Yeah... Russians are known for their ability to reverse engineer and circumvent protections of all sorts... For good and bad...

I'm pretty sure it won't take long before there are easy ways to circumvent whatever VPN blocking Putin invests in...

They'll be coming for RuPaul next

"the register of prohibited information",...

That just sounds to me like Russia has some powerful locked-up black magic.

Some. Putin won't fuck with the Pope though. You know why you never hear about Putin threatening to de-nazify Vatican city? That's right, the Secret Archives.

This is the third post talking about this ban and it got me thinking.

Would it be possible to hide the VPN traffic in HTTPS traffic? Something like HTTPS bridges for Tor, but instead of Tor traffic going through the bridge, it would be VPN traffic?

I mean you can tunnel any traffic through SSH or SSL. Its pretty easy.

Good to know. My brain stopped working when I typed that... So I guess it would be very beneficial to spin up a spare server for my Russian friends to access western media after this goes live.

How this will impact piracy?

Because you won't be able to get a VPN on RuStore anymore

It's like the Playstore. Lots of smaller countries have their own version of the store, for control or sanction reasons. RuStore in particular is mandatory to have installed by all Russian OEMs
