Like China, Russia is moving towards stricter internet regulations that would essentially ban VPNs and other proxy services. The State Duma passed a bill, with no opposition, that'd force internet providers in the country to block VPNs due to concerns about the spread of extremist content.
Russia shares a bit with China when it comes to the way the internet is treated. Both have restrictions on the kinds of content people can see and citizens frequently use VPNs to get around those restrictions.
The bill must still be approved by the parliament's upper chamber and then by Russian president Vladimir Putin.
