Blocked Websites in Uzbekistan
Uzbek authorities block access to sites including popular social networks and video platforms
Users in Uzbekistan have lost access to Russian TV channels NTV, Rossiya, Perviy, and news outlets including Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Kommersant, and Izvestia. Additionally, blocked sites include Mayak, Echo Moskvy, NEWSru.com, and Gazeta.ru. Lenta.Ru and Reporters Without Borders have also become inaccessible.
Internet users from the provider Sharktelecom cannot access Google search or the Rambler portal. Technically, only the national provider Uzbektelecom can enforce blockades. However, the list of blocked resources varies depending on the operator.
Why Are Websites Being Blocked?
Uzbekistan regularly restricts access to Russian websites. Currently, the country has blocked approximately 250 internet resources. Reporters Without Borders even labels Uzbekistan an internet enemy state.
More websites could be blocked in the future under various pretexts. The real reason is the government's desire to control information flow, which contradicts freedom of information. This has led to increased use of anonymizers, proxy services, and special browsers in Uzbekistan. While some services are free, they often perform poorly and can be monitored.
Why Use a VPN Service?
Many anonymizers are now banned, so Uzbek users increasingly turn to VPN services. Here's why a VPN is essential:
-
Change your IP address to unblock content in Uzbekistan;
-
Become anonymous online (you can even send emails anonymously);
-
Protect your personal data from hacker attacks.
A VPN in Uzbekistan ensures complete anonymity and security online, but you must choose a reliable provider to be satisfied with the service.
