I've looked into it a little bit after their comment. The company is registered in Cyprus. Not much more official or verifiable info I could find. Their developers seem to be in Russia. For me that was enough to look for alternatives.

I looked for German ones in particular because I'm from Germany, and https://dnsforge.de/ has one with ad blocking and DNS over HTTPS (necessary for Windows which has no choice of DNS over TCP).
