Almost 200 VPN services – 197 to be precise – are now blocked in Russia. An official of the country’s infamous censor body, Roskomnadzor, proudly announced the total on Thursday, October 24, 2024, as reported by Russian news agency Interfax.

Ironically, though, authorities want to keep using this popular security software. As Russia’s independent news outlet Novaya Gazeta reported, the Kremlin has spent over 14 billion rubles (about $145 million) this year to purchase VPN connections for government use.
