When you think about countries that have the resources to "pay a thousand different isps in a thousand different ways with a thousand different os versions and tor versions" your first thought was Iran?

My first thought was actually "I could probably do that myself given some motivation"

Hiring people on something like fiverr could take care of most of the manual part.

My point is that if I could do it, a nation state cracking down on dissidents could likely do it too.

Like Israel, Germany, the UK, Brazil, etc.

Iran really is not the first country that should come to anyone's mind given how far it is from home.
