Ukraine Pushes to Unplug Russia from the Internet (rollingstone.com)

Summary: According to an email reviewed by Rolling Stone, Ukraine’s request to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) seeks to revoke domains issued in Russia and shut down primary Domain Name System (DNS) servers in the country — a move that would effectively bar access to Russian internet sites, with the potential of knocking the entire country offline.


How do people then communicate with the Russian people to tell them the truth of what’s going on in Ukraine?


Instead of sanctioning and making life even more miserable for average Russians we should be giving them free VPN and proxy services so they can access a secure private uncensored internet.
