The thing is, I couldn't even log in today, even with a VPN...

That's right, I couldn't log in today either. Our server was working fine, but since we connected a proxy to solve the access problem from Russia, the access scheme looks different.

Like in the good old days.

User -> Server

As it became after Roskomnadzor started disrupting infrastructure in Russia.

User from Russia (who was lucky) -> Server
User from Russia (who was not lucky) -> No connection or Server, but with lag
User from Russia (with VPN) -> Server (quality depends on VPN)
User not from Russia -> Server

As it became when we set up a relatively good proxy that is accessible from both Russia and other countries.

User from Russia -> Proxy -> Server
User not from Russia -> Proxy -> Server

In this scheme, there is one intermediary, which is also a weak point. If it breaks or something is wrong with it, there is no access to the server either.

Today, this wonderful proxy died, and its host said that they cannot fix it quickly, and it is unclear when they will fix it, so we returned to the scheme without a proxy (since DNS settings are updated at different speeds, our browsers continued to access the dead proxy today, despite the live server, until the DNS was updated and they went back to the working path).
