At the moment, Roskomnadzor blocked more than 70 thousand sites on the territory of the Russian Federation. Some of these sites violated the legislation of the Russian Federation and, perhaps, deserved blockages, but restricting access to some resources looks extremely doubtful. One of the victims of Roskomnadzor was the resource LinkedIn.
LinkedIn is a professional social network. It is highly specialized and aimed at finding valuable workframes, exchange of business contacts, and is also an excellent platform for placing your portfolio. The heads of the HR-Department of most large companies are happy to use this tool in their work. LinkedIn registered more than 5 million users from Russia.
Why did LinkedIn blocked in Russia?
Most users are clear why on the territory of the Russian Federation there are casino sites, bookmakers, as well as sites with "pirate content". And why did Linkedin blocked in Russia? What laws violated this useful social network?
On August 4, 2016, the Moscow Tagansky District Court satisfied Roskomnadzor's claim to LinkedIn and blocked the LinkedIn.com website in Russia. The social network was recognized as guilty of violating the law "On Personal Data". The resource was to place the servers on which the personal data of Russian users in Russia is stored, as well as change the user agreement. According to the new agreement, LinkedIn would have the right to transfer personal user data without their behalf to third parties. LinkedIn refused to fulfill these requirements and access to the site was limited in the territory of the Russian Federation
How to go to linkedin after blocking
Despite the fact that LinkedIn users are quite educated people, nevertheless, some of them also experienced difficulties in order to go to Lincons after blocking. Today I will tell you about several ways that will enjoy the blocking of this social network and access the useful content. You can go to your favorite site from any device, including android and iOS.
Enter LinkedIn using browser extensions
- FRIGATE is a free user plugin from any country.
- FRIGATE has versions for all popular browsers: Chrome, Firefox and Opera
- In the plugin, you do not need to set anything - just install it in one mouse click and you will immediately access LinkedIn
- Access speed for unlocked sites is not reduced
What is the advantage of the plug-in in front of a variety of proxy and anonymizers?
- Easy use is enough to install the plugin and you can continue to work on the network as you are accustomed
- Any site can be displayed "crooked" and work unstable through anonymisers - in this case there is no such problem
- The Frigate proxy only runs through the Blocked sites, the rest of the network sites open "directly", bypassing the plug-in server. This allows you to achieve maximum speed of surfing and security in the network.
So, you just need to install the plagne for the browser Chrome, Firefox and Opera and already in a second you can get to Lincans
It is another successful tool that will again allow you to use your favorite social network. Zenmate is not just a plugin for Chrome, Firefox and Opera; In addition, it can work in Windows and Mac, as well as Android and iOS. Thus, if you have a PC, then you just need to install an extension for the browser. If you have an iPhone or a smartphone on Android - you will also be easy to bypass LinkedIn lock using Versions of Zenmate for platform data.
Also, ZenMate has an extremely interesting feature - you can choose a proxy server in one mouse click at any end of the world. This will allow you to use the services, access to which is provided in certain countries (for example, listening to music)
Zenmate is an absolutely free tool. However, there is a premium version. For 299 p. In a month you will be able to enhanced server selection, as well as unlimited connection speed with them.
Of course, not all users enter the social network site from a stationary PC and a laptop. If you visit the resource from a mobile device, then especially for you I will tell you about the methods that will easily allow you to bypass LinkedIn lock on your iPhone or Android smartphone, as well as any iOS database device.
LinkedIn Lock Bypass on iOS
If you can't go to LinkedIn from your iPhone - not trouble. In order to get to the favorite site, you can use the following methods:
- Browsec VPN is a browser that directly out of the box allows you to select one of the many proxy servers and, thus, provides you with access to blocked resources.
- TunnelBear service (install the program - and all traffic from your smartphone passes through protected VPN servers, which are abroad. Thus, no site is no longer inaccessible for you). For example, this method will suit you if you use the Safari browser and do not want to change it to another.
- Very curious onion browser browser. This software works on the basis of an anonymous and decentralized TOR network. Thus, you can access any site on the Internet, remaining completely anonymous. In addition, using this browser, you can visit Tor network sites (domain zone.onion)
- Service simply. Free VPN for everyone! The service can be used on any device, including the IOS control.
Getting on LinkedIn from the Android device is extremely simple. The easiest method is to enable traffic compression mode in Chrome, Opera, UC Browser or in any other well-known browser. After activating this option, all traffic from your smartphone will pass through the browser developer proxy server, which is located abroad. Thus, you will formally go to LinkedIn not and Russia and there will be no blocking for you. If you use a slow Internet - a bonus for you will be a slight increase in Internet access. Also, this method works on Windows Phone.
