So, in 2025, Snap! worked. Then… it stopped working in 2026. It only works with VPN.
It happens everywhere - in the forum, in the site and in the editor. 
Папа Таши: И не будет. Я связался с провайдером, РКН блокирует зарубежные хостинги без разбора. Так что только VPN.
Tasha’s dad: And it won’t be. I contacted the provider, the RCN blocks foreign hosting indiscriminately. So just a VPN.
Oh really? Why, I hate blocking regions. Snap! should be a fun, safe space for all learners.
Restrictions in Russia are really random, change almost daily, and really depends on your ISP.
Unfortunately, I don’t think we can do much about that, other than recommending using a VPN.
I’d recommend Tor, but we had to disable access to the site from Tor because one of our users was hiding behind it to attack the cloud 
On another note, who attacks an educational programming site? SMH…
