hello frens
since mid january russia has implemented whitelists on all https traffic toward major hosting providers, meaning only state approved websites are allowed while rest are "banned". over half of the internet is dead since evidently everything is hosted on cloudflare and amazon for some god forsaken reasons instead of residential self hosting...
providers affected are: aws, akamai, fastly, cdn77, digitalocean, vultr, hetzner, cdnext, scaleway and of course cloudflare
there is a way around it by spoofing sni from whitelisted list of domains (such as STACKOVERFLOW for cloudflare's ip range or nginx.org for amazon's), but situation is pretty bleak and dire... this alone requires advanced network knowledge and some linux knowledge to do. needless to say, this is arguably more damage to internet done from this than that of chinese GFW.. i am quite frankly shocked
on positive side though, sni spoofing means that it unironically became more anonymous and private when using internet. all isp sees now from their perspective is me using stackoverflow and some unknown cloudflare ip destination while im making this post. same would be applied for other major providers. whitelisted, government approved site (like arch linux wiki)+hetzner destination or whatever arch linux is hosted on now
