The service I’m using removed its Russian endpoints shortly after the Ukraine conflict broke out.

I neither know nor care if they did so of their own volition or were forced to do so: either reason is a huge red flag NATO flag against being able to trust them.

    The issue is, how do you verify that on someone else’s server? Everything the server reports to you can be adulterated. If you were running your own VPN server, it’d be fine, and possibly even more preferable than commercial VPNs for some use cases.

      Oh, that’s what you meant. Yeah, that would be a problem. You’d need to make sure you only use encrypted protocols like HTTPS and SSH to mitigate that.
