Why do you have servers in russia?

Dmytro NextDNS clearly states that if not strictly set to log the DNS requests won't be logged and even if so it will be logged on the selected country.

The Wiki page shows a few companies that are huge and are targeted to log, and the consequences are that the service won't be advertising, would be forced to stop accepting payments or be banned completely.

DNS doesn't store any valuable data for them to even bother go after as it doesn't have anything that's useful for a government to use as evidence.

So putting all of this into context, it means nothing in terms of your privacy as they don't log your queries until you turn on the logging and even if so the country in the settings get the data and from what I know it's deleted from the original server as long as the process is done.

I am speaking from what I know by their TOS and things in general that I know about though, the official NextDNS account will have the full answer.

I'd highly disagree for companies that helps with Privacy or the ability to bypass Censorship to pull out of Russia.

Telling or even in some cases forcing companies to pull out by public backlash or other methods in the said companies only hurts people who want to avoid censorship and not be monitored or limited by their goverment.

I'm not from Russia so it doesn't matter a lot for me personally but, no one who is in the same mindset of Putin would even bother to use tools like NextDNS to bypass DNS restrictions or VPNs to bypass ISP/DPI restrictions, from how I see it, it would only hurt the people who don't like the current state of things and the actions done by their government instead of causing anything good.
