Can you just move (or proxy) service to subnet, near to jitsi.riot.im (94.237.57.21) or scalar.vector.im (104.31.71.95, 104.31.70.95), or proxy via Cloudflare like matrix.org? Those subnets are not blocked in Russia, and seems Russian government stop process of blocking new Telegram IP ranges (replaced them to DPI analyze).

We don't control the whole subnet (though note that it's already close to jitsi.riot.im). Proxying outbound requests via other servers significantly complicates the operational complexity of our network. We made a particular effort when the main homeserver was blocked, but it's just not worth it for a test tool like the federation tester.

or proxy via Cloudflare like matrix.org

outbound requests are not proxied via cloudflare. But sure, if you put inbound requests to your own homeserver behind cloudflare, that will fix it!

https://isitblockedinrussia.com/?host=94.237.61.73 claims that the relevant IP address is no longer blocked - can anyone confirm?

Unfortunately, no. 94.237.61.73 is still blocked in russia. It's blocked by megafon (the uplink for my matrix homeserver) and by nevalink (my home ISP)

turn.matrix.org works fine, but I can't call my friend who is registered on matrix.org and uses it from ios app. His phone just not ringing but he receives the message that I'm ringing. (And he always can successfully call me.) Is there a way to debug it?

richvdh commented 4 years ago

I believe that most of the misguided IP blocks have been lifted.

Yes, Russian government stops blocking Telegram: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_Telegram_in_Russia

It was officially unblocked on 19 June, 2020.
