One of the readers of “Zerkalo” tested at least four popular services — Psiphon, Turbo VPN, HUB VPN, and TunnelBear. None of them are currently working in Belarus. Meanwhile, in Russia, the services are working for the reader’s acquaintances.
Let’s check the data from various Internet monitoring services.
