But businesses use VPNs all the fucking time, this is straight up pants on head retarded. Even something simple like a service station - each one is connected to head office via a VPN - this shit doesn't work properly any other way. [editline]31st July 2017[/editline] :bullshit:
I'm curious, would Facepunch be counted under a site banned in Russia, or only certain parts of it? Is there anything on Facepunch a Russian user couldn't access?
I'd love to know how the hell you enforce this. Pretty sure this won't make any difference and people will continue getting past blocked websites via VPN

[editline]31st July 2017[/editline] :bullshit:[/QUOTE] You're right. ISPs also sometimes use VPNs for their client, every time I switched my ISP I got a L2TP connection. For those two exact reasons there will be a register of "legal" VPNs, otherwise Putin won't be able to build his digital economics he keeps babbling about.
Putin would love nothing more than to crackdown on people's access to freedom of information. Now that I think about it... Trump admin hopes to do the same don't they.
