Subject: [cooperation-wg] Massive IP blockings in Russia
Date: April 17, 2018 at 1:36:33 PM EDT
To: cooperation-wg(a)ripe.net
Dear colleagues!
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.
Kind regards,
Alexander Isavnin

Not sure how, or if, this will affect ‘us’. But thought you might find the info of
interest—as I did.
This was fwd from the UCSD guy who administers the AMPR.net <http://ampr.net/>

If anyone here is effected by this, please email me directly, AFIK our IPv4
space here is unaffected by this and I run a couple VPN servers.
Restricting information is the hallmark of every dictator from Castro to Putin.
The below was my reply on nanog.

Per day? That's a cost of doing business. Can we donate to pay it somewhere?

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human liberty.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

Please be careful bringing in political commentary into the mailing list for an
international hobby. While some may agree that your list of heads of state may fall under
the ‘dictator’ category, you may be offending members of our hobby. There are leaders in
the ‘free Western hemisphere’ doing similar things to communications networks too.

The delete key is right above the return on most Cyrillic keyboards.
