Akamai is aware of content and connectivity filtering within Russia. Although we have not yet seen wholesale blocking of our platform for users, Russian network operator actions and actions by the Russian government may impact delivery to some users within some networks.

Such blocks often happen without any advance notice and are beyond our control. This is a highly dynamic situation as the nature and targets of filtering and blocking are changing without notice or visibility.

The Akamai network can automatically adapt to some of these impacts. However, it is impossible for us to respond to all Russian government actions (including IP-based blocks, SNI-based blocks, traffic throttling, total network shutdowns, and potential others).

Because of the constantly evolving situation — including active hostilities — ongoing delivery of traffic to users in Russia is provided, unfortunately, on a best-effort basis.