How to activate the traffic compression option in mobile browsers?
- Go to the browser settings (on the example of Chrome) and find the "Suggesting" option there, "Data Saving", etc. Activate this mode and easily bypass LinkedIn lock on Android.
The above method is the easiest to access a professional social network. If he does not fit you, then you can use alternative methods:
- install the Orfox: Tor Browser for Android browser. It works on the principle of Onion Browser, which was mentioned above. In addition to accessing Lincanin, it will provide you with a certain level of anonymity when surfing on the network.
- TunnelBear's service perfectly proven himself when working on any platform. Its minus is only 500 MB traffic per month on a free tariff plan. For unlimited use, this service will have to pay 5 dollars a month.
- Simple. Intrain also works for Android. A completely free VPN service that can undoubtedly recommend to use.
Mirrors LinkedIn.
Linkedin.com has no mirrors. Thus, look for a site mirror that would work in Russia, meaningless. Most likely, this will lead to what sooner or later you will be stumbled upon a phishing site that your credentials will decide. Therefore, you need to use one of the blocking methods that are listed above to enter the LinkedIn website using the main and only address of this resource.
Linkedin in an anonymizer
- anonymizers can collect your data and resell them to third parties.
- anonymizers may incorrectly display the site and block part of the functions.
- in the Russian Federation, Roskomnadzor prescribes anonymizers to block the resources in the register of blocked sites, threatening with blocking. Funny, isn't it?)
The above methods are quite sufficient to bypass LinkedIn blocking and any other resource, so the need to use anonymizers disappears.
So, today we talked about how to bypass LinkedIn blocking and go to this resource from a computer, as well as devices running Android and iOS. We figured out whether LinkedIn mirrors exist and whether to use an anonymizer to get to the social network site. I hope that the article turned out to be useful for you.
"Wars cannot be avoided, it can only be delayed to the benefit of your opponent." Nikcola Makiavelli (1469-1527).
Small disposition:
According to Alexa, Linkedin enters the top 20 of the most popular sites in the world.
In June 2016, LinkedIn Corporation was purchased by Microsoft Corporation for 26.2 billion dollars.
The main team remained to manage and develop LinkedIn.
Following the results of published joint plans it is expected that LinkedIn will be seriously integrated with other Microsoft products, primarily related to business and will become an even more powerful ecosystem for business world, which are no analogs yet.
As soon as rumors about the possible LinkedIn block began to appear, I began to write and ask: what to do, how it will affect the work and where data will go.
It is necessary to correctly understand that the blocking implies the closure of access in Russia at the providers level, and nothing will happen to the data themselves. Account as it was and will remain. Hence the joke that LinkedIn will be blocked, and the spam will remain from it. Part of users the application normally continued to work and after blocking.
The blocking itself can be bypass, for example, using anonymizers, as well as using VPN for example in Opera browser. To do this, you need to download the latest browser version (VPN is built into it), then in the settings, turn on the tick opposite the word VPN in the Safety section.
For more advanced users, you can use the Tor browser, but for beginners it may be unsafe.
Also expected extensions for Google Chrome, for example, to bypass Rutracker's blocking.
Sales and Networks through LinkedIn
I expect part of Russian companies and users LinkedIn in Russia will cease to use the service due to the fact that they either do not know how to bypass blocking, or do not want to spend time and effort on solving this problem. Prior to that, in Russian companies, the social network was not so popular, such as in the United States, Europe, Australia and a number of Asian countries. And now, in connection with blocking, Linked users will become even less.
This on one side increases the value of employees who continue to enjoy Linkedin despite blocking. What a newspaper "Vedomosti", for example, such a phrase "has already appeared a new sign of a good specialist - how often he updates the profile in LinkedIn after blocking," in fact, really determines the temperament of candidates, especially in the IT sphere. After all, the blocking is easy.
At the same time, if we are talking about the sale of services for foreign partners in Russia and the CIS, about non-massaging and sales of services, for example, the use of LinkedIn will become even more valuable and will bring more income to those who will continue to use. Also, I assume that the cost of information, as well as the cost of attracting customers can seriously increase, by reducing competition within the country.
A little about the internal economy
Titanic sink is a fact - and so far it is not clear how much will be sinking and when it reaches the bottom. It is not clear how it is likely that he will not sink or raise him, but so far so.
