Here’s how they explain it:

Why do you list the ownership status and provider of your servers?

Simply because we believe that transparency is one important component of a trustworthy VPN provider. And so that you as a customer can make a more informed decision about which server(s) you want to use.

We always carefully choose server providers, opting for those who share our values concerning privacy.

But doesn’t it also help all the actors who aggressively block VPNs, as all they have to do to create a block list is just scrape the servers’ URLs? Lately I’ve been getting a lot of endless recaptcha loops, mostly from Google services, but once I proxied through another (free) VPN provider, the problem was gone, so this got me thinking.
