The dilemma of being a legal VPN service provider in Russia.

I've been expecting a VPN ban in the UK for many year. But I think now they may have got too big. They are used on mass by normals to protect themselves from ISP spying and to feel protected on random wicks. I get in place ads, by presenters, on main stream political and news podcasts.
