    You can operate a VPN service in Russia legally, but it is obligated to block state-specified stuff internally to the VPN.

    VPN vendors have to get approval from the authorities to operate within the Russian borders. Usually, this means the provider has to comply with Russia’s censorship demands, like connecting to the FSIS.

      Wasn’t sure about that, thank you.

      My and my friend’s non-selfhosted vpns work, but it’s probably the case of security by obscurity.
