Recently, github was blocked in Russia (see discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8692584). The ban is executed by all major ISPs (comply with this regulation is necessary to keep the telecom license so no ISP is risking to disobey), this means that if your exit node happens to be in Russia, you're out of luck when you try to connect to github.

GitHub now seems to cooperate with the Russian government and started GeoIP-based blocking. Russian exit relays should no longer be affected by HTTPS MitM.
