Indonesia is currently in chaos. Earlier today, the government blocked access to Twitter & Discord knowing news spread mainly through those channels. Usually we can use Cloudflare's WARP to avoid it, but just today they blocked the access as well. What alternative should we use?

Mullvad doesn't really have any modern censorship circumvention options.

Genuine question is Shadowsocks outdated? Because it supports it

Yes, it's superseded by V* stuff and derivatives (VLess...), and probably by Trojan, but the latter is less popular.