Given the fact that, in general, the local economy is narrowed, LinkedIn blocking will hit even more by companies that work in real business that are not related to the state budget or all sorts of grants. Accordingly, they will need a channel (rather, channels), where they can receive orders from the real sector, especially from those countries where money is abundant (again the United States, some European countries, China, Singapore and others).
If it is simpler, then in Russia money is an expensive resource. Many companies (especially small) their acute drawback. Due to blocking LinkedIn, the ease of receipt of finances, simple loans and attracting investments, including foreign ones, has declined sharply into Russian business.
Those who do not stop working in LinkedIn or other similar resources are people, companies, but will continue to develop this direction, continues to work and attract companies where "cheap money", their value on the expanses of Russian business will sharply increase due to greater demand and Reduced competition. The value of the ability to work with this tool will be very high. Such specialists, if in the near future, the blocking will not be removed, they will become akin to steep tops from world corporations. And companies using LinkedIn will keep their positions or even rise.
That is, it remains, in fact, decide - to take into armament "Link" or not. And if you take, then choose specialists in this topic, invest in them, choose a strategy of behavior and forward, to the conquest of the world! Well, or at least conquering the Forbes list.
I recently wrote a post about a possible blocking, in which I decided to express my opinion on blocking the LinkedIn adviser to the President of the Internet, Hermann Klimenko, who was in my friends. At first he left my post at his page, but then apparently he was somehow "pressed" and he deleted the post and himself from the list of my contacts. So, about, and now there is a dialogue between entrepreneurs, experts and authorities.
Apparently the guys do not quite understand what LinkedIn is, that this is for the resource and how much such blocking is hit according to the prestige of Russia. Perhaps they also do not understand that both Russians and Russian companies spent a lot of funds for the promotion of personal and corporate accounts, again, to bring our Russian business to the international level, and with access to international financial instruments.
And the reason is that LinkedIn does not fulfill the requirements of Russian legislation to keep personal user data in Russia. Although Facebook and Twitter also ignored this requirement. A double approach is clearly traced.
I believe that Herman Klimenko and in general, experts on the development of the Internet in Russia could understand the matter and prove that it will negatively affect many areas of business and (I will not run a loud word) in general, the Russian economy.
Also, the active participation of Olga Golodets - Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, and its resistant promotion of the Portal "Rostrud". She recommended that all dissatisfied blocking LinkedIn look for work through the base of vacancies "Work in Russia". Meanwhile, at least LinkedIn and helps to find a job, but it is only 10% of its possibilities. After all, LinkedIn is not an exchange of labor.
LinkedIn is an international network that can hardly be replaced by local social network or labor exchange. It's like to get out of international relations and work only with rubles. Such a kind of "iron curtain". But then let's refuse, for example, from Apple and Microsoft products, replace what?! Few? And from foreign cars?!
Perhaps it sounds naive, but stupid to abandon high-quality products without having worthy analogues.
Of course, we have many in the country depend on government money and budgets, tenders, and free enterprises are becoming less and less, only the most vertical people survive. So still from under the feet, they try to knock out one of the effective ways to receive and attract living customers and money for free business.
Therefore, I recommend it to the specialists to use a blockage bypass with a complete moral base. And companies that want to receive major international contracts - hire experts, agencies and enjoy further the benefits of the LinkedIn network.

Good day! Dear readers and guests blog Website, for sure many of you have already encountered a situation with a situation that some previously your favorite site ceases to open, most often it is torrent trackers, but there are completely harmless resources, for example, Linkedin.com. It is on him that can't get access From your Internet provider. Today I will tell you why LinkedIn does not open and how to fix it. I think many people who would like to accommodate their resume will be very by the way.
Why not opens LinkedIn
If someone is not aware that the resource is LinkedIn.com, then
The world's largest network of professional contacts. More than 500 million participants. Manage your professional presence on the Internet. Create your professional network and collaborate with its participants. Get new knowledge, ideas and opportunities
In fact, it is an analogue of our hh.ru, but on a global scale, where any company can easily find a necessary employee. I have long wanted to get a profile there, but when I tried to open the site, I saw a mistake:
Unable to access the site
Site waiting time exceeded ru.linkedin.com..
Try to do the following:
ERR_Connection_timed_out.
I have already seen such a mistake and I told you how this problem was solved on the DNS side, but this case did not fit there, since the traffic was simply blocked to this resource on the provider side.
