The censor triangulates your signal and fires artilery shells at you: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/02/satphones-syria-and-su...

Now obviously satphones use very different protocols from these modern internet constellations but I wouldn’t bet my life on them being impossible to triangulate.

Don't bet anything at all. A drone with a phased array antenna pointing down will draw you a map directly to every transmitting base station that exists.

Make a double hop.

Give your antenna a cellular connection, route over a few hops, cover your tracks.
