Tajikistan Blocks Over 300 Websites

Tajik authorities block hundreds of sites including popular social networks and video platforms

Which websites are blocked in Tajikistan?

Representatives from several internet service providers reported receiving letters demanding the blocking of access to over 300 different websites. The list includes Wikipedia, Facebook, Russian news sites, and anonymizers that bypass content restrictions. Some providers also mentioned receiving calls from the Communications Service.

Experts believe the new wave of blockages may be linked to a Facebook post in Tajik calling for protests against the current government. Previously, internet providers were instructed to block websites belonging to the Ozia-Plus holding, Ozodagon news agency, Tajik Radio Liberty, and other news portals. However, the lists of blocked sites differ between operators. To bypass these restrictions, users can employ specialized services.

How to Choose a VPN?

To bypass content restrictions, using a VPN in Tajikistan is recommended. Why is such a service necessary?

1. A VPN masks your real IP address, allowing you to browse while appearing to connect through a VPN server.

2. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic from your computer through the VPN server, protecting you from interception on public Wi-Fi networks and hiding your activity from your internet provider.

3. A VPN enables access to websites blocked in Tajikistan.

VPN Service Selection Guidelines

If you decide to use a VPN service, it's important to choose wisely. Here are the key selection criteria.

• While you can download free VPN software for your computer, remember that publicly available free programs perform poorly. Consider where a free service gets funding for server rental, employee salaries, and website maintenance. It's possible they're financed through selling your logs or by intelligence agencies.

• An important factor is the domain registration date and user reviews on forums and discussion boards.

• VPN servers should not reveal your real IP address when tested on WhatLeaks.com.

• The cornerstone of user security is a no-logs policy. You can only verify this after gaining access to technical servers, so always look for a VPN service that offers this guarantee.
