Extreme TLDR: Analysis of 20 VPNs revealed 17 falsely claim exit locations; many are routed through different countries. 38 countries were only virtual, with data showing actual locations often thousands of kilometers away. Only 3 providers matched their claimed locations perfectly. Relying on self-reported data leads to significant inaccuracies. Users should treat “100+ countries” claims with skepticism and verify provider transparency regarding virtual versus physical server locations.
