@playkidsplay19@adisplayname0@FortniteLinux You can, but as a VM. There are Parallels and VMware VMs, the majority of games work this way and the performance loss isn’t too big. Also you can use the translation layer like Crossover (Wine implementation).
@GypsyEyes69@JPF369369369@BasilTheGreat@BBCNews People were mostly affected by the ban of YouTube in 2024 and the ban of Telegram in 2026, these were the most popular foreign platforms in Russia, so it led to a huge spike of VPN usage.
@GypsyEyes69@JPF369369369@BasilTheGreat@BBCNews There aren’t any legal consequences, it’s only illegal to promote VPNs. Some people accepted it and switched to the state-approved Russian services and media, but 40-50% of people use VPNs on a daily basis. Mostly the young generation, it’s less common among the older people.
@GypsyEyes69@JPF369369369@BasilTheGreat@BBCNews Internet censorship skyrocketed with the start of the war. Protocols like WireGuard and OpenVPN worked in Russia before 2022. Russian government spends a lot of resources on installing and modernizing DPI infrastructure to detect VPN (for regular ISP and internet exchange points)
@GypsyEyes69@JPF369369369@BasilTheGreat@BBCNews You can set up a working VPN and there are no legal consequences for using one, but the barrier to entry became quite high, you can’t just download a random VPN from the app stores and expect it to work. And even working ones are constantly getting banned.
@GypsyEyes69@JPF369369369@BasilTheGreat@BBCNews Almost every single commercial VPN you can find on the App Store like NordVPN, Proton, Mullvad, ExpressVPN, etc doesn’t work in Russia. Only very sophisticated setups based on the Chinese protocols still work with a mixed success.
@mysk_co Thanks, it’s important to know for people from countries with high levels of internet censorship. In Russia last month it became mandatory for Russian apps to detect if their users use a VPN. Some users rely on split-tunneling, but it shows that this approach is unreliable.
@nakocTbbb@amnezia_404 Я сам не пробовал, но вижу смысл для стриминга и гейминга в дополнение к VPN. Сейчас периодически бывают проблемы с подключением к PSN из-за блокировок AWS/CloudFlare, сервисы с таким объемом трафика через VPN стараюсь не направлять
@kapa_sabaya@yaarche@rozetked Это уже реализовано у Билайна, есть перечень сервисов, которые маршрутизуются отдельно. В список входят большинство стримингов и нейросетей.

@amnezia_404 В случае с макбуком это так и есть, виндоноуты сложно всерьез воспринимать. А вот айфон уже вопрос предпочтений, полно отличных флагманов на Android, +у гугл намного лучше интеграции ИИ. Тут я скорее заложник экосистемы, не хочется терять общий буфер обмена, iMessage и AirDrop.
