Servers in country
Providers with exit locations in Liberia: 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.
Liberia’s Telecommunications Act 2007 gives the Attorney General and the regulator two routes into a provider’s network that need no court, while content interception needs a probable-cause order for up to 90 days. Providers must also keep traffic information to the regulator’s specifications, with no period set.
Section 71 of the Telecommunications Act 2007 requires providers to maintain interception capabilities, to retain traffic information to the specifications of the Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA), and to supply it on an order of a Circuit Court judge. The Act sets no period. Content needs a probable-cause order for up to 90 days; a second needs actual evidence, a third a formal charge; the customer is told after 180 days (s. 71).
Two routes need no court. The Attorney General may direct access to a provider’s network and information for national security or the detection or prevention of illegal activities (s. 69), and the LTA or another authorised authority may direct monitoring of a customer’s telecommunications to trace harassing, offensive or illegal ones (s. 50(3)).
A “service provider” is one licensed or permitted by the LTA to serve the public or operate a network for them (s. 2); whether a VPN operator is one is not established. FrontPage Africa reports that the President has approved a Cybercrime Act.
Section 76 of the Telecommunications Act 2007 prohibits using a telecommunications network or service to disturb, annoy, irritate, offend or harass a person.
Section 76 of the Act also covers dishonest unauthorised access or interception. Fines run to L$100,000 for an individual and L$1 million for a company on a first offence; officers responsible face imprisonment under the Penal Code (s. 77).
The Cybercrime Act 2025 is reported to name unauthorised access, data interference, identity theft and distribution of harmful messages as offences, with interception on a court warrant; critics have said it could restrict speech.
Content interception sits with a Circuit Court judge, with fixed time limits and later notice to the customer. The national-security route in section 69 runs through the Attorney General, and sections 69 to 72 name no oversight body; section 69(3) bars customers from recourse against a provider that complies. The order of the rows is the security score, and a server’s location is not a recommendation.
Liberia
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.
