Andrey,

A new development... From
https://adguard-dns.io/en/blog/encrypted-client-hello-misconceptions-future.html

"In November 2024, Russia began blocking Cloudflare’s implementation of
Encrypted Client Hello (ECH), a privacy-focused extension of the TLS
protocol. “This technology is a means of circumventing restrictions on
access to information banned in Russia. Its use violates Russian law and is
restricted by the Technical Measure to Combat Threats (TSPU),” the
statement by the Russian Internet regulator read. Russia, known for its
tight control over internet access, views ECH as a tool for bypassing
geo-restrictions, though that was never its intended purpose. "
