Continuing the discussion from Proton is moving most of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland:
Why does PG claim that Proton has “servers in 112 countries” when more than 50% of them are virtual servers? Virtual servers are not “in” those countries, and provide zero value to the end user, and fool 99% into thinking these numbers are real.
Getting geo-located ip subnets is easy, keeping real servers in exotic locations is hard (and more expensive).

I counted 55. Even if it was 66, this is very deceptive. Nobody knows what “smart routing” is, and it makes it sound like its doing something actually unique, which is why they gave it a cool name like that.
This is deceptive, and dishonest. Something that PG should care about, imo.
Whereas Windscribe has 71 real countries, more than any other VPN.
If we lease 124 /24 subnets with fake geo, this costs about ~24k/month, then we can have servers in ALL countries that exist, or maybe even go beyond real countries like HMA does (they claim servers in 210+ countries, while only 195 countries actually exist).
I was just going to ask a question about this, and then I saw I already asked the question I was about to ask almost a year ago, and nobody really answered me lol:
So anyways, I will lock this thread as a duplicate.
