How to bypass Internet shutdown -

 Rumour has it that the Nigerian government has started planning how they'll shut down the internet since Nigerians voice out requesting the government to #EndSARS, #EndPoliceBrutality and #EndImpunity in the country.

The last paragraph talks more about who the SARS are IN Nigeria. 

Now let's go to our point of coming here. Below are ways you can bypass internet shutdown and you will still be able to access the internet even though the government try to make any move. (though no concrete evidence of that though) 

1. Use of VPN

VPN is one of the best options to circumvent internet lockdown. A VPN can let you access these services by establishing a connection with a VPN server in a different country.

To use VPN, Download a VPN application like Open VPN or ProtonVPN, Log on to http://vpngate.com, Download a profile, Open the VPN app then Install and connect with the profile to bypass an internet shutdown in your area.

2. Offline messaging options on Twitter and Facebook

The offline messaging option of both Twitter and Facebook can keep you connected when there is no network access. The application is free and information can be posted by sending text messages.

On Twitter, you can set up your SMS Tweet notifications using the appropriate language settings under ‘Settings’.

3. Off grid apps

During an internet blackout, off-grid apps are unaffected. They use a mesh network to let users text and share videos and images via Bluetooth.

These apps allow communication within a range of up to 100 – 200 meters and also works when 2 or more smartphones are within range of each other. These apps are ‘Firechat’, ‘The Serval Mesh’, ‘Vojer’, ‘Bridgefy’, ‘Signal Offline Messenger’, ‘Briar’, ‘Vojer’, ‘Two Way’ and ‘ZombieChat’.

4. Dark Web Browser

Dark web browsers are browsers with similar functions to regular browsers like Chrome and firefox. However, they have the ability to mask users’ IP addresses thereby allowing them to bypass internet bans.

Examples of Dark Web browsers include TOR and CyberGhost. To use the browser you simply need to download and install them.

So, there you have it 4 sure ways you can start connected in case of an internet shutdown.
