I've yet to see any local eSIMs for sale in Asia. Where were you?


Similar approach for Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines, Korea, Japan.

First, check if any of the big few domestic carriers have a temporary or contract free esim. In Japan, for example, NTT Docomo does.

When you get to Japan you are going to find an operator NTT Docomo physical store, the second most popular. The virtual SIM cards of this company have the following characteristics:

    - Data plans of 1 to 7 GB.
    - 4G LTE connection.
    - No minimum clause or contracts.
    - Exclusive virtual SIM cards for 5G devices.
Otherwise, Google "esim Japan" and use any of the gazillion variations of esimjapan, or use a trusted one you have an account with like GigSky, Truphone, or HolaFly.

Same approach anywhere, in my experience.


Hopefully the result of all this will be more mainstream adoption of tor, i2p, freenet and other censorship-resistant platforms.


Unlikely. It’ll probably just develop in to a regular occurrence to have bad think sites wiped out and deleted from the archives.


I don't see how this would make it more mainstream, it might boost adoption, but link them even more to what the mainstream sees as "bad guys".
