Please consider blocking access to Russian websites, as they detect and block VPN IPs. Most Russian websites don’t allow access from non-Russian IPs anyway. A month ago, all of my WireGuard locations were working, but now I’m down to only three and their speeds have become horrible, with server loads often above 90%.
I really like Xeovo and don’t want to consider switching to another VPN provider, so I hope you can look into this and find a way to improve the situation.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. However this is not efficient way and won't help much in this scenario. Majority of VPN servers are not accessible simply because the IP's or to be more specific whole ASN's are blocked.
I will remind that we have Stealth Proxies and recommend switching to them instead. You also might want to check this out, so it's easier to find out best available servers https://hub.xeovo.com/posts/62-stealth-proxy-infrastructure-and-new-servers

I apologize—my technical knowledge is limited, and I’m what you might call a fan of "one-click solutions."
What about trying an experiment: launching dedicated stealth proxies for users in Russia, similar to the Chinese servers (like those JP-CN, KR-CN ones, etc.)? If major ASN get blocked in Russia all at once, perhaps rotating "residential proxies" could be used for this purpose? Naturally, access to Russian government services would need to be blocked.
Right now, users pay €40; if an experiment like this succeeded, as russian I’d happily pay €70 or €80 for such a service—just as long as it actually works in Russia. I think many users would pay that; money isn't the issue. Your service is worth it.
CN tagged servers are special one and exist currently only because of the better routing for users connecting from China. This is not needed in other countries at the moment.
If you are connecting from China and use non-CN servers you will get significantly worse routing, stability and ping compared to CN tagged servers.
