hide.me vs 
NordVPN
hide.me and NordVPN both list 57 countries. 0 countries are listed only by hide.me, and 93 only by NordVPN.1
What our measurements show
- Of the 57 countries both providers list, our measurements confirm the listed country for hide.me in 52 of them and for NordVPN in 49. 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.
- At 63 of NordVPN's measured locations, the server is outside the listed country. NordVPN's own list marks each one as virtual, so the list tells you this itself.
- NordVPN's list shows which locations are virtual: 130 of 226. hide.me's list has no such field, so it does not tell you whether any of its locations are virtual.
- In 18 of the 57 countries both list, servers of both providers are in the same network, for example M247 in the United Arab Emirates. 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
