Dutch authorities allegedly seize VPN server without a warrant — company claims that law enforcement will return it after analyzing the device fully (www.tomshardware.com)

The authorities apparently got tired of asking and just went in themselves.

Canada-based Windscribe, a VPN provider, just said that one of its European servers has been allegedly seized by Dutch authorities without a warrant. According to the company’s post on X, law enforcement said that they will return it to the service provider after they “fully analyze it.” It’s unclear why law enforcement impounded just a single rack from Windscribe’s cabinet, but the VPN provider said that it only uses RAM disk servers, meaning anyone who would look through the installed SSDs would only find a stock Ubuntu install on it, so the servers shouldn't hold any trackable data.

Right? I use lemmy to avoid dinosaurs from the Paleozoic era, not to interact with them!

Look, I know I am no longer young and hip but calling me a dinosaur hurts my feelings...

Also, turns out Geert is from Germany and not the Netherlands.
