As an Iranian in Iran who is now connected, I have a request: Please tell google make colab available behind the safe browsing IP. Google's safe browsing IP is usually the #1 whitelisted IP in internet blackouts. Having colab on this IP allows tech people to ssh into their servers, and bootstrap connections based on the available protocols at the time.
On the small chance that cloudflare is also whitelisted.., you might want to try a cloudflared tunnel..
Good luck! i hope you will soon be able to call your congressman

Doesn't using ssh from colab violate their ToS?
If this happened, they would blacklist it.
