 I'm imagining a Capture The Flag (CTF) game where the #challenge is to bypass some network control (aka #censorship) that is used in the real world.

Maybe you'd #VPN into an environment where the gateway has some annoying restriction and your mission was to #circumvent them.

The point wouldn't be the specific #tactic used to bypass a particular #control, but rather to get people thinking about how to bypass controls in general. That way when some new one comes along, you'll be able to probe, adapt and overcome!

At the same time, the group running it could learn more about what controls there are out there, especially ones that aren't commonly used in their country.

 Do hosting companies like AWS/GCP still have a free tier? If so do they require a credit card?
