So, basically, my friends in Russia are experiencing a local turmoil. The government wants to ban Telegram — one of the best messengers in my opinion — and people want to avoid it at all costs. They consider using VPN. I understand that most will look at lists like that https://10best-vpn.com/ and use whatever they find attractive. But I'm interested in what you think about that? What is the best way to ensure private and secure messaging?

Thanks.

Since all data, if you're on BES, goes through BES it is probably a good idea to assume all of it is accessible by the admin.

Hi, I've been using this app for a while now and from what I experience it does cool work, nothing seems wrong and I feel safer every time I use this in accessing my fave sites.

You can use VPN for sure in order to continue using Telegram, but there are other good messengers that can replace it. They're end-to-end encrypted and you may be calm about your security. Try Signal or Wire, I'm sure you'll like it.

I have heard about this problem and I think that Telegram added a built-in VPN in the new version. It still doesn't work?

Using VPN can be solution for Telegram.
But there are many other good secured messengers as well.
For example Wire.
