The Russian authorities were powerless before the VPN
For almost 4 months that Russia has a law on the regulation of VPN, proxy and anonymizers, government agencies have not figured out the procedure for coercive services to block sites. The law on the ban on bypassing blocking through the VPN entered into force in Russia on November 1, 2017. According to him, services that should block access to the sites prohibited in Russia are determined by the FSB and other structures that conduct operational-search activities.
