Is it part of Cyprus or Turkey, in terms of laws?

Northern Cyprus is considered by the international community to be part of the Republic of Cyprus.

It's Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, it's constitution say: the Turkish Cypriot People.
While on Southern Cyprus there's a UK Royal Air Force base: Akrotiri
The island is geopolitically hot, maybe using a VPN based there is not the best solution.

They are internationally recognized as Cyprus, but recognized by Turkey and themselves as Turkey, so I guess they use Turkish legislation.

I agree.

Can you open a PR @Ud4ba?

This place is NOT suitable for politics things. For this reason do NOT comment about Erdogan or another president.

Let's talk about EarthVPN. My opinion it is not trusted because of Turkey and Cyprus laws.

Do NOT trust any VPN provider. Make your own Server and make it's logs /dev/null

Sometimes, good idea. Most of the time, terrible idea.

My opinion it is not trusted because of Turkey and Cyprus laws.

Like I said:

They are internationally recognized as Cyprus, but recognized by Turkey and themselves as Turkey, so I guess they use Turkish legislation.

So unless someone can give us a good reason to keep it, let's remove it.

We should probably redo the entire list from sources like https://torrentfreak.com/vpn-services-keep-anonymous-2018/ and others

Why would we change the list that we handpicked to providers from some list on a commercial website?

@Shifterovich Yeah not the best link for a source, but they still have a good list of secure and good vpn providers with relatively detailed info on them.
I would never only rely on that one source alone so of course we would need to research each one from different sources.
