Mordor: TOR blocking started, total DPI to block all VPN coming soon
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Since December 1st, some Internet providers in Russia have started to block access to Tor. Today, we've learned that the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor), a Russian government bureaucratic entity, is threatening to censor our main website (torproject.org). Russia is the country with the second largest number of Tor users, with more than 300,000 daily users or 15% of all Tor users. As it seems this situation could quickly escalate to a country-wide Tor block.

    Main TOR site also is banned in Russia.

    Scared bureaucracy is trying to copy Chinese methods, but both of them will face same fate.

    (NEWS ON DECEMBER 22) Bridges built directly into Tor Browser are currently blocked in Russia.

    Purge continues.

    More advanced DPI coming soon, similar to China. To be able to filter out traffic similar to TOR.

    Present status:

    • TOR fully blocked if you work without using bridges.
    • All older and known bridges are blocked
    • You can still obtain new bridges but they usually will work much below 1 day time, may be even few hours

    Andrey Klishas said that he admits the possibility of introducing a ban on VPN services in Russia

    At the same time, the senator clarified that even in such a situation, the responsibility of citizens for their use will not be introduced.

    I can only answer with famous quote:

    And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

    But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money!
