Russia has begun testing a system to block VPN users from accessing the global internet
On December 15, according to Decrypt, Russia is testing a new system called TSPU, which employs domestically developed traffic management tools and is created, distributed, and controlled by the national communications regulator Roskomnadzor, capable of cutting off access to the global internet. Preliminary test results indicate that even virtual private networks (VPNs) cannot bypass these restrictions. The Russian Ministry of Digital Development plans to invest approximately 60 billion rubles ($660 million) over the next five years to strengthen its internet traffic censorship system. According to research by the global internet censorship tracking project Censored Planet, the TSPU system enables Russian authorities to monitor and filter internet traffic, allowing them to restrict access to certain websites and services while ensuring uninterrupted access to domestically approved resources. The establishment of this new system marks a significant step forward in Russia's efforts to build a "sovereign internet."
