It looks like Roskomnadzor launched another wave of blocking today. I live in Siberia, the region with the most aggressive DPI and the most stringent blocking of Western hosting providers. 90% of the web doesn't work here, but Hysteria2 has been working flawlessly (better than all the others) until today. This isn't a protocol issue, as previously reported, but targeted IP blocking. Even worse, after testing, it looks like only 120 out of 298 proxies are working.
My suspicion: I think there are Xeovo users who use russian government services, banking, public services, russian social media, and online stores without disabling proxies and VPNs. All Russian apps spy on network settings. I think a one-time mass mailing reminding people about basic digital hygiene would be a good idea. Thank you for your service; I really appreciate it.

Best way to block such agencies: https://github.com/C24Be/AS_Network_List
Ah another day, another wave of bans. Thanks for the report.
We will review existing servers and remove one's that seems to be mostly blocked for majority of users.
This isn't the "best" solution. Having 2 IP addresses for inbound and outbound is, but then again we don't really know how effective that is since it wasn't established what caused a block begin with. If a censor simply buys a subscription - i hope you see how any of those measures wouldn't be effective.
I think it's well known that VPN providers separate users into groups in order to provide them a secluded list of servers to enumerate censors this way, but doing this more effectively (rotating servers often) would harm people who use clients without subscription support.
