VPN use is outlawed in Russia.
Russia has banned all Virtual Private Network (VPN) use on the Internet.
The new law banning the use of VPNs and proxy services, was signed by Russian president Putin in July, and it has now come into effect.
The anti-VPN law forces Russian Internet Service Providers to block websites that offer VPN services.
A large number of Russian Internet users access blocked content, by utilizing VPNs through servers outside the country.
This is a clear attack on Internet freedom, in the name of controlling the spreading of extremist materials.
Russia also requires international services companies to store their data on Russian servers.
Can you say, Internyet?
