Couldn't you just use any server/droplet/AWS instance via SSH to get around this law? Seems much simpler.

If you're savvy enough, sure. But for the lay person who doesn't want a clouded view of the world, they likely won't have the same resources or technical capabilities.

It's not without drawback though. SSH tunnel consumes a lot more cpu compared to wireguard. If your vps has a weak cpu, it might not even able to fully saturate a 1gbps connection due to cpu bottleneck on certain ciphers. If you're using a mobile device, it will drain your battery faster than wireguard.

that's assuming you can get one, which is challenging since most hosting companies don't/can't offer services in russia anymore
