If they did, I haven’t heard about it. China has been trying and failing to block tor for decades though, so I kinda doubt Russia managed to beat them to it overnight.

If you’re just looking for remote access, openvpn on port 443 should (in theory) be indistinguishable from normal https traffic.

Tor. It’s free, it works, and there’s nobody to sell you out when the cops come knocking.

Ok, there’s the problem. Your boot partition is pretty much full. You’re using partitions instead of lvm, so expanding the partition will be next to impossible; so start looking through /boot for stuff that’s safe to delete. It’s weird that you have so much stuff in there, I don’t think I’ve ever seen my boot partition go above 250mb used.

zstd: error 25 : Write error : No space left on device (cannot write compressed block)

What’s the output of df -H?

Also, this sounds like it’s installing initramfs, which is normally only done when first installing the OS; can we get a list of the packages it’s trying to install/upgrade?

Auto update itself isn’t the root problem. The problem is that apt update is hanging and never finishing. It just happens to be getting called automatically as part of an auto update system, but the root issue would still persist even if OP disables auto updates.

When apt update fails to complete, it’s almost always because of a broken repo somewhere; hence my question about sources.list.

I’d leave the main sources.list alone, but temporarily move all of the files out of sources.list.d and see if that fixes it.

Definitely sounds like auto-update if it’s respawning itself on every boot. The fact that it never exits is weird though; have you added any third party repos? What’s in your apt sources.list file(s)?
