Safer Internet League president Ekaterina Mizulina said it is impossible to completely block VPN services. The full answer to the question about possible blocks is published here: telegram channel Mizulina.
“Proxies, anonymizers, VPN services; These cannot be completely prevented. Each of us can create our own proxy at home and no one will see it. “There is nothing particularly difficult for a knowledgeable person,” said the head of the “Safe Internet League”.
He also noted that it is technically and physically impossible to completely limit the operation of major VPN services in Russia, so now we are talking only about blocking large resources.
Before that Mizulina statedHe said VPN services may be blocked in Russia starting March 1, 2024.
Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications Alexander Khinshtein statedIt was stated that the ban on the proliferation of VPN services in Russia aims to protect the personal data of Russians, but there is no talk yet of a complete ban on the use of such services.
Also at Roskomnadzor on February 5 reportedThat from March 1, a ban on the dissemination of services aimed at bypassing blocking will come into force in the Russian Federation.
