Risky Bulletin: Russia starts blocking DoH and DoT

Russian internet users have reported difficulties reaching DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS servers. The disruptions suggest authorities may have moved to block these privacy‑focused DNS protocols. DoH and DoT encrypt DNS queries, shielding them from ISPs and threat actors, and are commonly paired with VPNs to evade state censorship and reach Western websites.

Why it matters: Russian internet users and organizations relying on DoH/DoT to bypass censorship may lose a key evasion tool, prompting them to evaluate alternative privacy measures or prepare for tighter surveillance.
