VPN over an HTTP proxy then?

Or WireGuard TCP over UDP obfuscation?

I don't know if those work, and whether they continue to work against a state adversary. When you find a new workaround, there are ways to detect it

Reality is actually fairly hard to block because the VPN sends a hello to the camouflage website. It uses the connection to the camouflage website to pretend it's sending data from it, when it's actually sending data from the real destination.
