Can I use eSIM (gl.inet) in countries with internet censorship?

Hello everyone.
Please tell me if I can use a router with eSIM eSIM Solution - GL.iNet in countries with internet censorship, for example: China, Turkmenistan, Iran, Cuba, Russia (screenshot below)

If possible, where can I read the instructions for setting up the router or a video.

The eSIM itself does not contain any contracts, it's just a physical card that can store eSIM profiles. You will need to buy a contract from a mobile provider then.

So I would say, maybe @bruce can confirm, that it should work in all countries, as long as they don't block specific IMEIs.

This can use in the country network if mean roaming, but not sure can access the limit content, depends on the local policy.

If mean to buy the local operator profile, that must follow the operator network and local gov policy.

Thank you for your answer.

I mean the situation when I bought (ordered) a physical SIM (gl.inet) from you, then inserted it, for example, into a router and could not use it.

Purchase of a profile not in a country where there is Internet censorship, but in a country where there is no censorship.

It would be interesting to receive feedback from users.

The profile won't make the censorship go away magically. The country you are in is the issue.

For example, the V2ray profile makes censorship disappear))

That's not an eSIM profile, it's just a VPN.

The Internet comes not from a VPN but from a provider, in our case it is eSIM!

Indeed and that's why the answer is: No, buying a eSIM from a non-censoring country won't help.

why? Can you justify your answer?

Because the provider changes as soon as you change the country. It's called roaming.
In a censoring country your traffic will be routed through the censorship infrastructure.

yes, that's exactly what I meant when I asked my first question) Okay, if I, for example, configure the settings via WI-FI (which bypasses censorship) in order to use 4G in roaming, including V2Ray VPN, could that work?

It will work as long as V2Ray VPN will work - but this depends on stuff we don't control.
V2Ray isn't officially supported, you will need to configure it manually.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I know I need to download and install manually, but this is the only way.

Yep, indeed.
