The 'Gosuslugi' portal has restricted access for users with VPN enabled
The popular Russian public services portal 'Gosuslugi' has begun blocking access for users who employ VPN services. Now, when attempting to visit the site with a secure connection enabled, users encounter technical errors or are unable to load the page.
This new measure affects citizens located within the territory of Russia. The system automatically detects the use of third-party tools to change IP addresses and restricts the service's functionality for security purposes. Experts note that such measures are aimed at protecting users' personal data from potential threats.
For the portal to function correctly, specialists recommend disabling VPN before logging into your personal account. This will help avoid issues with authorization and access to essential government services, such as paying fines, scheduling doctor appointments, or processing documents.
At the moment, official representatives of the portal have not provided detailed comments on whether this restriction will be permanent. Users are advised to monitor updates on the official 'Gosuslugi' communication channels to stay promptly informed about changes to the service's access rules.
