VPNs with servers in Hong Kong

Providers with exit locations in Hong Kong: 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.

Which companies are registered in Hong Kong is a different question, with a page of its own.

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.

Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of China with its own statute book, runs two regimes: under its ordinance interception needs a panel judge’s authorisation, while under the national security rules, in force since 2020 and amended in March 2026, interception is approved by the Chief Executive and a service provider can be required to supply an identification record.

Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China under its Basic Law. Its own Interception of Communications and Surveillance Ordinance (Cap. 589) allows its law-enforcement agencies to intercept only under a prescribed authorisation; for interception that is a panel judge. The Customs and Excise Department, the Police and the Independent Commission Against Corruption may intercept; the Immigration Department may not. A Commissioner oversees compliance and reports each year.

What the law requires of a provider standing here

Under the Implementation Rules for Article 43 of the National Security Law, in force since 7 July 2020, police may require a publisher or the relevant service provider to delete information or give assistance. Schedule 4 makes it an offence for a service provider to fail to provide an identification record or decryption assistance (section 12(1)). Amendment rules in operation since 23 March 2026 add a requirement to decrypt seized electronic equipment.

Under the Telecommunications (Registration of SIM Cards) Regulation, in effect from 1 September 2021, a specified licensee must keep the record of a SIM card while it is registered and for one year after it is deregistered (section 11). Whether a VPN operator is a “service provider” under Schedule 4 or a licensee under that regulation is not established.

What is restricted

Under Schedule 4 to the Implementation Rules, as amended, a designated officer may require the publisher, a platform service provider, a hosting service provider or a network service provider to remove an electronic message from the platform or to take disabling action on it before a deadline the officer sets.

Whether posting can be prosecuted

The Safeguarding National Security Ordinance creates offences in connection with seditious intention; the Hong Kong Police Force gave their maximum penalty as seven years’ imprisonment in a statement of 28 May 2024.

What it means for the rows below

According to the Commissioner’s annual report for 2023, submitted on 27 June 2024, all 1,111 applications for interception and 46 for covert surveillance were granted. The report records four cases of irregularity or incident. Under the national security rules interception is approved by the Chief Executive, and the Committee for Safeguarding National Security supervises the measures.

The order of the rows is the security score, and a server’s location is not a recommendation.

Hong Kong SAR China

Ranked by security

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.
