Except when you’re walking on a road, you should walk on the opposite side of vehicle traffic.
I take back my post, THIS is my hill to die on. Please note that it applies to any mixed use path where one type of traffic is markedly slower, so pedestrians on the road, obviously, but also walkers on bike paths.
You can, but you may have to bounce around servers a bit to find one that works. I’ve had good luck with servers in Norway (not 100%, but better than other countries).
