Cutting costs is gonna be why. Just check out the PureVPN website, I found it to be mediocre and their Holiday Sale alone, kind of tells me that they were the cheapest alternative Kaspersky could've chosen to switch to. And I'm extremely disappointed and salty about it. I want that Catapult Hydra and that manual WireGuard config. Also their Turkey/Türkiye server has become abysmal.

I only used CIS servers: Armenia and Novosibirsk. Both are entirely removed. Belarus, which I rarely but still sometimes used, is also removed. All that is left is Moldova, which is this tiny state.

Generally, they added tiny islands, tiny states, and a whole lot of nonsense servers from nations I’ve never heard of—in some cases because they simply aren’t nations of their own, but island colonies. Worse than even that, they did that as a Russian company, to add American servers—plenty of them—and Ukraine, of course. Because why not? Russia is having “fun” with Ukraine right now. And of course Baltic servers, because those are also “great nations.”

Generally, security means to have servers connected to nations which are either not “Five Eyes” and less “20 eyes and beyond,” as it is called. And all they did was add those—they added every “20 eyes” nation, in fact—and disconnected every CIS nation, acting as if Edward Snowden never existed and never told the world that those nations are simply not any more trustworthy. But again, here we are moving in circles, I guess.

Because again, what we are left with is maybe Swiss ProtonVPN—not sure yet if it can replace Kaspersky for me—even though I already replaced it with two not-so-secure alternatives, namely TunnelBear and CFWarp. And yes, I am sporadically getting connected again, but with horrible ping.
