Title: Bitcointalk.org hosted from russia? Post by: Cryptowatch.com on April 17, 2015, 09:49:06 PM ping bitcointalk.org
PING bitcointalk.org (186.2.165.183) 56(84) bytes of data. Geolookup of that ip shows Russia. Currently I see bitcointalk.org is hosted in Russia, is this in connection with the recent subpoena (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1027518.0)? And is it a move to try to avoid such subpoenas in the future? As long as bitcointalk operators are in the US, I guess it would not help much anyway. On what level is Private Internet Access sponsoring bitcointalk, and how do we know they're not affilitated with GCHQ or similar? Title: Re: Bitcointalk.org hosted from russia?

Theymos said the IP would hop every now and then, this is probably just a hop.
Does make the site quite slow though. Title: Re: Bitcointalk.org hosted from russia? Post by: Deathwing on April 17, 2015, 10:50:32 PM I get the same IP from the UK, and also shows as DDOS-guard.net.
