The teen could have DNS leak on his VPN. His ISP could be the Judas Iscariot of the modern century.

The teen could have DNS leak on his VPN. His ISP could be the Judas Iscariot of the modern century.

And even if the VPN is end-to-end encrypted we don't know how many ends are there. And we also don't know the VPN log policy.

They didn’t mention how they caught the teenager, using a VPN. No solid security/privacy points to discuss.

Politically: government for the sake of the rulers/elites on one hand, and how much even “civil”/more equitable society wants to penalize people for retrieving banned (immoral, inethical, not civil) materials in the first place. There’s no end to this discussion.

Google SORM, every ISP is plugged into it. Most Russians use either VPS through SSH or shadowsocks in Nordic countries to tunnel traffic or blakchat VPNs or most likely residential proxies. It wouldn't surprise me if he used a VPN it was setup by the intelligence services or someone working with them. Then they can tap the fibercables so anything could have happened.
