I can't be using a VPN during the gameplay as it is not allowed by Plutonium.
That is a blatant lie, we don't care about you using a VPN.
Also any solution would require more money, which is sparse.
Xerxes Servers kick us when we join using VPN
-
Then play on ones which don't.

Firstly, the whole plutonium application refuses to start with VPN running and secondly, we already have one of the worst internet services out there. Servers were already too laggy before this, now I cannot even imagine how they would be while running a VPN.

Sounds more like you have issues with cheap / bad / free VPNs.
Once again, we don't care at all if you use a VPN or not.
Expensive ones won't cause you any issues when it comes to online games, some even directly market to gamers because dedicated servers usually get slightly better routes. -
A solution for this would be an alternative (non-Cloudflare) ingress path for backend traffic, which would have to routed through separate infrastructure. This would likely cost us at least an additional ~$10/month for something that wouldn't immediately die from even a small DDoS attack. Development time would have to be spent to implement this fallback method as well. Are you willing to pool together, say $100 to cover this?

That is way out of my budget alone and I do not believe anyone from my country would be willing to spare a few bucks for that.
I believe that this could have been sorted out if someone had reached to our ISP company called Earthlink Telecom and perhaps they could've been able to find a workaround for this issue.
Personally I cannot be the one doing that as I don't really understand what the issue really is. Apart from that, the people I can reach to can't do much neither.
We would appreciate a solution for this. It is really unfortunate thing for us, especially me as I happened to discover this very late and could not enjoy it only a little before it got blocked by the government or the ISP.

Plutonium is a free service. How can you expect anyone to pay for an expensive VPN to play on a free service.

Let's reverse the logic, considering you completely ignored what Eldor wrote I already know how you will react.

Plutonium is a free service. How can you expect us to pay for an second CDN to fix your government blocking a free service.

I did not completely ignore what Eldor wrote. I just replied to both of you.
I understand that it costs a lot of money to keep things up and running and I asked for a workaround that is free and possible to do. You guys made good work with building this thing up and it is your job to keep it up and find solution for people who cannot use it. We are not talking about a few people we are talking about a whole country only from my friend group I know like 8 people who used to play on plutonium and I can also see others asking for help on different topics. in the end as I said we can't do anything to fix the problem, but you guys can. Am I wrong?

No, it is not. If you can't cope with that reality, go ahead and leave.
