Windscribe
Mullvad and Windscribe both list 50 countries. 0 countries are listed only by Mullvad, and 22 only by Windscribe.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 Windscribe in 50. In the rest, no location has been measured yet, or the measurement does not allow a conclusion.
- At 2 of Windscribe's measured locations, the server is outside the listed country. Windscribe'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.
- Windscribe's list shows which locations are virtual: 3 of 200. Mullvad's list has no such field, so it does not tell you whether any of its locations are virtual.
- In 41 of the 50 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
