Looks like they're just gone, and by their own hand. Everything
appears just fine NS wise. Many of their VPN servers won't even respond
to a PING, and none of them will accept connections in spite of the fact
that they're spread out among God knows how many hosts. That's actually
changed from yesterday when most of their VPN server were at least
responding to echo requests. It's down to about half now.
There's been no reply from the owners Hushmail or "local" addresses in
days either.
Also, you'll notice none of the sock puppets seem to be denying they're
gone or offering any of their usual lame excuses. No, in fact the only
thing any of them have said is "people are cheap". It's almost like
they know something we don't. ;)
It doesn't make any sense that a "network problem" would take out
servers on multiple continents, and the DNS record is alive and well,
and resolving properly. I suppose there's some outside chance it's an
"act of God" or whatever, but it doesn't look that way from here.
