While Roskomnadzor mentioned their intention to restrict access to the Russian translation of circumvention tool reachability measurements, in practice, the restriction is far-reaching. The block restricts access to all OONI data hosted on OONI Explorer. On some networks in #Russia, we are able to automatically confirm the blocking of OONI Explorer based on fingerprints. For example, OONI data shows that DNS resolution returns an IP that hosts a block page. On most networks in #Russia, access to OONI Explorer appears to be blocked by means of TLS interference. Many measurements resulted in timeout errors & connection reset errors right after the Client Hello message during the TLS handshake. |
