Steem VPN does not endorse a Steem blockchain managed by Justin Sun, The Tron Foundation, Steemit, or any of their affiliates.
Softfork v0.22.2 was used to prevent precisely the situation that has unfolded over the past week.
A gross misrepresentation of leadership and respect towards the Steem Witnesses from Justin Sun has now put SteemVPN in a position where we will now need to pick a side if a resolution is not achieved in the townhall meeting that is taking place tomorrow.
This is a official notice from SteemVPN that we do not endorse Tron, and will be forking at earliest convenience to whatever chain the previous Top 20 witnesses decide upon after the consensus model has been set.
If you would like read more about the hijacking of the Steem Blockchain by Tron, SteemVPN recommends browsing the following 20 Witnesses's blogs. They are previously the majority Consensus witness nodes that had support from over 180,000 unique Steem users.

If you like what any of the above 20 Witnesses have said over the past week, please endorse them with your Witness Vote. Its crucial to prevent a chain split that would stress out the entire Steem community.
You power to vote is the most powerful tool you have on steem, if we come together we will defeat the Justintianists.

I know I am a bit late (a bit overloaded with the recent events), but I wanted to say thank you for your unfailing support @steemvpn, really appreciated!
The Steem blockchain is currently being attacked by a central authority in order to take control of the witnesses. If you are not managing your witness votes, please consider setting @berniesanders as your witness voting proxy by clicking here to help restore the decentralization of Steem.
