you may find some free web proxies to access my site

... Sadly, I suspect those have been blocked even before ALL the free "VPNs"; Putin  doesn't like to leave loopholes  , does he? ...

Cloudflare is blocked in Russia by Roskomnadzor.

I can't remove cloudflare here

@Egorkaru. can you not access the PLAIN HTTP version of 

http://o.rthost.win/

(obviously, on a browser that doesn't enforce HTTPS) ?

I found some relevant issues in the Supermium issue tracker: 

https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1485

https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/997

and, possibly, 

https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1005

@roytam1, it appears you have ECH enabled: 

https://dns.google/resolve?name=o.rthost.win&type=HTTPS

perhaps disabling it could restore access in Russia ?

IIRC there is no sophisticated settings about HTTPS in cloudflare free-tier so I have no control about ECH.

Opening website http://o.rthost.win over an unsecured HTTP connection was also interrupted after the first 16 KB. I tested in the r3dfox browser under Windows 10 (x64).

VK crash is known even in upstream, so far there is no solution or workaround. better using chrome-based browser for this.

The article I linked to, 

https://habr.com/ru/articles/856602/

is, supposedly, intended for free-tier users, with an addition in the end "For paid CloudFlare users"  ; but I'm not sure disabling ECH works anymore, as this statement from June 2025 indicates: 

https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1485#issue-3189002561

Quote

Now even disabling Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) does not help.

r3dfox (and firefox) will still upgrade the connection to HTTPS, even if the relevant setting, HTTPS-Only Mode, under "about:preferences#privacy", has been manually set to "Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode"  ...

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/https-only-prefs

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/https-upgrades

I had to first enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows, and then configure an exception just for "o.rthost.win" ...

Just in case you need something to add.

Are Basilisk browser and Palemoon already too old and do not support certain mechanisms to support AI chats like eg:

https://chatgpt.com/

https://grok.com/

https://gemini.google.com

Gemini AI tries to work for a while, but it immediately "clogs up", it is often impossible to scroll through the contents of the window, everything moves and freezes, stops answering questions further, the circle turns and the further part of the answer no longer shows.
