How Russian internet watchdog \u2013 The Roskomnadzor (RKN) \u2013 aims to implement such task is not clear, perhaps to block entire internet. Anyway, it considers another idea: to penalize them \u2013 imposing fines on VPN failing to block access to forbidden web-resource in Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Such measure is more effective believes RKN. The RKN\u2019s chief Zharov stated that his \u201coffice has the right to block VPN services which failed to comply with current Russian law, but it does not have obligation to do it within certain and defined term\u201d. The RKN has identified nine VPN services who don\u2019t comply with Russian rules and currently the office anticipates adoption of new law providing fines for VPNs if they fail execute request made by RKN or any other relevant governmental body to restrict access to certain web-resource.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">VPN\u2019s service make RKN\u2019s blockings and most RKN\u2019s work senseless. RKN targets certain web-site, sends notification to block access thereto, ISP execute RKN\u2019s requirement and VPN provide access. It seems in the context of VPN services the Russia is a market with strong potential unless the Russian state cut itself off global internet. RKN has sent served 10 VPN providers with requirement to connect to federal registry of blocked web-sites in order to implement blockings and only one Russian VPN service has agreed to do it \u2013 Kaspersky.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">But even if the new law would provide fines for VPN services there remain another question \u2013 how RKN would implement and execute the decision of Russian court overseas? Even if Russia has reciprocal agreements on legal help with other countries, most VPN services can change the country of their residence and chose such country where the Russia would not get the violator. Such issue could be another argument for Russian internet autonomy what, in its turn, can make internet connection in Russia much worse.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VPN\u2019s service make RKN\u2019s blockings and most RKN\u2019s work senseless.
