Comment (by kallisti5):

 As I understand it, using VPNs, Tor, and other "workarounds" is extremely
 common in Russia.  However, with Haiku not supporting any of these
 solutions users running Haiku will have difficulty obtaining updates.

 I'm tempted to target a solution around "providing repository mirrors" for
 Russia as the solution. It's not great... but it is also pretty abysmal
 that Russia employs these methods of censorship.
