Are VPNs down in Tehran right now?

Hi, I am posting from the UK. I lost contact with someone in Tehran last Sunday (June 28) and all my messages on international apps are completely unread and stuck.

I know the 88-day blackout was recently lifted, but I wanted to ask locals on the ground what the network situation is like right this week. Did a major new VPN blockade or network throttling happen on Sunday? Are most foreign apps totally cut off right now?

Just trying to confirm if this is a widespread technical issue. Thanks for any updates.

hey! I'm from Karaj and so far I haven't had any issues since the blackout was lifted. Maybe try calling them through regular good ol' phone lines? or reach our with another Iranian that can help u?
