Use Scramjet, an interception-based web proxy designed to bypass browser restrictions and censorship.
Scramjet
Scramjet uses interception as a web proxy to evade internet censorship and bypass arbitrary blocks.
About Scramjet
Scramjet is an experimental web proxy hosted as a GitHub repository. The project describes its purpose as evading internet censorship and bypassing arbitrary browser restrictions. It works by interception, rewriting, and sandboxing techniques.
According to the project, Scramjet can sandbox arbitrary web content, bypass CORS restrictions when loading websites, and instrument and debug websites inside the browser. The source describes it as a web proxy, not as a VPN. The README lists several popular websites it supports, but it describes that list as examples ("some" sites), so it does not establish which sites work. Running it locally requires installing several development tools and building the project.
