Standard VPNs keep connection logs. Obfuscated proxies (Shadowsocks) do not, but the device stores configuration profiles. Use "Disappearing Profiles" and disable "Share Location" to prevent metadata correlation. 7. Conclusion Unblocking Grindr is technically feasible using Shadowsocks with WebSocket+TLS obfuscation or XRay's Reality protocol . Simple VPNs are no longer sufficient against modern DPI firewalls. Users must accept that any circumvention method introduces latency and potential forensic risk. The most robust solution for the average user is a paid "obfuscated VPN" service (e.g., Mullvad VPN with "UDP-over-TCP" setting), while advanced users should deploy a personal VPS running V2Ray.
