hide.me vs 
Mullvad
hide.me and Mullvad both list 45 countries. 12 countries are listed only by hide.me, and 5 only by Mullvad.1
What our measurements show
- Of the 45 countries both providers list, our measurements confirm the listed country for hide.me in 43 of them and for Mullvad in 45. 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 16 of the 45 countries both list, servers of both providers are in the same network, for example KEMINET in Albania. In those countries, switching to the other provider does not get you a different network.
- Neither home page loads advertising or analytics services when opened as a first-time visitor.
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
