RUS Account. CIS, Spilt Tunneling, Nothing working?

Using NordVpn, I've tried different CIS countries. split tunneling. And most of the time I get
Game launch error
Invalid game region.
You are trying to enter from region USA, game region is RUS.

And the rare time i get into the game from the launcher using a vpn. I get kicked out in the loading profile screen, saying Network Error/Session Lost Error Message. and kicks me out in 30 seconds

i used this account like a year ago with a vpn and it worked fine. so just wondering, did bsg patch anyway to use RUS account in NA. or is NordVpn just bad for this. any tips appreciated.

Nord does not work.

proton or windscribe add me on discord if you need setup advice

I used PIA (Private internet access) it worked on tarkov too and you can get cheap long subs on russian markets

If you're from NA, you have to split tunnel. If you're from EU, you can just disconnect once the launcher disappears.
