VPNs are now banned in Russia thru ISP-side detection (since yesterday, April 15th)
The Russians' only hope now lies in DPI bypassing like Green Tunnel
https://github.com/sadeghhayeri/greentunnel
Is it even technically possible for the regime to eventually find a way around, around this way around?

I like how these news are constantly repeated to show everyone how nefariously evil Russia is, and how we all should be happy we live in the West where we're FREE.
And immediately afterwards, the same governments that defend Freedom and Democracy start passing laws to do exactly the same shit because... uuuuuuuuh... think of the children!

wait why are you extrapolating a bullshit Labour UK proposition onto the entire "West" like... what?
here in "the West," ivan, we all know labour are commies and they SUCK. at least those who arent commies know this
btw
>banning the use of VPNs by under-18s.
still a dumb proposition, but there's quite a leap between that and, like, banning the entire concept of VPNs, for everyone
LMAO

Nothing of value lost. But what they're actually doing is fishing for VPN/VPS IPs when you accidentally (or in ignorance) connect to one of those sites (or mostly specifically apps) with it on. Then block it later.
There are also loophole ISPs who don't give a fuck and refuse to implement the most extreme of this bullshit, we'll see how long they'll last I guess.
I hate it here.

>and eventually the government will require your ISP to only allow you to connect to a whitelist of IP addresses
Russia has already been doing this on mobile networks in the western regions. Currently the only good solution is use a VPS hosted in a whitelisted prefix and tunnel through that from your phone. But even that'll eventually get closed up. Frankly, I don't see why Russia wouldn't just pull out of RIPE NCC and the global RIR system and start allocating prefixes themselves. Immediately solves the IPv4 exhaustion problem, and it'd instantly result in every single transit provider on the planet blacklisting routes into and out of Russia.

depends on the VPN (or proxy) protocol.
and once you have that part working, you can multi-hop by e.g. using a typical VPN provider in the second hop (this is trivial with linux ns and veth).
and what i actually came to say in this thread is that ironically, this is a case where "VIBE CODING" could help. citizens individually rolling their own encrypted UDP protocols, and changing them from time to time. or maybe i'm putting too much confidence on both LLMs and the average person.
the best "teh evil goberment" can do is block all UDP traffic (which would kill all HTTP3), which would make the user experience slightly shit. but you would still be able to bypass with TCP.
>>108613677
even if someone wanted to do this, it's not a workable solution, you can't not underblock or overblock. it's another irony in that all big cloud providers have personal offerings.

i don't have a raging hateboner for that country nor do i really think about or care for it one way or another. how is this any different to what china does? westerners circlejerk all day long about freedom but i'm yet to see a situation where this type of thing is a net negative for the citizens. those who know and are willing can always get on VPNs, china does not prosecute or punish even though it's technically illegal to not use certain "approved" VPNs only for companies. this type of thing is for mainly wrangling the simpleton masses.

it's the same reason they would care to keep internet connections to outside the country at all. if they wouldn't care about that, then it would be no longer the internet, just a national intranet.

Delusional and paranoid belief that there is some kind of forbidden knowledge in non-regulated non-approved news sources.
Not an opinion, a fact, as seen by the EU ban on Russia Today.

It's more "muh chilluns" as usual on the western internet. Most of it aimed at making kids dumber by robbing them of valuable life experience involving computers and the internet, things they will live with the rest of their lives.
In India (yeah yeah good morning saar I'm white as a sheet) they have kids as young as 5 forced to use computers in class even if they are too poor to afford a smart phone. Because they know that hiding the internet from these kids will make them incredibly stupid and prone to the scammers of their own country who will live and breathe the internet for the rest of their lives.
In our country we block the internet for anyone less than 18, demand they use slide rules and 20 year old encyclopedias for classroom knowledge, and be shocked we have a society of fucking dumbass retards who just want to scroll tiktok all day.
We seemingly always choose the worst path for the thing we want to do. If we want to protect children, we should have computer classes for kids young enough to even move a mouse while their brains are still a sponge and they can learn to navigate and be safe on the complex framework of rapists and scammers. Hiding them from that until they no longer give a shit just makes them targets.

China and the West are converging on the same model of authoritarian capitalism. Russia and China at least do it for the health of the species, along with the intention of protecting the regime from criticism. The UK and soon Canada are doing the same, just without protecting their people from harmful ideologies - the VPN bans are JUST to prevent ideological opposition and enforcing conformity with the Labour/Liberal party line.

You cannot resolve political issue with technical means. You are just one nerd against massive fascist(literal) regime.
They don't even care about collateral business damage, there are regular payment processing outages in russia now because of this monkey circus.
They fear the internet organized rebellion so hard they don't give a fuck about collaterals any more.
The only sensible choice is to fuck off anywhere out of this shithole because it's only going to get worse.

> since yesterday
You are illiterate Internet TV device watching idiot.
ISP level website blocks have existed for decades. They are supposed to be accountable and based on court orders. In addition to that, government DPI boxes, which are unaccountable, and do anything they want, were installed. Most popular VPN service subnets have been completely blocked by them long ago, in addition to popular hosters that allow you to get your own personal one.
And still, everyone keeps using banned services. Duckfaces promote beauty scams on Instagram, youtubers keep making videos on a website that officially does not work, and so on. Obviously, the higher classes do not even pretend that the laws are aimed at them, and there is a horde of paid political bloggers of all kind on Telegram still keeping their contracts with all kinds of government agencies and city councils.
It is funny how Russian media proclaim that everything is banned (and it's good), Western media proclaim that everything is banned (and it's bad), and you believe all of that, while typical Russian user knows that those are fucking gopniks whose words are worth nothing, and keeps tunnelling Steam via proxy countries.

