AS210976
The server runs stably, but there is a major issue: Timeweb fails to maintain the reputation and clean geolocation of its IP addresses.
All IPs are issued under the autonomous system AS210976 (TWC-EU, Timeweb LLP, KZ). Although specific addresses are formally registered in RIPE as Netherlands (NL) or Germany (DE), they are widely identified as Russian. Major services including Google, YouTube, PayPal, and various banks detect the location as 'Russia' (specifically Krasnodar Krai).
This happens because the provider does not adequately monitor how AS210976 is used and refuses to replace 'polluted' IPs that are already flagged in Geo-databases as being linked to the Russian Federation. New customers receive addresses that are automatically flagged as high-risk or incorrectly localized simply because they belong to this specific AS.
As a result, legitimate users face blocks, restrictions, and denied access, even though the server is physically located in Europe.
If it is critical for your services to identify you as a non-Russian user, avoid renting a VDS from Timeweb Cloud. Their IPs might be technically in Amsterdam or Frankfurt, but in practice, they are treated as Russian.
