VPNs with servers in Laos

Providers with exit locations in Laos: 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.

Article 40 of Laos’s 2015 cybercrime law bars service providers from deleting computer traffic data before ninety days in the case of a connection and before 365 days in the case of none. According to a published legal commentary, a Law on Cybersecurity published on 20 March 2026 requires online service providers to register.

Art. 40 of the Law on Prevention and Combating Cyber Crime (July 2015), prohibits service providers from deleting computer traffic data before ninety days in the case of a connection and before three hundred and sixty-five days in the case of none, and from deleting a user’s data and information that caused damage before ninety days.

What the law requires of a provider standing here

A service provider is a person providing communication data and information through a computer system, or computer data storage (art. 3).

According to a published legal commentary, the Law on Cybersecurity, published in the Official Gazette on 20 March 2026, requires entities that provide services or disseminate information online to register with the MTC, imposes security duties on operators of critical national information infrastructure, and requires immediate reporting of incidents and an annual report each January. It has no provision addressing offshore providers directly. Whether either law reaches a VPN operator is not established.

What is restricted

According to a published legal commentary, the Law on Cybersecurity requires entities that provide services or disseminate information online to register with the MTC.

Whether posting can be prosecuted

According to UNODC’s electronic evidence fiche, art. 20 of the Law on Criminal Procedure lists physical evidence, documentary evidence and evidence from persons.

What it means for the rows below

For cross-border requests, UNODC’s electronic evidence fiche on Laos reports no specific provision on preservation or production by service providers at the request of foreign authorities, with mutual legal assistance and police-to-police cooperation as the channels. The order of the rows is the security score, and a server’s location is not a recommendation.

Laos

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.

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