My old way of checking the news in Belarus got me a visit from state security
I used to read independent sites like Nasha Niva and Belsat every morning, but after the 2020 protests, they were blocked. Now I only use a specific VPN server in Vilnius and check a Telegram channel run by journalists in exile. The change happened when a friend was fined 1,500 rubles for sharing a blocked article. Has anyone else found a safe way to get real news from there now?

Heard some folks use burner phones for that now.

But what about the phone's IMEI number? I mean, even if you buy a burner with cash, that unique ID gets logged when you first connect to a network. Couldn't that still link everything back to you eventually?
