About 4 years ago when I was leaving Iran, you could see physical establishments (i.e. shops) publicly advertising VPN access. While I'm not sure if you can sell VPN access as obviously as before, I'm quite sure that most internet user do use some sort of circumvention/proxying technology.

I, personally, was always very skeptical about the VPN services sold in the wild. Who knew what machine you were routing your data through was not controlled by the government themselves?
