read this and thought to myself WOW. reminds me of a thread in here a while ago where Steve was saying that Russia isn't a good place to have proxy servers due to all the traffic monitoring.

There doesn't seem to be such a thing as privacy in Russia.

 

So Black Market is really a good market there. One reason I am never gonna study in Russia.

 

Well, as long as there is nothing to sell inside your data, you will be a bit safer using Russian proxies

 

I would use a proxy *outside* of Russia to access any data inside the country.
