Mullvad vs 
NordVPN
Mullvad and NordVPN both list 50 countries. 0 countries are listed only by Mullvad, and 100 only by NordVPN.1
What our measurements show
- Of the 50 countries both providers list, our measurements confirm the listed country for Mullvad in 50 of them and for NordVPN in 48. In the rest, no location has been measured yet, or the measurement does not allow a conclusion.
- At 62 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.
- So far, no measured location of either provider has its server outside the listed country without being marked as virtual.
- NordVPN's list shows which locations are virtual: 130 of 226. Mullvad's list has no such field, so it does not tell you whether any of its locations are virtual.
- In 37 of the 50 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
