\"Russia<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Friday, April 13, 2018, Russia\u2019s Federal telecommunications service, Roskomnadzor, placed a ban on the popular app, Telegram. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why the ban? Telegram messages are encrypted for privacy and their servers are spread throughout the world.In September of last year, China placed a similar ban on the popular WhatsApp<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the post on BleepingComputer<\/a>, Roskomnadzor banned the Telegram app because Telegram refused to provide Russia\u2019s main intelligence service with their customer\u2019s encryption keys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its was a smart decision by Telegram not to hand over their customer\u2019s encryption keys. Apparently Telegram is a pretty smart bunch as they found a (temporary) way around Russia\u2019s ban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telegram moved some their servers to the cloud. They used Amazon and Google cloud servers, effectively providing service to their Russian users over the weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This didn\u2019t last long though. In a response to Telegram\u2019s bypassing of their ban, Russia also banned 1.8 million Google and Amazon IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The addresses that Russia banned are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

52.58.0.0\/15
18.196.0.0\/15
18.194.0.0\/15
18.184.0.0\/15
35.156.0.0\/14
35.192.0.0\/12<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can imagine, blocking 1.8 million Google and Amazon IP addresses had some side effects. Users reported that some apps and online games are no longer accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal privacy is a big concern. Hats off to Telegram for not giving in. Lets hope it lasts.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
