4. A server responds to a ping with a round-trip time of 20 milliseconds. What is the maximum possible distance?

Answer

At most 2000 km. The site allows 100 km per millisecond of round-trip time. Light in fiber covers about twice that per millisecond, and a round trip covers the distance twice.

5. Which provider lists the most countries?

Answer

NordVPN lists 150 countries. In 95 of them, every location is marked virtual.

6. How many of the 130 networks behind the servers host locations from more than one VPN provider?

Answer

45 of 130 networks host locations from more than one provider.

7. A location is shown as “matches the country.” What does that mean?

Answer

“Matches the country” means that no reply ruled out the listed country and the closest reply places the server near it. This is not proof. The server could still be just across the border.

8. How many of the 177 listed countries are listed by only one provider?

Answer

39 of 177 countries are listed by only one provider.
