Network interference and realistic troubleshooting
Compare Wi-Fi and mobile data, then try another supported protocol or server. A failure on one network does not establish a nationwide outage.
Disconnect, restart the app or device, and test a different location. Contact support with the protocol and exact error.

Russia VPN FAQ
Practical answers before you connect
Are VPNs completely banned in Russia?
That statement is too broad. Current Russian rules regulate circumvention services, permit blocking of noncompliant services, restrict promotion, and attach consequences to specified prohibited conduct. Official 2025 State Duma material stated that VPN use itself was not generally prohibited. This is not legal advice; check current official law before use.
Can a Russia VPN restore internet during a shutdown?
No. A VPN requires a working underlying internet connection. It cannot repair damaged infrastructure, restore mobile data that has been disabled, or overcome a complete network shutdown.
Does a Russian IP guarantee streaming, banking or account access?
No. Services can apply licensing rules, VPN detection, account-country checks, billing-region checks, identity verification, app-store region and device or GPS signals.
