Proton says it has servers in 112 countries. In reality, this number is ~40

This doesn’t seem to be true actually. When I was testing Proton VPN a while ago, I noticed that many of the servers had the sections “Organization” and “ISP Name” marked as Proton or Proton VPN in ip.me. This is a site that Proton owns. So, I asked about this from their support and they confirmed that these were in fact their owned servers. I was only using servers from the Netherlands and Finland during my testing period, and both of these locations had also Proton-owned servers, so it is very likely that Proton also has these servers elsewhere.

I can confidently say that Proton VPN have real servers in these two countries because they don’t appear in the list of countries that served by Smart Routing.
