A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a virtual private network that can hide a user’s location and encrypt data. As a result, Russians who have opted for this solution continue to use blocked social networking sites. Interestingly, the day before the ban, the demand for VPNs in Russia increased by a whopping 2,088 percent compared to the average daily demand in mid-February! This was reported, among others, by the TOP10VPN portal, which monitors these data on an ongoing basis.

The aim of these actions is to cut off access to all virtual private networks.
