Servers in country
Providers with exit locations in Myanmar: 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.
Myanmar’s Cybersecurity Law (State Administration Council Law No. 1/2025) requires anyone providing VPN services to hold the Ministry’s permission, obliges digital platform service providers to keep user data for three years and hand it over on a written request, and was brought into force on 30 July 2025.
The Cybersecurity Law (State Administration Council Law No. 1/2025, in force 30 July 2025 by Notification 113/2025) obliges a digital platform service provider to retain a user’s personal information, usage records and Department-specified data for three years (s. 33), and to provide them on the written request of a person or body authorised under a law in force (s. 34).
Anyone establishing or providing a VPN service in the national cyberspace must obtain the Ministry’s permission (s. 44). A digital platform service is one that lets users display, transmit, distribute or use information online (s. 4). Whether a VPN operator is a digital platform service provider under sections 33 and 34 is not established.
With the Union Government’s consent, the Ministry may temporarily suspend digital platform services or electronic information in the public interest (s. 43). A digital platform service provider must identify, and prevent, remove or suspend, information that incites hatred, disrupts unity or peace and order, is false news or rumour, or is unsuitable for public viewing (ss. 31–32). Non-compliance can bring a warning, fine, suspension or revocation of registration (s. 52).
Electronically distributing or sending information not suitable for public viewing carries one to six months’ imprisonment, a fine of MMK 1 million to 10 million, or both (s. 72). Setting up or providing a VPN without the Ministry’s permission carries the same range, with the evidence confiscated, and a fine of at least MMK 10 million for a company or organisation (s. 70).
The Law names no separate procedure for identifying the user behind a post; the data duty of sections 33 and 34 is the mechanism it provides.
The Law was enacted by the State Administration Council. Its disclosure duty needs no court order: a written request from a person or body authorised under a law in force is enough (s. 34). Appeals go to the Ministry and then to the Central Committee, whose decision is final and conclusive (ss. 54–59). The order of the rows is the security score, and a server’s location is not a recommendation.
Myanmar (Burma)
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.
