127 dated February 12, adding the restrictions will not affect Russian companies using VPN services in continuous technological processes. However, RKN described the VPN service as a threat in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. Sindzelorts also highlighted that the company has already stepped up its efforts to safeguard the privacy and confidentiality of its users by offering a range of services such as anti-tracking, DNS above https, and blocking suspicious websites. Opera’s suspension of support of VPN services in its browsers in Russia is a preventive step that will enable the company to remain committed to the confidentiality and security of users and provide them with the best products, Opera’s PR Manager, Yulia Sindzelorts was quoted as saying to the Russia’s News Agency, TASS. “In accordance with the regulation on responding to threats to circumvent restrictions on access to child pornography, suicidal, pro-narcotic and other prohibited content, restrictions on the use of VPN services VyprVPN and Opera VPN will be introduced from June 17, 2021,” the state watchdog said in a statement. Opera web browser has halted support of its VPN services in Russia late last week, after the country’s telecoms and media regulator Roskomnadzor (RKN) passed new restrictions that hinder its operations.
