What our measurements show

Of the 39 countries both providers list, our measurements confirm the listed country for IVPN in 39 of them and for Mullvad in 39. In the rest, no location has been measured yet, or the measurement does not allow a conclusion.
So far, no measured location of either provider has its server outside the listed country without being marked as virtual.
Neither list has a field for virtual locations, so the lists do not tell you whether either provider uses any.
In 18 of the 39 countries both list, servers of both providers are in the same network, for example CDNEXT in Argentina. 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
