Second Chapter - Putin forbids VPN

[skipdaflip]

Putin wants to block VPN in Russia. This seems like a next Chapter in extreme measurements. This will also affect business users. A company uses encrypted connections with clients, so a user can connect safely to their company without being tapped by a hacker or individual with bad intentions. 

 

I'm not sure if they wants to forbid VPN providers or VPN in common. But with blocking VPN, you can't visit a blocked site anymore.

 

VPN is also used by journalists to submit news. (Like citizens in Syria brought local news about their situation to the outside world). This is another chapter in extremist steps that Russia takes.

My NoRoot Firewall app uses a virtual private network to keep

annoying 'come with the phone or tablet' apps from contacting their

mother ships.

 

I hope this  doesn't take effect immediately.

 

At least Putin can't ban prayer.

China is doing the same.  Apple have already removed VPN apps from the apple store for China.

There is always TOR and trails OS... The 'dark' Internet world has gone waay to far for anyone to completely block something. Luckily we can use some of those features.
