Kinda sad that GitLab doesn't point to VPN providers that those users could use to route around this legal issue.

While GitLab is not responsible if users decieve them about origin by using a VPN, they absolutely are if they choose an compliance mechanism that can be tricked by a VPN and then point people from sanctioned countries to a VPN provider that will trick their compliance mechanism. The law can be stupid, but it's rarely as stupid as the people suggesting simple hacks around it think it is.
