Anything that needed the open internet was basically unreachable.
And for mesh or decentralized alternatives, the key thing is prep. Those ideas only help if people have already set things up before the shutdown. In our case it was sudden, and we were not prepared for it. I personally could not even get a working proxy for Telegram, so anything more advanced than that was basically impossible.

Were you still able to use Iran hosted services or did everything just break down?
I know it’s theoretically possible to bring up a meshnet using software like FIPS or Yggdrasil and decentralized comms protocols should be able to work, in theory, maybe even L2 Bitcoin like Lightning or Cashu.
As I see it, without prepwork iOS devices become effective paperweights, but maybe you would be able to spread sovereign tech as apks.
I really think we all should be prepared for these kind of situations, regardless of where you live. Today is a rogue state, tomorrow is a natural disaster but the outcome is similar.
