Russia VPS. Deaf to Western takedowns.
The only major jurisdiction where Western takedown infrastructure has literally zero traction. Sold with the warning label it deserves: crypto-only billing is unaffected by sanctions, but some Western ISPs run degraded routes to Moscow. Test the looking glass first.

The deepest hole available against Western process
Moscow exists in our lineup for one reason: it is the only major jurisdiction where Western takedown infrastructure has literally zero traction. Roskomnadzor's enforcement machinery is aimed at domestic political content, not foreign copyright complaints — a DMCA notice, a German injunction or a US civil subpoena lands in Moscow with the legal weight of junk mail. For workloads whose adversaries are Western rights-holders or US civil plaintiffs, this is the farthest point on our map.
The same asymmetry that blocks Western process also means Russian law governs what can be hosted: local rules on political content and adult material apply in this location, and our AUP reflects them. And the second honest caveat, in the other direction: if your adversary is the Russian state, do not host here. This jurisdiction shields you from Western claims — never from domestic ones. For that threat model, pick Iceland or Switzerland.
We list this location because the legal asymmetry is real, verifiable, and useful to a specific set of workloads — not because it is comfortable. Every sentence on this page is the sentence we would want to read before paying.
Legal highlights
- Zero traction for Western takedowns — DMCA notices, EU injunctions and US civil subpoenas carry no force.
- Crypto-only billing — sanctions-proof by design; there are no card rails for anyone to sever.
- MSK-IX peering — strong domestic and CIS connectivity, one hop from most Russian ISPs.
- Same service, same build — full root, 55-second deploys, no-KYC token accounts, encrypted nodes.
- Local law applies to content — no adult content in this location; domestic political rules bind. Read the AUP.
Moscow facility, CIS-facing fabric
Same node build as every location — the difference is the legal and routing geography around it.

Median RTT from Moscow
Measured against our looking-glass host, trailing 30 days, median round-trip. Western routes vary by carrier and can change without notice — treat these numbers as a floor, and verify your own route.
| Destination | Typical route | Median RTT |
|---|---|---|
| 🇬🇧 London — Western Europe | via Helsinki / Frankfurt (carrier-dependent) | 66 ms |
| 🇩🇪 Frankfurt — Central Europe | direct, via Baltics | 53 ms |
| 🇺🇸 New York — US East | via Frankfurt (some carriers filtered) | 127 ms |
| 🇺🇸 Los Angeles — US West | via Frankfurt / New York | 187 ms |

Who should pick Russia
- Workloads targeted by Western copyright enforcement — archives, mirrors and reference sites facing automated takedown mills.
- Services with user bases in Russia and the CIS — domestic routes are excellent and local ISPs are one hop from MSK-IX.
- Researchers needing a Moscow vantage point — measurement, availability monitoring, anything that must see the network from inside.

Russia, answered — including the uncomfortable parts
Because you deserve the full picture. Sanctions do not affect us — we are crypto-only, with no card rails to cut. But some Western ISPs run degraded or filtered routes to Moscow, and we cannot route around physics. Test the looking glass from your users' networks first; if latency fails your bar, Moldova gives you the same DMCA posture on cleaner routes.
Anyone whose adversary is the Russian state — this location shields you from Western claims, never from domestic ones. Adult content is also prohibited under local law and our AUP in this location. If either applies to you, pick Iceland or Switzerland instead; we would rather lose the sale than put a customer in the wrong jurisdiction.
Correct. DMCA notices, EU injunctions and US civil subpoenas have no traction in Moscow — the local enforcement apparatus simply does not process foreign copyright claims. We act on valid orders from the hosting jurisdiction only, and that is the whole point of this location. Since this rack opened in 2024, no Western takedown has ever resulted in a suspension here.