What is actually happening is that Russian oligarchs are losing money, so everyone has to support them. Mail.ru group bought most big local services, and desperately needs people to use them, make money there, and pay the tax in both money and data. Along with local media companies and advertisers, hey made censorship agency their dog, and lobbied the bans for most competitors as quickly as American data collecting industry lobbied age verification and other identity checks. They even put trojan module into their new messenger (which is heavily promoted as official while it belongs to a private company) that checks if banned services are accessible.

Westoid nig/g/az just don't fucken know that in Turkmenistan unlimited internet access costs 2000$ USD PER MONTH on the black market to be able bypass whitelists. I'm not talking about 10-25G fiber. Just a regular access up to 1Gbit. Just bypassing DPI and whitelisting.

Since mid-2025, Russian ISPs have been systematically throttling traffic to Cloudflare rather than cleanly blocking it.
A common technique limits connections to about 16 KB of data, which breaks most modern websites that rely on Cloudflare.
Some of ISP just blocked kikeflare ASNs. checkmate stupid KIKE.

There are ways around it.
>only ever connects to 1 server
Implies all your traffic is over the VPN. You don't have to route all your traffic over the VPN, only some.
>the 1 server
It can change IP's and domains all day long. Also this type of targeting would cause a lot of false positives to occur.
>government
My question is how government employees would circumvent this
>>
>>
>>
>>108620447
How would they achieve this, doomer? The only way to do this is whitelisted IPs only, North Korea style. And even then it wouldn't work for a bunch of reasons. Not only is there satelite now, but people will hijack servers and use them as VPNs to piggyback from. You'd also have to ban literally every single cloud service provider that can host a VPS, which essentially means no contact with outside world whatsoever.
>>108620442
You're an idiot because they'll try this in your nation next
>>
I am from Russia.
I use 2 methods to bypass restrictions - a dpi circumvention tool and a couple VPNs. On my pc i mostly use the dpi tool unless i need to access some website that has blocked russian ips (like Chatgpt), then i turn on a vpn. On my phone i use a vpn 24/7.
The internet is basically unusable in Russia nowadays without a vpn unless you are some normie who only uses VK, OZON and Yandex services.
Youtube, Twitter, 4chan, telegram and basically all big western websites are unreachable without a vpn. Reddit works though, lol
>>
By the way, they're not gunning for random self hosted VPNs. I mean, they may put in some kind of protocol detection, but this can always be spoofed. Much like the West, Russia's implementation of this rule (for now) will be unthorough. It will mostly just blacklist major VPN companies such as Nord and Proton, which is a move that has been long coming anyways. Soon the West will do the exact same thing. VPNs have become too mainstream. They're so mainstream that normies can use them, which governments find unacceptable. If only the smart minority can hide their actions online, that's ok. If the average Joe goycattle can obscure their presence online by simply pressing a couple buttons, the government WILL step in.
>why this is a good thing
VPNs shouldn't be these giant conglomerates anyway. Giant conglomerates are always run by glowniggers. The act of using or running a VPN (as a non-corpo) is essentially adjacent to a criminal action anyway, at least from the point of view of the government. That's why you always need to treat it as such. This requires a lot of OPSEC (crypto, VPS, etc) and some knowledge too (how to run OpenVPN off your server for instance).
>corpos?
Banning VPNs would prevent corpos from functioning. I don't understand how no one sees this. It would crash the economy, among other damage caused

Dumb question, but i will answer because at least it's probably not bait.
>run by glowies
They aren't "run" by glowies, but glowies have backdoor access. Kinda like how your business is run by you, but glowies can come by and make you their bitch at any point, accessing any of your shit. They're not always present, so they're not always "running it".
>the glowies
It's amazing how many Americans don't understand the following. No offense but you Americans are really dumb for a supposedly first world country. And if you're not American, you should be even more ashamed that you get compared to the dumbest first world country. Anyway, let's say an American glowie wants to access records from a business in Russia or China. Do you really think they'll be allowed in, to do whatever they want? No, they'll be told to fuck off. Therefore, Muttmerican glowies only have access to VPN servers that are within their sphere of influence. You retard Muttmericans have been conditioned to believe that Muttmerica's sphere of influence is indeed worldwide, but in reality it's shrinking. Your glowies couldn't even access Israeli VPN records if they wanted.
>but muh 5 eyes
Yes, there are situations where Muttmerican glowies can access VPN records in other shitholes such as Britain, but Muttmerican influence sphere is shrinking. Shrinking quite fast recently, i might add. Therefore, the next stage rapidly advances, which is the nationalization of the internet. No more worldwide internet, but an intranet for each nation. North Korea style.
I hope this answers your question. Glowies don't like things existing outside their sphere of influence. Right now, I can run a VPS in Venezuela from USA, and Muttmerican glowies can't obtain the VPN records, assuming those records even exist. They have no jurisdiction there.

>>108613658
I don't know what green tunnel does but our DPI bypass utilities like byedpi and zapret mangle and shit up the traffic with fake packets to force DPI to fully reconstruct the traffic and not just sniff out SNI. Packets get heavily fragmented, sent out of order, fake fragments get low TTL or rare TCP options like md5 signature which servers usually don't support and drop. If the server is blocked by IP this doesn't work, but with ddos protection services like cloudflare this is increasingly more rare. It's possible to block but requires a huge amount of resources.
>>108613677
There is a whitelist for mobile operators during drone alarms. There are VPNs that operate from whitelisted IP ranges, they use vless and obfuscations to pretend to be regular https traffic and fake SNI with whitelisted addresses.
