Got any suggestions for software?

I run openvpn normally and I've tried shadowsocks but neither have gotten through the vpn blocks I've tested against.

Tor. It's free, it works, and there's nobody to sell you out when the cops come knocking.

Wasn't Russia able to block traffic from Tor?

If they did, I haven't heard about it. China has been trying and failing to block tor for decades though, so I kinda doubt Russia managed to beat them to it overnight.
