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?

I would use SSH dynamic TCP forwarding (-D). Then use "SOCKSv5" proxy configuration in your browsers and in your apps (if that's supported). You can hve remote SSH server listen on different ports and IPv6. Maybe speed and latency will not be the best, but it'd be OK. Simple and easy.
