Unfortunately for Turkmenistan there is not really any generic
solution because the default policy is to block everything and then
allow some traffic to pass through.

It is also possible that the blocking is not specifically targeting the
address of that VPS, but rather the whole network of the provider was
blocked.  This can happen because Turkmentelecom detected that too much
traffic was generated with that network and that they suspect it may be
used to establish secure communication.  In that case, asking for a
different IP address will not solve the problem.  There are periods
during which the censorship is softened which could explain why your
bridge has worked until now.

I would suggest that you try to determine how the censorship has been
done first but you may encounter difficulties with finding someone
competent enough to do this in the country.  I could have a look at it
if you send me the details.
