GUIDE
VPN Server Location Explained
This guide explains VPN server locations in plain language. It is written to help you make an informed connection choice rather than to promise a one-size-fits-all result.
Key points
- A nearer location often has lower latency.
- The exit location determines the public IP visible to websites.
- Network quality can matter more than geographic distance.
What to do next
Choose the option that matches your device and network, then verify the connection with the What is my IP? tool. For available connection methods, see Pow VPN downloads and setup options. You can compare plans and locations on the pricing page.
Keep the basics in mind
A VPN protects the route between your device and a VPN server. It does not replace software updates, strong passwords, careful account use or the rules that apply where you are. Test a connection on the network where you will actually use it.
