Kaspersky Secure Connection is based in Russia. Russia is a controversial location for a VPN provider because only government-approved VPNs can operate there. Also, the Russian government is known to censor a lot of the internet, which is a big breach of online privacy and freedoms. To help rid itself of this negativity, Kaspersky Secure Connection has moved a lot of its infrastructure to Switzerland, which doesn’t have controversial privacy laws like Russia.
