Do you have any further information on this? Is there a list of
providers who do this? For my own projects, I would like to avoid
hosting providers that artificially restrict connectivity.

Have you tried Codeberg (https://codeberg.org/)? It is run by a
non-profit association in Germany. I would be surprised if they banned
someone without reason (at least for me, nationality is not a reason in
the FLOSS community).

I didn't know that the NNCP website is also available via Yggdrasil.
Maybe you could add it to the internal services so that it's easier to
find?
