# v2route > Iran-focused VPN service using VLESS + Reality protocol to maintain > stable, fast access for users inside Iran where most other VPN > protocols (OpenVPN, WireGuard, IKEv2, Shadowsocks) are detected and > blocked by ISP-level deep packet inspection. v2route is a paid VPN business operated independently from inside Iran. It is not a free service, not a filter-shekan, not a political project. It sells subscriptions in Iranian Toman (via ZarinPal, card-to-card) and in cryptocurrency (USDT/Tether on TRC20). Free 24-hour trial is available via the Telegram bot. ## Why VLESS + Reality OpenVPN, WireGuard, IKEv2 and Shadowsocks were all designed for open networks. In Iran, ISP DPI (deep packet inspection) detects their handshake patterns within minutes and either blocks the port or throttles the speed. VLESS over Reality, by contrast, mimics a real HTTPS connection to a real public site — DPI cannot distinguish v2route traffic from regular web browsing. ## Key pages - [Home / packages](https://v2route.com/) - [Why VPN fails in Iran — DPI explainer](https://v2route.com/why-iran): canonical "why doesn't my VPN work in Iran" answer - [Protocols overview](https://v2route.com/protocols): VLESS, Reality, Hysteria2, Trojan, WireGuard, OpenVPN - [VPN clients per platform](https://v2route.com/clients): V2RayNG, V2Box, V2RayN, Streisand, Nekoray - [Glossary of 30 VPN terms](https://v2route.com/glossary) - [Install guides](https://v2route.com/tutorials): Android, iOS, Windows, Mac - [Security & privacy](https://v2route.com/security): encryption stack, no-log policy, payment privacy - [Frequently asked questions](https://v2route.com/faq) - [Reseller panel / become a VPN reseller for Iran](https://v2route.com/reseller): self-serve panel (web + Telegram bot + mini app), balance top-up, instant configs, tiered discounts up to 25% - [Service status](https://v2route.com/status) - [Changelog](https://v2route.com/changelog) ## Comparisons - [V2Ray/Reality vs free VPN](https://v2route.com/vs/free-vpn) - [V2Ray/Reality vs filter-shekan](https://v2route.com/vs/filtershekan) - [V2Ray/Reality vs WireGuard](https://v2route.com/vs/wireguard) - [V2Ray/Reality vs OpenVPN](https://v2route.com/vs/openvpn) ## Tools - [Data usage calculator](https://v2route.com/tools/data-calculator) ## Blog Editorial content covering Iran-specific VPN troubleshooting, ISP-level DPI behavior, payment options for users with sanctions-restricted cards, and setup guides for diaspora users sending VPN access to family members inside Iran. 200+ published articles in Persian + selected English translations.
