Why can't people find where their servers? I understand they have their own IP allocation, thus they can use BGP tricks. But don't they need a sympathetic ISP or similar to help them get the routes in?



IIRC They have their load balancer hosted under a sovereign IP address (the IP block belongs to a political party). So attempting to mess with it could constitute infringement of free speech.


I guess if ISPs would really go sniffing on whether they host them they would probably be able to find out (probably!). But then when you have couple of hundred VPS customer and give a tiny bit about their privacy then as long as you get paid and receive no complaints why would you really go look for them?
