        Bootlicking simply comes naturally to the Russian culture.

        Edit: my apologies to the Russian brothers and sisters still fighting the good fight by blowing up Putin’s shit.

            Wouldn’t those be jobs that typically require advanced education? Why would they want to throw that subset of the population into the meat grinder?

                Good read. So it sounds like your analysis of the situation is that it is short sighted and Putin is simply a Megalomaniac attempting to hold onto power, would you say that is an accurate summary? Or is he just crazy and super optimistic that things will change all the sudden one day?

                Because even if you kept all the people physically producing bombs and shells, eventually you will run out of the educated people that run the other industries that support the military industrial system in Russia if this goes on for long enough.

    Can someone explain from a technical standpoint how they can block OpenVPN running on port 443? my admittedly limited understanding is that port 443 is the common port for https. If they blocked that port wouldn’t that mean that they would be blocking nearly the entire internet?

      You can analyze the traffic, detect common patterns and also detect source of the request. Russian IT specialists are now using very complex solutions to come around the block which work a lot like MITM attacks.
