Unfortunately a VPN is not a solution at the moment.
Because of interesting historical reasons, people using VPN or other "open proxies" cannot edit most Wikimedia projects, as default
- even if they are logged-in - even if they are autopatrolled - even if they are sysop (!) - ecc.
This is an interesting "feature" that will never change without RFC.
So no, unfortunately we are not ready to suggest a VPN since it does not immediately work, so you cannot immediately quit censorship or similar things, at least without additional on-wiki bureaucratic procedure.

Not something I would propose to an entire nation, at the moment.
I also have no other ideas...
