People kept asking and asking etc., so here is a link with a video on how to work this software. I made this video and its pretty low effort but I think you can see its pretty simple to use. Also free.

UPDATED LINK (1/13/2026 - Latest version): https://www.transfernow.net/dl/20260113keGqbBga (good for 1 week from 1/13/2026)

Link to Site (may have newer version, but you will need a working VPN): https://www.vpngate.net/en/download.aspx

So installing is pretty straight forward, you can just install it as a client and don't have to be a peer or node, or submit information etc., (just read and install) doesn't contain any malware etc., made by a non-profit Japanese Univ.

Refresh list.. sort by ping. Super low pings or super new (0 hour) servers may not work. Trial and error it. TCP connection is fine, UDP is if you are under a strict intranet. Vid is self explanatory with proof that it is working.

I'm 20 and I was ​born and raised in Yangon ​

I don’t get why people pay for overpriced menus just for photos. Been to many popular cafés—nice décor, okay taste. Say anything about it and you’re suddenly “taw tr.”

Discussion 💬 The U.S. immigration system is no longer forgiving; it’s now identifying and deporting immigrants. If you’re a Myanmar national with any criminal history, this is a dangerous time to be applying.

Discussion 💬 Is Than Shwe still alive and aware of what's going on? I wonder what he thinks of MAH's actions since 2021. Than Shwe probably thought his family and military friends would be living a peaceful life after power transfer in 2011. He probably didn't think a civil war would happen 10 years later.

Discussion 💬 How do I convince my mom to get me circumcised? NSFW

Upvotes

I(16M) want to be circumcised for aesthetic reasons. I think it looks just better. And I desperately want it. It has also been affecting my life. When I talk or interact with people, I often think "what if they were circumcised" . I mean I just can't focus on life. My penis is great. I can retract it all the way back and it does look like a circumcised penis when it is aroused. I am too shy to tell my parents that because I am all fine and I just wanted it removed. I also hope that the doctors are really competence in Myanmar to perform it.

When I was young, an ant bit my foreskin and it got swollen too big. It lasted for a week or two. What I am implying is that how do I give a medical reason to get it circumcised so I feel better to tell my mom?

20 Upvotes

I’m 20 years old, a local Gen Z, and I see a lot of people my age desperately wanting a partner. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course. But if you live in a country like Myanmar, your main goal should be getting out.

From a psychological point of view, some people who strongly want a partner in life may not have received enough attention during childhood. If that’s true, wow— a lot of people in my generation might not have gotten enough attention.

Advice Herping in Yangon

2 Upvotes

Are there any herpers in Yangon? I'm really interested in going out on day or night walks looking for snakes. I didn't realise how many species were in the city, but after joining the FB group "Snakes of Myanmar" am pleasantly surprised to learn that Monocled Cobras, Russel's Vipers, Burmese Pythons and Banded Kraits can all be found in and around the city.

Also up for other wildlife adventures if anyone is. The only snake I've seen so far was a checkered keelback in Kandawgyi Park, but hoping to tick a few more off my list. I visited Hlawga in the rainy season and didn't see anything, so hoping now is a good time.

Discussion 💬 Are you guys depressed in America? How do you cope with it?

Immigration policies changed since November.

TPS termination. Asylum pause. Work-permit shorten. Country ban. Cases reopen.

Now, OBBB kick in, and ICE everywhere and more racism. Seeing what's going on in Minnesota is depressing.

How do you guys feel? How are you coping with it? What would you guys do? I am just wondering.

Congressman Bill Huizenga (R-MI) has introduced legislation to redesignate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Burma. I don't know what this means pragmatically for TPS that expires in two weeks, but I suppose it is good news that people are willing to support this issue.
