Project Summary

Sloboda Studio implemented a geolocation tool and supporting backend tools for MirPokera to circumvent a Russia-wide block by Roskomnadzor and added minor HTML changes to improve mobile responsiveness. The site became accessible from previously blocked countries and the client praised the vendor's quality, speed, and direct, friendly communication.

Key Challenges
