The same law is abolished by the "register of bloggers" introduced in August 2014 and all the restrictions related to it are canceled.

On August 29, it became known that Roskomnadzor prepared an order on the procedure for the execution of the law on the ban on anonymizers and VPN . According to the document, services that will not block access to prohibited sites will be blocked within three days.

Their administrators must provide information about their owner, a network address for access to the system, login and passwords of access to the resource. More than 30 working days are allocated for the connection, which is initiated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the FSB.
