Russia has blocked Gordon's website in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as many other independent media and platforms. In addition, it is most likely impossible to access our website in Russia itself. However, there are ways to get honest news - we will tell you about them below.
First of all, we recommend: subscribing to YouTube; following us on social media: Facebook, X (Twitter), Telegram; subscribe to our newsletter.Use a VPN
Download a VPN to your computer and phone. This will probably allow you to visit the GORDON website. Under certain conditions, a reliable VPN service can help make your Internet connection more secure and anonymous. In simple terms, when you use a VPN, it is as if you are accessing the Internet through a secret tunnel. Your real IP address is hidden, and websites see the IP address of the VPN service instead.
At the same time, VPNs have a drawback: the Russian authorities block some VPN services. Therefore, you should choose a service that will remain available.
It is also better not to use free VPN services, as they can make money by selling your data. Most paid VPN services offer a free trial period, after which you can subscribe.
In addition, there is a solution that allows you to use a reliable VPN for free: the Ukrainian ClearVPN or the American VPN Unlimited are commercial VPN services that offer free access to Ukrainians. To do this, you need to create an account on the developer's website and confirm your citizenship using Diia.Signature.
Another way is to use the Ceno browser for Android. If you use devices with the Android operating system, download and install the Ceno browser from Google Play Marke t or F-droid.
Ceno (Censorship.No!) is a mobile browser by the Canadian development company eQualitie, which creates decentralized Internet services to support a more equal network. The browser is based on Mozilla Fennec, which uses the architecture of a peer-to-peer (p2p or torrent) network to exchange data and content between users.
A special feature of the Ceno browser is caching sites that are banned in countries with authoritarian regimes and delivering the cache using alternative technologies to such countries. The website mirror is also part of this cache and is available through the Ceno browser both in the occupied territories of Ukraine and in Russia.
Therefore, access to Ukrainian resources banned in the Russian Federation through the Ceno browser will be possible without a VPN, registration, use of your personal data, and even if Russia is disconnected from external Internet channels.
Citizens of Ukraine who have installed the Ceno browser should use it as often as possible to show solidarity with Ukrainians who have been forced to stay in the occupied territories.
We recommend that Ukrainians who have remained in the occupied territories spread the word about the Ceno browser among people you trust. Also, use it more often to show solidarity with other users, increase the number of cached pages and share cached data between you faster.
