Hi! Good question. Please don’t worry with our servers. We DO NOT host data in Russia. Our RND team is located in Ukraine, you can check PlatformIO Labs | LinkedIn
There is a problem with 31.28.1.0 - 31.28.1.255 IP range. This is the Ukrainian zone. You can check it with $ whois 31.28.1.238. However, the upper level of zone 31.0.0.0 - 31.255.255.255 belongs to a Russian company.
The new PlatformIO Universal Registry will be mirrored across the globe, we plan to announce it soon. We have a very good own physical server in the Ukrainian data center. A lot of our prototypes and heavy things (such this forum) are hosted here, in Ukraine.
