Servers in country
Providers with exit locations in Brazil: a server here gives you an address in the country. The register’s table records no mandate for VPN operators here; the briefing below sets out what the law asks of providers.
Providers with exit locations in a country — a fact about a network, kept deliberately apart from where the company is registered. Only providers whose country list has a source appear: a provider that publishes nothing simply does not show up, which is a criterion already in the data rather than an editorial one.
Brazil is where, in August 2024, a Supreme Federal Court justice ordered the social network X blocked and set a daily fine of 50,000 reais on people who reached it through a VPN; the block ended on 8 October 2024. Its Marco Civil da Internet sets log-keeping periods of one year for connection and six months for application providers.
Under article 13 of the Marco Civil da Internet (Law 12.965/2014), in providing internet connection the administrator of the relevant autonomous system must keep connection records, in secrecy and in a controlled, secure environment, for one year; the duty cannot be passed to third parties. Police, administrative authorities or the Public Prosecutor may ask, as a precaution, that records be kept longer, and the requester has 60 days to apply for a court order.
An internet application provider constituted as a legal entity and carrying on that activity in an organised, professional way for economic ends must keep access records, in secrecy, for six months (article 15). Under article 10, records are disclosed only on a court order, and so is the content of private communications.
The statute does not mention VPNs. Whether a VPN operator is an autonomous-system administrator or such an application provider is not established.
On 30 August 2024 Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered X suspended in Brazil and set a fine of 50,000 reais a day for users who bypassed the block through VPNs. The same day he suspended a separate order to remove VPN apps from app stores. A five-judge panel of the Supreme Court affirmed the ban on 2 September 2024.
The block was lifted on 8 October 2024, after X paid its fines, appointed a legal representative in Brazil and complied with orders to deactivate accounts. The Brazilian Bar Association said it would ask the Court to review the fine on users.
Yes. Slander, falsely imputing a crime to someone, is punishable by six months to two years’ detention and a fine (Penal Code, article 138). Since March 2019 the Supreme Court has run an inquiry into fake news and threats against its members (inquiry 4781), which its plenary upheld in June 2020 by ten votes to one.
On 26 June 2025 the Court, by eight votes to three, declared article 19 of the Marco Civil partially unconstitutional. Article 19 had made a platform liable for users’ content only after ignoring a specific court order; notice and removal (article 21) became the general rule, and the court-order rule was kept for crimes against honour. Records of who posted are released only on a court order (articles 10 and 15).
The federal police opened Operation Última Milha in October 2023 into whether Brazil’s intelligence agency, ABIN, used the FirstMile tool to track the location of mobile phones without court authorisation between December 2018 and 2021. ABIN said the contract ended in May 2021.
The order of the rows is the security score, and a server’s location is not a recommendation.
Brazil
Only a provider that publishes a country list appears here at all — 41 of the 77 on file. The other 27 are not missing research: they publish no list, and U02_server_countries is unknown for them rather than filled from the number their marketing claims.
A provider that says “100+ countries” and enumerates none gets no page on any of them, and the count printed on its own record is the length of the list, never the claim. With 41 providers behind 180 countries, the long tail of these pages carries one or two rows.

Every row is the record’s own history[], filtered to U02_server_countries and P04_mandate_response; the whole log holds every field.
