While a good stop-gap measure, VPNs can be expensive enough that it’s not really a
permanent solution. The ultimate solution is to get Commons unblocked, if that’s possible.
Of course, getting it unblocked might prove impossible.

Can you not just use a VPN?

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I am writing to you as a concerned volunteer from Pakistan regarding a critical issue
that has been persisting for several years now. Despite multiple attempts to communicate
this matter to members of the WMF's communication team, there has been a disappointing
lack of response or acknowledgment.
For the past several years, Commons has been blocked in Pakistan. While Wikipedia was
briefly blocked last year, the swift response from both Pakistani and international news
media led to its unblocking. However, the blockade of Commons, being a less prominent site
in comparison, has gone largely unnoticed.
Furthermore, several journalists I have spoken to have also expressed frustration over
their attempts to reach out to WMF staff regarding this issue, only to receive no
response.
I urge the WMF to prioritize this matter and take immediate action to address the ongoing
blockage of Commons in Pakistan.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
