Rоскомнадзор updated technical systems for blocking internet traffic to detect and filter previously «invisible» internet protocols. This has led to service disruptions in many обход blocking services in several regions of Russia. equivalence. As reported by RBC citing sources in the telecommunications industry and cybersecurity experts, the agency updated its information systems settings to identify and restrict traffic on encrypted protocols designed to conceal data. Currently, three most commonly used "invisible" protocols are subject to restrictions. The update has caused a wave of disruptions in encrypted connections, particularly noticeable since the end of November in regions where, presumably, the new settings were being tested. It is expected that the new measure will remove from the Russian internet public and inexpensive services for bypassing blocks. These services will operate with interruptions and become less reliable. Finding stable access will require users to possess more technical knowledge and will lead to additional financial costs.
