I live in Russia and with all this "VPN is restricted" fuss I've yet to meet someone without VPN on their phone. Most people use free VPN services, some are paying for it, me and my friends use VPN we set up on VPS.
I also live in Russia, and in my experience certain VPNs just get blocked by the ISP. Like, I just can't connect to certain VPNs, the connection either gets stuck in an infinine loop or fails with an error. But some other VPNs still work without any problems.
Plus, since the beginning of this month, it's prohibited to promote/advertise "means to avoid blocked internet resources", i.e. proxies/VPNs/etc, so it can be called "partially restricted"
