The AdGuards CTO and cofounder just replied to my comment, called it misinformation, but then confirmed that a large amount of their team continues to work from Russia.

If you trust Devs working in Russia with you or your companies dns security, you’re insane.

> that a large amount of their team

no the opposite

they also clarified it further

but you either seem to intentionally want to misunderstand people or have severely lacking reading comprehension

either way you can always speculate that they are not saying the truth but you intentionally mis quoting people just makes you look like a fool

His detailed clarification came post my reply to you. Prior to that his statement was that most of their employees were no longer living in Russia. Which implied that some percentage of employees still lived in Russia. He claifies that it’s just contractors and supporter without access, which is much better that some of their employees still working from Russia.

AdGuard would still be outside my comfort margins because of exposure to the Russian government through friends and family.

Thanks for understanding and sorry if my comment sounded too harsh. Over the past few years we went through a lot and when I hear that AdGuard is just registered I may overreact.

What for your position, I respect it and as much as I’d like to say otherwise, under certain circumstances it can be reasonable.
