We measure in real time which VPNs and Telegram proxies work over Russian home and mobile carriers with the Roskomnadzor allowlists in effect, and whether blocked services actually open through them. The measurements come from a network of modems, and from that data we assess how well VPNs and other circumvention tools hold up for specific regions and providers. Probes run from physical nodes in Moscow, Novosibirsk and the Far East, and the data refreshes every 4 hours. The current picture is below.
Freedom Checker measures this in real time from physical probes inside Russia. The current list of working VPN services and Telegram proxies refreshes every 4 hours and is shown on the front page, broken down by carrier and region.
Measurements refresh every 4 hours, and each service shows the time of its last successful check.

Yes. Availability is measured with the allowlists in effect, so the results reflect what a user inside Russia actually gets.
In-depth looks at the services in the table above: protocols, prices, traffic and device limits, and how to set each one up. Every review carries live availability on MTS, MegaFon, Beeline, Tele2 and Rostelecom, drawn from the same measurements as the table.
