General connection problems in Russia
kawashirov
This is a post dedicated for discussion about various VRChat connection issues in Russia.
The Problems:
Right now, most connection issues can be split into three categories:
- VRChat services isn't accessible at all or partially due to large CDNs bans (Cloudflare) by RKN. Symptoms:
- VRChat web site isn't loading or loading partially.
- Can't login into VRChat on its start (just empty green screen, no errors);
- Some API responses isn't loading (Friends, world lists, ...);
- Assets (including images on the site) isn't loading
- VRChat blocks some VPNs, so services aren't accessible. Symptoms:
- Can't login into VRChat on its start (just empty green screen, no errors);
- VRChat shows errors about IP being blocked.
- General connection interruptions. Symptoms:
- Can login and connect instances but randomly disconnects from the instance once per few minutes.
Workarounds:
- Using own x-ray / amneziawg VPN on own "high-quality" VPS. (Tutorial in Russian: https://notes.vard.cc/tutorials/making_vpn_server )
- "undpi" Cloudflare WARP using Zapret (Tutorial in Russian: https://steamcommunity.com/app/438100/discussions/0/600780778224284219/ ); Confirmed: not working everywhere in Russia, only in some regions and ISPs.
- Using Cloudflare WARP over VPN or VPS (to be written)

As you can see in the comments,
there is entire zoo of various errors
, most of them non informative
at all and/or breaks VRChat until full restart
.In most cases, when connection with the instance isn't interrupted, I see
no reason to not simply re-connect
to the API and websockets in background just making passive non modal info popup about connection being re-established.VRChat should not hang or lock itself due bad connectivity and must be sustainable.

Sometimes not being able to fetch data from API leads to placeholders being exposed

VRChat can hang on this screen forever with no errors.
It just stays there until restart.
No error messages and no handling of the issue on app side.

Another thing: sometimes connections to CF isn't reset but slowed down extremely.
It seems, at least some CF IPs that VRC using is blocked because of other services on the same IP.

When assets aren't loading, they stuck at 0% with no errors and no retries:

One of the strange login errors also happening because of connection errors

The green screen issue in Quest native.
(Probably because VPN is blocked by VRChat)

The green screen,
when VRC can't connect on initialization, it stuck there with no errors

When some API requests dropped, lists in the client doesn't load:
