[QUOTE="windscribe, post: 953052, member: 58131"] Not true. You have us confused with NordVPN, Torguard, and PIA ([URL='https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/07/vpn-firm-private-internet-access-exits-russia-due-to-spy-law/']who lied completely[/URL]). We voluntarily disclosed this July 8th: [URL="https://blog.windscribe.com/openvpn-security-improvements-and-changes-7b04ea49222"]OpenVPN Security Improvements and Changes[/URL] We could have hidden the reason from you, and nobody would ever know since gov seizures rarely get leaked online for profit/lulz. For shady VPN companies like above, it's an easy choice: Say nothing, silently "fix" it, keep all the users you have, and pretend it never happened. [B]OR[/B] Disclose it, fix it properly, lose customers and reputation. They chose the former, we chose the later. [/QUOTE]