A little walking and finding out why LinkedIn.com does not open me, I learned that this social network was introduced into the register of unscrupulous sites and all providers obliged it to block it, sadly, but no one has canceled this prohibition.
In order to open LinkedIn from Russia, you can take advantage of at least 3 ways that I will tell below, but of course there are much more.
- The first method is the use of a bulb browser Tor, read the detailed manual by reference. If in a nutshell, then this is a special browser that allows you to go online from anywhere in the world, bypassing the ban on your provider. It looks like this when opening LinkedIn.com. You have a chain of three nodes, on the third you go online and get access to the desired resource.
- The second method, how to open LinkedIn is to use the expansion of the Browsec or its analog. As I described in detail, I advise you to look and put Browsec. Include it through the ON switch and select the desired output point, 4 countries can be used in the free version.
- The third method, bypass the ban on the opening of LinkedIn.com, is the use of free or paid proxy servers, the benefit of their huge amount. They are calm in search engines. How to prescribe a proxy in the browser, I told in detail, look. These are not tricky ways will be able to help you open LinkedIn from Russia or any other country. Create your resume there and look for the company you need.
What is LinkedIn and for which it requires to close
The largest social network for business contacts and job search, launched in 2003 in California. The site's audience exceeds 400 million people worldwide. At the same time, in Russia, it is difficult to call this social network in Russia: it accounts for only 1.25% of the total number of users. Therefore, attempts to block the resource cause different guesses and opinions. Formally Roskomnadzor restrict access to LinkedIn due to violation of the Law "On Personal Data". The agency says that LinkedIn has not transferred personal data to Russian servers, and also collects and transfers information about persons who are not social network users, without their knowledge. Back in August 2016, Roskomnadzor Execution of the social network in the Tagan court. The following consideration of the complaint will be held on November 10, already in the Moscow City Court, and if he confirms the decision of the Taganskan court, the LinkedIn website will be blocked in Russia.
Why is LinkedIn and is it really all about personal data?
Sarkis Darbinyan
Lawyer, Head of Digital Right Protection Center
"When the law on the localization of personal data of Russians was adopted, from the very beginning, experts and lawyers paid attention to that he was unrealized in practice. But he was taken to continue the utopian policy of Russian public authority over the creation of digital sovereignty in RuNet.
More than a year, as the law entered into force, nothing could be heard about him. At the same time, Roskomnadzor repeatedly stated that the social networks like "Google", Twitter and Facebook are not falling under it, and in order to avoid the scandal did not include them in the check schedule. At the same time, the largest American IT companies obviously ignore the law and do not comment on the imposition of a new duty on them.
All this puts in a rather stupid situation and Roskomnadzor himself, and those who stood for his adoption. Therefore, a year of zero law enforcement, when no one was punished, Roskomnador took the least popular social network and decided to test the law on LinkedIn. Now the company filed an appeal to the Moscow City Court. If the social network is blocked at the level of telecom operators for Russian users, it may become an indicative case for further pressure on IT giants, imposing new rules of the game. And here the two options are: either companies will meet to keep the business in Russia, or quite soon we get a completely different - white online Chinese sample, where there are no independent global platforms, and those that exist are fully controlled by the authorities in censorship and surveillance issues "
Andrei Soldatov
Journalist, chief editor of Agentura.ru, co-author of the book "Battle of Runet"
"We are talking about the fact that the Roskomnadzor needs to save a person - they need to demonstrate activity in working with social networks, and there is no success in the taming of Facebook and Twitter."
David Homak
Coordinator and Legal Director of Lurkomorya
"What is happening in Roskomnadzor, as in any other bureaucratic structure, resembles the situation with a black box. There are such a term in the case of programmers when we do not know what principles a particular device is working. We can only guess why in fact Roskomnadzor needed to run on LinkedIn.
Let's weigh the arguments: this is a fairly famous professional network. In Russia, it is not successful in Russia, but in the West it is not at all as follows: judging by experience, in the US and Israel you are waiting for any kind of any resume on Linkedin. In Russia, social network did not gain popularity, she does not make much sense to fight for Russian users, spend money on the servers in Russia and constant senseless negotiations with Roskomnadzor.
The second side of the situation: the law on the storage of personal data came into force in Russia, and most foreign companies put on it. That is, ignored the law is thinkable. Roskomnadzor, as far as we can judge, offended. What really happens there - do not understand. It may very well be that the legal department of the RNA tries his forces on mild, as they believe, targets - on a nondescript social network, for which in Russia no one will turn around. And then there were cases.
