Personally, I chose to generate a domain list for V2Ray from the Russian government’s blocklist when I lived there [1].
I prefer to do that typically because it avoids the pain of the ever-growing whitelists and it allows me to keep the traffic encrypted in case someone does actually figure out that you’ve bypassed DPI. And if you use something like V2Ray or ShadowSocks, they’ll disguise the traffic much better than something like OpenVPN typically would, making it less obvious to anyone monitoring that you’re using a proxy in the first place.
There’s a load of references and pre-generated lists for different needs if anyone else is interested in doing something similar [2].
(Also, I hope this doesn’t come across as missing the point of the tool — I think it’s really useful and a good solution. I just figured I’d note some others too)
