Servers in country
Providers with exit locations in Gabon: 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.
Only a few providers publish an exit here.
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.
Gabon’s Ordinance No. 0011/PR/2026 requires every user of a social network or online platform reachable in Gabon to identify themselves by name, address and telephone number, and its cybersecurity law of 2023 requires network operators to keep connection and traffic data for ten years on national territory.
Law No. 027/2023 on cybersecurity and the fight against cybercrime obliges network operators and electronic communications providers to keep connection and traffic data for ten years on national territory and send the authority a record of destruction at the end (art. 20). Information-system operators keep it for ten years (art. 31), content providers keep content for ten years (art. 43), and operators must host a copy of their data in Gabon (art. 36).
Cryptographic service providers must give judicial police, on requisition, the conventions for decrypting data (art. 87). Ordinance No. 0011/PR/2026 applies to users, publishers and hosts of social networks and platforms reachable in Gabon (art. 2); a host keeps the data identifying the publisher and reports illicit activity it knows of (arts. 29–30). Whether either text reaches a VPN operator is not established.
The ordinance bars children under sixteen from creating accounts (art. 17) and keeps pornographic content from those under eighteen (art. 19). Where viral content causes manifestly serious disturbance, the urgent-applications judge may authorise graduated technical measures: slowing traffic in identified areas, restricting specific functions, or suspending access to a platform, for at most seventy-two hours (art. 44). The judge may also order temporary suspension of an account or content, and targeted de-referencing (art. 42).
Under the ordinance, every user must identify themselves with name, address and telephone number and, where applicable, the personal identification number (art. 4). Anyone who took part in producing, circulating or sharing illicit content is responsible for the damage (art. 7); amplifying it makes a user jointly liable with the author (art. 8), and a page administrator answers for illicit content in the group (art. 11).
Penal Code offences committed through platforms follow ordinary liability (art. 49). Law 027/2023 punishes racist or xenophobic electronic content with five to ten years (art. 70), and threats or insults by electronic means aimed at a person for membership of a group, race, religion or origin with up to ten years (art. 71).
Law 027/2023 forbids anyone to listen to, intercept or store communications and traffic data without the users’ consent unless legally authorised (art. 38), binds operators’ staff to professional secrecy (art. 46) and punishes fraudulent interception of computer data in transmission with up to ten years (art. 53). Searches and seizures follow the texts in force (art. 83). The order of the rows is the security score, and a server’s location is not a recommendation.
Gabon
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.
