Amnezia VPN's Mandatory Upgrade Boosts Censorship Fight
10 Aug
Summary
- Amnezia VPN released a mandatory app upgrade for all users.
- The update enhances tools to circumvent digital censorship in Russia.
- Amnezia VPN recently recovered from a significant cyberattack.
Amnezia VPN has released a mandatory update, version 5.0.0.5, for all its Premium and Free users. This upgrade is designed to enhance the VPN's resilience and its capabilities in combating digital censorship, especially for users in Russia attempting to circumvent government restrictions.
The new version introduces enhanced usability and integrates new system tools. Notably, it allows users to easily install and configure MTProxy and Telemt proxy services, facilitating access to Telegram in restricted regions without manual server setup. Additionally, users gain more control over their VPN connections with expanded networking options for the XRay protocol.
This development follows a significant cyberattack that Amnezia VPN experienced in June, allegedly orchestrated by Russian authorities. The attack disrupted its services, but the company promptly released a fix and restored its premium server locations. The upgrade reaffirms Amnezia's commitment to long-term resilience against sophisticated blocking attempts.
