Russia 'successfully tests' its unplugged internet

"https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-50902496"

Earlier this year, it was reported that the Russian government along with major internet providers are planning to disconnect the entire country from the global internet to ensure the independence of Runet, or Russia’s internet.

The primary reason behind this internet shutdown is to ensure the “security” of its internet infrastructure in case of a foreign cyberattack.

The Russian Ministry of Communications on Monday announced that it had successfully conducted a series of tests to check whether the country’s internet service would function if it were to disconnect from the Worldwide Web, reports BBC.

My husband told me about that the other day.... a bit scary honestly.

Elon Musk's satellite internet plans will make things like this not possible in the future...
