Mine and Kaz's zenmate stopped yesterday, now using Hoxx, which so far is still working.


I am testing BROWSEC for a while now as an alternative and it works fine. Fast , easy , no user/pw login needed for the free version , UK among free countries.

Did something else happen in the news that they are trying to block or is this just general dictatorial blocking?

This is what I wrote to HOXX Customer Service yesterday :

"hoxx Client
Dec 26, 15:16 UTC

About 6 pm ( local time today ) , I was trying to create an account on my wife's notebook , but the reply was 'your ISP is blacklisted' .

I was logged in to HOXX on my desktop meanwhile and it was working fine ; when I returned to my PC , I saw the message 'HOXX' is blocked by your ISP' ."


This is their response :

"Dear User,

recently, Turkey has decided to block VPN provider. Therefore HOXX VPN is currently not available for users from Turkey. We are trying to solve this problem with the authorities and hope get back HOXX VPN soon.

Best regards
HOXX VPN Support"

The support guy simply confirmed what I said at the start of this topic, the government is actively attempting to block all VPNs in Turkey. 

They can't resolve it with "the authorities", all they can do is to play mouse v cat to keep their nodes functioning.

Maybe someone who's full time in the Fethiye area (Istanbul works differently) should do a sticky post with a list of working VPNs?

I am testing now following :

- First added Browsec VPN to Chrome and activated it.

- Then logged in to HOXX VPN 

It's working fine for now.
Browsec was not blocked yet since last Friday. So Hoxx connects via Browsec and is not being blocked.
