The American company Cloudflare (provides services in the field of cloud technologies) announced that Russians are being deprived of access to the "open Internet." The problems started on June 9, 2025.
Since the restriction is applied by local providers, these actions are beyond Cloudflare's control, and the company is currently unable to legally restore reliable and high-performance access to its products and protected websites for Russian users.
The company reports that the restrictions imposed by providers allow loading only the first 16 KB of a foreign web resource, which makes navigation on most sites virtually impossible.
Cloudflare has not received any official requests or messages from Russian government agencies about the reasons for such actions. Unfortunately, these actions are consistent with Russia's long-standing efforts to isolate the internet within its borders and reduce dependence on Western technologies by replacing them with domestic counterparts.
The restrictions affect all connection methods and protocols, including HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 over TCP and TLS, as well as HTTP/3 over QUIC.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russians will have to get used to internet outages due to drones.
