What our measurements show

Proton VPN's list gives no server addresses, so none of its locations can be measured. The measurements on this page cover only IVPN.
Neither list has a field for virtual locations, so the lists do not tell you whether either provider uses any.
Neither home page loads advertising or analytics services on a first visit.

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