The choice of LinkedIn is pretty successful: In Russia, he does not really need anyone, his reputation in the eyes of the public is pretty FIGURE due to spam mailing
Two years ago, the deputy head of Roskomnadzor Maxim Xenzov informed the press that Block Twitter and Facebook in Russia - the case of a couple of hours, there would be only an order and the will of the country's leadership. There was a big scandal. The leadership of the country, again, by rumors, was very offended, xenzov quickly resigned. Again, no one will tell us, because of this case, or for some other reasons, but apparently - for the aggregate.
If we accept that, having struggled with loud statements, in Roskomnadzor decided to act carefully, then the choice of LinkedIn is quite successful: in Russia he does not need anyone, his reputation in the eyes of the public due to spam dispatmers, and it is really several times in the last The time suffered from personal data leaks.
Now to law enforcement practice: life has reduced me with the separation of Roskomnadzor, which is responsible for protecting personal data. Roskomnadzor through court forbidden to distribute personal data on Lurkomorier website. The site considered a combination of photograph Valery Sutkin and Valery Syutkin signatures. That is, in principle, any concert poster singer falls for the ban and any photo in the press. We could not file an appeal, because Roskomnadzor appointed the respondent of our domain registrar, Tonic.co company from the Kingdom of Tonga in Oceania. The defendant did not appear, the case was won, the appeal from my name (as the owner of the domain) rejected. It was once again blocked in Russia. So if we get up on the side LinkedIn, judicial perspectives with such law enforcement practice I rate at the level of so-so. "
"I don't want to guess about the motives of our supervisory authorities. Why are they doing that? And what else to do. The law on the storage of personal data allegedly protects users, but neither me, nor anyone asked if we need such protection.
It seems to us that this is only our illegal and difficult laws. But there are similar problems in Europe, everywhere states are afraid of shocks and build more obstacles on the way of free dissemination of information - everything is done under the favorable pretext of protecting the population.
Block Facebook and Twitter is easy. But maybe companies will go to cooperate to maintain the market for themselves. All this is a major problem: no states are ready to lose influence, lose control over huge areas. But somewhere they are still shy or considered public opinion, and we can easily do this. "
Vadim Usmanov
Director General of the ImaginWeb web integrator
"I am not a supporter of the theory of conspiracy and believe that this is not a pen proof before taking Facebook, it is just a coincidence. But this case emphasizes the elevation of the law enforcement of the laws of the Russian Federation. In order to close the online store of one of the oldest jewelry plants of Russia, there was no notification, the plant was not at all up to date. At the end of December, they gang a court decision that providers began to automatically execute three months later (we are talking about blocking the site of the Topaz jewelry plant, later blocking. - Approx. ed.) What fright linkedin has advantages?
In general, this law is good and correct, it protects the security of the country, as the Most Motherland of most social networks is the United States. There, as you know, human rights and his freedom are limited only by US citizens, and in all the rest of the world they do not have, which showed the last scandals associated with the listener. Therefore, let our intelligence services are bare in our data and are followed by foreign. At the same time, our users will receive more high-speed access to content, as you do not have to use the Babor servers.
In the transparency era, selectively close access to the resource on the Internet is almost impossible. One can only deprive the Internet and introduce criminal penalties for 10 years for entering a specific resource. It somehow can still stop, but not always, as the practice of the USSR showed. "
What should I do if LinkedIn is blocked in Russia? We share with you simple lifehams that will help to bypass blocking.
Recall that on November 10, the Moscow City Court recognized the decision on blocking in Russia of the LinkedIn recruiting site. Now LinkedIn is negotiating with Roskomnadzor and is the likelihood that in the near future they will come to agreements. LinkedIn owner is Microsoft. And she plans to integrate LinkedIn into its products. Microsoft products are in demand in the Russian market, which means the company will be unprofitable LinkedIn blocking, and it can try to speed up the elimination of the reasons for blocking by LinkedIn workers.
Therefore, we hope that even if LinkedIn is blocked, then for 1-2 months, and this will not affect the relevance of these candidates. Access to LinkedIn can always be obtained bypassing blockages, and our "magic button" to import a resume with work sites and from social networks in Friendwork Recruiter will work.

At the time of writing, all Russian-speaking words are replaced with unreadable characters.
4. Alerts and messages from you will still come to the email candidates.
Use your favorite LinkedIn blocking option and send inmail, regular messages to candidates. They will come to them by mail.
