The Russian regulator has changed its tactics for countering censorship by targeting entire subnets instead of blocking individual IP addresses. Consequently, the traditional method of restoring connectivity by quickly changing IPs has lost its effectiveness and become economically unviable for many providers.
Renting each new subnet block costs around 100 dollars, while they may remain available for only a few hours. As a result, the total monthly expenses to maintain server operations can reach up to 36,000 dollars, creating a critical financial burden for operators.
With HiroVPN, users are protected from such connectivity issues.
