Gosuslugi portal restricts access for users with VPN enabled
The Russian state services portal "Gosuslugi" has introduced new restrictions for its users. Now, citizens who attempt to access the website or the application with a VPN service enabled may encounter difficulties in accessing the service.
Users report that when attempting to log in with an active VPN connection, the system displays an error or blocks the page. This change is aimed at enhancing data security and protecting the personal information of portal users from potential cyber threats.
Experts note that using a VPN often changes a user's IP address, which may cause the Gosuslugi security system to flag such a login as suspicious activity. The portal employs strict security protocols to prevent unauthorized access to citizens' personal accounts.
For the correct operation of state services, specialists recommend disabling VPN services before logging into the website or the application. This will help avoid technical glitches and ensure a stable connection to the agency's servers.
At this time, official representatives of the portal have not provided detailed comments on whether this measure will be permanent. Users are advised to monitor updates from official sources of information.
