TechMeduza asks experts to sketch three possible futures for VPNs in Russia

VPN services are becoming harder to run in Russia with each passing month. Providers must keep inventing ways around restrictions and often try to anticipate the next move by Roskomnadzor, the country’s federal censorship agency. Rising infrastructure costs are pushing prices higher, while unstable connections are driving users away. Meduza asked four experts to outline three possible futures, from the worst outcome to a relatively stable scenario that may already resemble the situation Russians are living with—and could, under the circumstances, count as good news.
