That means in a country like mine Belgium where government controls DNS through an entity DNS-Belgium they make it act as the GFW for both incomming as outgoing traffic.

For one that knows what that means, One knows how to bypass this which is as simple as letting another provider resolve DNS...

Since i use DNS to also block a shtload of advertisements, i have built in a whole list of resolvers which i tested to check if they censor.

The one i can think of my head that doesn't block is quad9: 9.9.9.9 & 149.112.112.112 one thats simply configures the earlier mentionned ip addresses to resolve his DNS queries shall will be able to reach Russian based sites again.

For a Solution from in Russia one can look at proxies,vpns,.. but i do not know what works from there for i am stuck in this sh

I hope this will resolve soon, if you want me to try and help you, i am always willing to do my best, just let me know

My US East Coast VPS firewall logs are full of Russian and Ukrainian IPs. They are more numerous than Chinese, even.

I'm not sure the people behind them are all Russian and Ukrainian, though. My guess RU/UA IPs are just cheaper and easier to obtain by malicious actors.

AFAIK you better be using VPN living in Russia, anyway. Doesn't Russian govt block a ton of stuff from their side?

Ukraine

They are generally bad actors, not worth the effort trying to filter
