I?m not pleased to inform you that RosComNadzor, a Russian Communication supervisory body, has started blocking huge ranges of IPs belonging to different cloud infrastructures, mostly Amazon and Google Cloud. Those ranges include: 13.52.0.0/14, 13.56.0.0/14, 18.184.0.0/15, 18.194.0.0/15, 18.196.0.0/15, 34.192.0.0/10, 34.240.0.0/13, 34.248.0.0/13, 35.156.0.0/14, 35.160.0.0/13, 35.176.0.0/15, 52.0.0.0/11, 52.192.0.0/11, 52.208.0.0/13, 52.28.0.0/15, 52.58.0.0/15, 54.144.0.0/12, 54.160.0.0/12, 54.228.0.0/15, 54.72.0.0/15, 54.88.0.0/16. Russian ISPs MUST fully block all traffic to such networks. The list is frequently updated and gets automatically propagated to ISP every once in a while, failure to block any address may result in 1500eur fine. The infrastructure listed above is being added to the blocklist under ?counter-terrorist and counter-extremist? order of the General Prosecutor Office, #27-31-2015/Id4082-15, issued in 2015 and often used for blocking an arbitrary unwanted content. The real reason for such blocking is an attempt to cut access to Telegram messenger, which refused to provide end-to-end encryption keys to the Federal Security Service (previously known as KGB). This is a case similar to San-Bernardino shooter?s, where the FBI was denied access to the shooter?s iPhone, but courts in Russia have made completely opposite decision. Telegram?s infrastructure is being blocked by a different decision by RosKomNadzor, #2-1779/2018. Cloud infrastructures are being blocked for massive proxy and VPN hosting used to dodge messenger blocking. It is said, that more Apple and Google networks may be blocked soon for apps updates and push notifications delivery for Telegram. We hope to still have the global IP connectivity to keep you informed about how the situation develops. Do not be surprised if some of your services placed in cloud infrastructures will miss Russian customers. You can monitor the number of IP addresses, domains and URLs to be blocked in Russia at the https://2018.schors.spb.ru/ page (run by the famous ENOG community member Phil Kulin). Detailed information (also via API) is available at the https://reestr.rublacklist.net run by RosKomSvoboda civil society group.

Nationality does not count: residence does. First off Gordon, it?s The Register - not exactly a reliable source of information. Second, there?s a more recent article on the same site saying what was proposed in the above article has been withdrawn: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/04/27/dot_eu_domains_brexit_uk/ That later article is headlined: "Euro idiocrats backtrack on plan to kill off Brits' 300,000 .eu domains? In short, nothing to see here - move along. Now there might be a higher-level issue about eligibility criteria for .eu domain names and oversight of the .eu registry?s policy-making. Which might not matter to people living on a big island in the North Sea because it?ll be outside the EU in a year or so. Allegedly.

Say something and get more information. Cool! What is interesting though is that they got as far as proposing this. What next?

If you click-thru then you get what the Commission said and what Eurid said. As it should be.

In his haste to get a punchy headline, Kieren got it wrong. Rather than reading his sensationalist article, have a look at the European Commission supplied info-graphic which says: "EU/EEA citizens living outside the Union will be able to register their domain names regardless of their place of residence." https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/infographic-eu-top-level-domain Thus with a Brexit that's completely out of EU & EEA, Brits are still likely to lose their .EU registration, unless they register a subsidiary of their company in an EU/EEA country, which doesn't cost much per year and thus allows for .EU to be registered to that address. > > Now there might be a higher-level issue about eligibility criteria for .eu domain names and oversight of the .eu registry?s policy-making. Which might not matter to people living on a big island in the North Sea because it?ll be outside the EU in a year or so. Allegedly. > The same info-graphic says: "A .eu Multistakeholder Council will be established to improve and streamline the governance and functioning of the .eu top level domain informing and advising the European Commission."
