What our measurements show

Of the 21 countries both providers list, our measurements confirm the listed country for AirVPN in 18 of them and for hide.me in 20. In the rest, no location has been measured yet, or the measurement does not allow a conclusion.
For 2 of hide.me's 64 measured locations, the server is outside the listed country. Measurements on two days showed this, and hide.me's list does not mark any of them as virtual.
Neither list has a field for virtual locations, so the lists do not tell you whether either provider uses any.
In the countries both list, no server of one provider is in the same network as a server of the other.

From our own data: the server lists we read, our measurements, and our check of each home page. Apps, speed, and streaming are not tested.²
