    Sounds like it’s only affecting TCP and TLS, so VPN over UDP would be a quick fix.

      Russia is a free country. Unfortunately it’s not a country with very safe windows. This has led to a very unfair representation in the west.

        The windows are safe, the fault is due to western gravity.

            Just be careful, the window may not have been installed and no one acknowledged that it was missing.

              Better skip the windows entirely and use BSD or Linux.

        I love to see the reaction of those same tankies to West Gemany banning the communist party under the principle of Defensive Democracy.

      This seems to be originating at the ISP level so it will only affect Russians. Should be fine for someone connecting from the outside.

    It’s the internet version of wearing tighty-whities, gives ‘em the feeling of security.
