Russia has blocked the web anonymity service TOR, the RBC business daily reported Wednesday, citing state communications watchdog Roskomnadzor, in what activists warn is part of an effort to restrict internet freedom within the country.

well shit
it’s smuggling tor executables on USBs time 😎
though i doubt they’ll succeed to any meaningful degree
Is that possible? I would think that they’re blocking it with deep packet inspection that simply drops any Tor traffic. There are only so many ISPs, after all… the Russian people aren’t draping hand-me-down fiber cables across backyard fences (and if they were, there’d be little need for Tor).
i’m not sure tbh, but tor proved to be relatively immune to censorship attacks with a combination of unlisted tor relays and protocol obfuscation, and as far as I’m aware there aren’t many better ways to block tor traffic other than just cutting the wires between you and the isp or putting a person next to you so he can look at your computer screen
Afaik using tails through bridges, preferably on public wifi from far away using a directional antenna, would work fine.
