  > I know for a fact that this isn’t true. Some Australian companies that used a VPN service that had a Russian exit node got hit with termination notices. There were a couple of reports from people in the UK and the US as well with similar patterns. > I seriously doubt this too, but maybe my last name just isn’t Russian enough. Admittedly that is one of the shakier ones, but there was at least one report from France that had a customer who had nothing to do with Russia beyond a very distant family member that caused them to have a Russian last name being hit with a termination notice. Sorry for not having any references, this all was like... 6 months ago. I found the decision awfully shortsighted and made very ad-hoc rather than properly thought through. (Hell, the termination itself was ludicrously short-notice; people had less than a week to find a new registrar for their domains. Most companies give you at least the time to sit out your renewal period/contract expiration before they tell you to shove it.)
