I get the same IP from the UK, and also shows as DDOS-guard.net. Theymos said the IP would hop every now and then, this is probably just a hop.

Does make the site quite slow though.

Slow but steady. Otherwise the forum would get hit by DDoS all the time.

IP is owned by ddosguard firm and it's not the real forum ip I guess, it can be a part of security.

ping bitcointalk.org
PING bitcointalk.org (186.2.165.183) 56(84) bytes of data.

Geolookup of that ip shows Russia.

Currently I see bitcointalk.org is hosted in Russia, is this in connection with the recent subpoena? And is it a move to try to avoid such subpoenas in the future? As long as bitcointalk operators are in the US, I guess it would not help much anyway.

On what level is Private Internet Access sponsoring bitcointalk, and how do we know they're not affilitated with GCHQ or similar?
