> To go beyond the LAN, you point at a "pub server", which anyone can host anywhere.

You could also get messages into and out of Russia by physically moving a laptop or phone with a Scuttlebutt client.

Forgive my ignorance here but, supposing there was a mesh network spanning across the block, would Tor, cjdns, Hyperboria or Yggdrasil be low-level enough to get around a block like this?

Yes, any network link to an outside pub would eventually sync that pub to the rest of the network. This makes Secure Scuttlebutt a [delay tolerant network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay-tolerant_networking).
