private Internet access is a very well considered and respected VPN provider that prides itself on three things:
- Having the most servers beyond a VPN we know (30+ currently).
- They are no hidden tricks without policy-logging.
- Being in a growing number of countries.
It seems that if the number 2 and number 3 has finally come into conflict with each other as it is said that the Russian authorities have seized some of their servers in Russia as part of a crackdown on encryption and severe surveillance laws .
private entry Internet access server in Russia
ANP response to their entry server
PIA was quick to send an email to its users warning of a possible seizure of Russian servers early this morning. They are pretty sure that this action was taken against them because of their policy of strict forest non-exploitation that does not match well with Russia let us see-all-you-criminal of enacted laws just.
The first series of laws, from September 2015, stipulates that all Web services must store user data in Russia. It may also mean that foreign companies must place servers in Russia for authorities to access.
The most recent laws have raised the pressure on everyone in a digital work considerably. Even Snowden had a say in all this horribleness Russian:
#Putin signed a new repressive legislation that violates not only human rights, but common sense. dark day for #Russia. https://t.co/J4I2SQ9VCe

Email Message sent users about entering the server
to learn more, I turn to the email sent by PIA
" We believe that due to the enforcement regime surrounding this new law, some of our Russian servers (UK) have recently been seized by Russian authorities, without prior notice or any other type of procedure. We believe it is because we are the most open and only checked without log VPN provider "
Therefore, PIA decided to not do more business in Russia :.
"by learning [seizures], we immediately stopped our Russian gateways and will no longer do business in the region."
But, of course, there is minimal concern for PIA users:
"Fortunately, since we record the data traffic or session, period, no data was compromised. Our users are, and always will be, private and secure. "
What's New? That does not make you feel better. Ok.
"To make it clear, the privacy and security of our users is our number one priority to preventive, we turn all our certificates. in addition, we update our client applications with improved security measures to mitigate the circumstances of this kind in the future, beyond what is already in place. "
If you use PIA, it would be wise to update your desktop client, and your Android client.
The future of server PIA
private Internet access does not make a joke of the first part of their name at all. They took the time to look at this situation and assess it's time for them to look the other countries they are. They will update their customers of any changes to the server-country should they decide to withdraw from several countries who are hell bent on compromising privacy online.
