Loom has been working intermittently from Russia since 2022 — recording and video links sometimes open, sometimes don't, and payment with Russian cards does not go through. The VPN for Loom from HubHide restores smooth access through an overseas server on VLESS. To be honest: the subscription is paid for with a foreign card according to Loom's rules — the VPN is responsible for access and a stable connection.
Loom has been working intermittently in Russia since 2022: screen recording, video links, and login are sometimes unavailable, and payment with Russian cards does not go through — the service is in a "gray zone" for the Russian Federation (Loom payment breakdown from Russia).
Smooth access is provided by a VPN that isn't blocked by filters: in 2025, 258 VPN services were blocked, by February 2026 — 469 (Kommersant, Habr). That's why the VLESS protocol with HTTPS obfuscation is important.
With an overseas server, Loom opens stably: screen and camera recording, processing and sharing links work. Subscription payment is made with a foreign card according to Loom's rules — the VPN is responsible for access and a stable IP.
258 blocked VPN services in 2025 → 469 by February 2026 (Kommersant, Habr). In the Freedom on the Net 2025 ranking, Russia scores 17 out of 100 (Freedom House). Therefore, it's important to have a VPN that isn't blocked by the first filter it encounters.
A VPN encrypts traffic and routes it through an overseas server, assigning a foreign IP. For Loom, you appear with a regular foreign address, recording and uploading stop breaking, and the connection is obfuscated as HTTPS.
For video recording, channel stability is important: video uploads and link generation shouldn't be interrupted. Keep one stable server on VLESS. For payment, you need a foreign IP matching the card's country; the subscription itself remains subject to Loom's rules.
It's not about the brand, but the protocol and whether the service is updated. There's no "magic protocol forever" — filters in Russia have even gone after advanced protocols. The winning combination is: VLESS and obfuscation (masquerading as regular HTTPS) plus a service that keeps several connection methods ready and constantly updates. HubHide is designed exactly this way.
| Protocol | Restores access to Loom in the Russian Federation | Speed | Obfuscation |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLESS (+ obfuscation) | ✓ Yes — working choice | High, stable | As regular HTTPS |
| WireGuard | ✗ Gets blocked first | High | No |
| OpenVPN | ✗ Detected by filter | Medium | No |

"VPN for Loom free" is inconvenient for recording: video uploads break on slow servers, and a "dirty" IP is not suitable for payment. Plus security — according to Top10VPN, 88% of free VPNs had data leaks.

Basic terms to choose a VPN consciously
A technology that encrypts internet traffic and routes it through a remote server, hiding your real IP and the contents of the connection from third parties.
A modern protocol based on Xray with traffic obfuscation as regular HTTPS — resistant to DPI and blocking, providing high speed and low ping.
Deep Packet Inspection — deep analysis of packets on operator networks to detect and cut VPN traffic. VLESS obfuscates and bypasses it.
Technical means of counteracting threats — operator equipment in Russia used for filtering and throttling traffic.
The network address of a device. The service uses it to determine your country; changing your IP through a foreign server opens access.
Signal delay to the server in milliseconds. The lower the ping, the more responsive online — important for games and calls.
A feature that blocks internet when the VPN disconnects, preventing your real IP and traffic from "leaking" onto the network — critical when changing regions.
A bank card from outside the Russian Federation or a virtual international card — often needed to pay for services that don't accept Russian cards.
Access is only half the story: how your connection is protected is equally important. Free services often monetize user data: according to a Top10VPN study, 88% of free VPNs had some type of leaks, and many passed data on to third parties. So choosing a VPN for Loom should be taken as seriously as choosing a password.
HubHide uses strong encryption and the VLESS protocol, does not log your activity, and does not sell data. The kill switch function blocks internet in case of a sudden VPN disconnection, preventing your real IP from being exposed, and DNS leak protection keeps requests from bypassing the tunnel. For working with Loom, this means your traffic remains private from device to server.
It's also worth considering how regulation is changing. In spring 2026, Russia blocked access to some services via popular VPNs and announced charges for international mobile traffic exceeding the limit (Meduza). However, this measure applies to mobile networks — it does not affect home wired internet. Using a VPN by private individuals is not prohibited in Russia: HubHide is an international information security service, and you simply choose which route your own traffic takes.
