This has been going on for a while. A year or so ago I remember Tailscale was blocking downloads of their applications from Russian IPs. HTTP 451 means "unavailable for legal reasons" so I imagine this is Tailscale trying to cover its soft spots.

Can confirm. Many paid VPNs are not reliable enough as Roskomnadzor is successfully targeting them. I though that by deploying Tailscale exit node on my own server I could overcome this. Alas, not anymore.

For a functional VPN with all the telecom companies you should set up a v2ray/Xray node on a close VPS in a country near your area.

It is functional as I had to set up some for some people, if you need help I can guide you through it as there are not many good English guides.

Thanks for an advice, I'll have a look. Was planning to setup a Wireguard server, but things are moving in this area.
