[QUOTE="Jonny Quest, post: 1035306, member: 99434"] Just to add from a link in [USER=65229]@BryanB[/USER] article: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.techradar.com/news/vpn-services-reject-russian-government-requirements[/URL] Russia's telecommunications watchdog Roskomnadzor has asked the owners of 10 popular VPN services to join a state IT system that contains a registry of banned websites. By linking to the system though, VPN companies would prevent their users from being able to reach websites which have been blocked or use services, such as the encrypted messaging service [URL='https://www.techradar.com/news/as-telegram-ban-tightens-workaround-options-are-slim-for-russians']Telegram[/URL], which have been banned. According to Roskomnadzor, [B]it sent notifications to NordVPN, Hide My Ass!, Hola VPN, Openvpn, VyprVPN, ExpressVPN, TorGuard, IPVanish, Kaspersky Secure Connection and VPN Unlimited[/B], giving them a month to comply. If the VPN companies in question decide not to comply with the obligations stipulated by Russian law, Roskomnadzor said it may decide to restrict access to VPNs throughout the country. [/QUOTE]
