A former employee of Roskomandzor, who was responsible for blocking websites, turned out to be the main developer of the VPN service AIVPN, the media revealed. Almost 90% of the code for the latest version was written by Vladislav Minkov, who worked at GRCHTs on the "Inspector" system, which checks the blocking of prohibited sites. He confirmed his participation, but noted that the project is not related to his main job. For reference, the volume of the Russian VPN market today is estimated to be between 35 billion and 45 billion rubles per year, if you include its legal enterprise segment and user subscriptions. The IT experts working for Roskomandzor and at the same time for companies offering VPN services are now the richest IT experts.
