Russia has become very good in blocking all kinds of VPN and even obfuscated VPN traffic.
My Russian friend is currently using VLESS to bypass the Deep Packet Inspection and it seems very promising.

It doesn’t work for the West because it relies on hiding behind CDNs like Cloudflare. If the West prohibits VPNs the governments in t+e West will cooperate with them. Russia could also catch them by tracking known VPN users. The unpopular CDN urls to which they connect are very likely the VPNs. They can block those connections and observe the reaction. Russia could also just buy the VPN service and know the target servers. Like adblockers for youtube, they accept escapes for the technological advanced to prevent them from taking other actions.
