So i noticed the server provider i was using block tor traffic, and aren't really accepting tor to be installed/running on the host... That said, i know i could use ssh to share files between my local machine and the remote server, but i would have preferred something that wouldn't need ssh.
My current isp also don't like tor so i only ever use it through vpn when i need to, so my question (as the post's title is) is there any working alternative to Tor/ssh for remote pairing with git-annex? I do have some accounts on some vpn provider, but i don't think/not sure how this could work.
You could use Yggdrasil and a Yggdrasil ipv6 address. It would allow you to ssh even if the ssh port is normally blocked. Think of Yggdrasil as dynamic reconfiguring vpn so all traffic goes through one port and encrypted.

You would still need ssh, rsync or an alternative to move the files but you will get past blocked ports
