VikingVPN's warrant canary lapsed (was updated later)

VikingVPN's warrant canary lapsed -- they've since provided an explanation and updated it, but I wanted to document it so people are informed.

Response from VikingVPN admin

Hi guys, VikingVPN admin here.

Our warrant canary is a "dead man's switch" style canary that activates if we do not refresh a timer at regular intervals. I am currently in Austria doing unrelated work for OSTIF (negotiating with the Austrian government to establish an EU wing) and did not get to it in time due to an overloaded schedule. The service is fine and we have received no requests for information, clandestine or otherwise.

I will publish a signed statement on the transparency blog shortly.

I'm glad that someone noticed!

Edit: The canary has been updated, and the PGP signed statement is up on our transparency blog.
