Our upstreams peer on several pop in Russia although it is true that you might experience higher latencies with ISP which have more restrictive peering policies.

and no peering with russia either

** MULTIPLE SERVER LOCATIONS:** The world is going Global and we provide hosting solutions across the globe with our servers deployed in Europe, Asia, Russia and USA.

other VPN site over long fat link, i.e. USA to Russia with ping about 100 ms, you can't get speed more than 5.12 Mbit/s with default OpenVPN buffer settings. You need at least 640 KB buffer to get 50

The provider seems to be single-homed to AS15835 but uses IP transit from TTK and VimpelCom. They are major ISPs in Russia, so I guess this is why the speeds are good.

* because non-EU customers are not required by EU law to pay VAT on electronic services bought in EU, there's no database linking EU and non-EU tax administrations, so in case of Norway, Skatteetaten.

It's not exactly safe storing it in a text document, you could/should at least put the text document inside a zip file and password protect it.

These attempts mostly come from three countries. China on number 1, Ukrain on 2 and Russia on 3.
