay connected, as even accessing their emails has become increasingly difficult.

Interestingly, reports suggest that Reddit is one of the few platforms that remains accessible during this crisis, which presents an opportunity to assist those in need. However, many individuals in Belarus are facing hurdles when it comes to utilizing Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Although some VPN services are operational, users are encountering challenges with downloading the necessary installation files.

To support our fellow Belarusians during this challenging time, we are specifically looking for Russian-speaking volunteers. Your help would be invaluable in guiding users through the process of circumventing these government-imposed restrictions. Whether through sharing tips or assisting with technical setups, your expertise can make a real difference.

If you can lend your skills or know someone who can, please reach out. Together, we can help ensure that the voices advocating for democracy in Belarus are heard, despite the digital barriers they are currently facing. Thank you for your support.
