Roskomnadzor has stepped up its fight against VPNs.
Roskomnadzor (the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media) updated its threat countermeasures (TCM), which caused widespread VPN outages across the country. Three popular protocols were blocked: SOCKS5, VLESS, and L2TP.
What does this mean for users:
• Stable VPNs will perform worse.
• Protocols and servers will have to be updated more frequently.
• Bypassing blocking will become more expensive and difficult.
Furthermore, the agency has imposed restrictive measures against FaceTime.
