Data notes

Every line of a review is generated from archive figures using a fixed rule, not an editorial judgment. Apps, speed, and support are not tested.
Locations, countries, cities, and the number of endpoints come from the provider's own public server list. It is read several times a day and shown as listed.
The prices are those stated on the provider's pricing page for the listed country. The last column is calculated from them: it compares the monthly renewal price with the monthly price during the initial term, including bonus time.
Company, location, owner, and audits are checked manually on the provider's or owner's own pages, with each entry linked to its source. If nothing can be confirmed there, the field is left blank.
A browser opens the provider's home page as a first-time visitor from the listed country and clicks nothing. Every other company the page contacts while loading is listed.
“Marked as virtual” reflects what the provider's own list says. A dash means the list has no field for it. That says nothing about whether the provider has virtual locations.
Network: the operator that announces the endpoint's address on the internet. The listed country is where the network is registered, not where a server is located.
The status comes from a latency check of one published server endpoint per location. “Matches the country” means that no reply ruled out the listed country and one reply placed the server near it. This does not prove that the server is located there. “Pending” means not yet measured.
