Why are many VPN servers a good thing?
This article discusses which countries have BlanсVPN servers, how we open new locations, and what is good about having many locations for users
In November 2024, we added ten new locations to the BlancVPN map simultaneously. Now, users can choose VPN servers in Greece, Mexico, Belgium, Peru, Romania, Colombia, Australia, Norway, Singapore, and Canada in the settings.
In total, BlancVPN users have access to 35 locations worldwide. Each location meets our security standards and provides stable connections and fast VPNs for streaming videos in 4K quality. This was the largest addition of new locations in our history since 2018. In this article, we will tell you what we do to open new VPN locations and explain why it is beneficial for our users to have many locations.
What are we doing to ensure the quality of VPN service in new locations?
We prepare much before a new country appears in VPN client settings. First, we select a reliable partner - a data center in a suitable location. We have precise requirements for them:
- The partner must provide up-to-date equipment to ensure the VPN operates quickly and has no vulnerabilities. Additionally, we only use bare metal servers without virtualization — splitting one server into several virtual machines — to ensure no one can access our users' data.
- The partner should have reliable connections to several internet service providers in the country and a stable internet channel. For this reason, in October 2024, we rejected a location in Georgia as none of the partners met our requirements. Nevertheless, we don't compromise and always provide stable connection speeds up to 2 Gbps with minimal ping from anywhere in the world.
- The partner must have an impeccable reputation. They must operate from a secure location and guarantee privacy and security for our users. Suppose we are forced to open servers in countries we consider dangerous. In that case, we work with local providers only through reliable partners, do not transfer any data, and always warn users about the danger.
What advantages do users gain from having multiple locations?
Bypassing geo-restrictions
VPN allows you to use sites and apps unavailable in your home country. Just select a server outside your country to accomplish this. However, certain services are only accessible in specific countries. VPN servers located in these countries help you circumvent restrictions.
Access to local content
Accessing a VPN server in a specific country enables you to access its local content, such as regional libraries for Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and BBC iPlayer. For example, there are no Harry Potter films on Netflix in the United States, but you can find them in the United Kingdom's library by connecting to a British VPN server.
Speed boost
A large selection of VPN locations allows users to find the closest one, reducing ping and increasing connection speed. Additionally, multiple locations in the same region allow you to switch to a neighboring server in case of overload. For example, BlancVPN has four locations in North America at once. This ensures the stability of the connection and prevents speed sagging.
Saving on online purchases
Prices of goods, services, flights, and subscriptions vary by country, so users can choose cheaper countries and enjoy regional discounts. For instance, in November 2024, the Xbox Game Pass cost about $7 monthly in Turkey but almost $17 in the US.
Travel safety
Connecting to a VPN allows you to safely use public Wi-Fi networks in hotels, airports, and cafés while maintaining data privacy. A wide range of Blanc VPN server locations will enable you to travel safely worldwide, as our servers are available on all inhabited continents.
We continue to work on expanding our network and improving our service. New users can join BlancVPN for 58% off annual subscriptions and enjoy using the Internet freely and securely anywhere in the world.
