Servers in country
Providers with exit locations in Suriname: 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.
Suriname’s computer-crime offences sit in its Criminal Code: hacking, tapping and interference with data. Since February 2020 the Code also penalises offering internet services without establishing who uses them, and the Telecommunications Act of 2004 requires telecommunication concession holders to keep their signals tappable and to assist an interception order. The Code’s tapping offence does not apply to interception for criminal procedure or in connection with state security.
The Criminal Code (Wetboek van Strafrecht) defines tapping as recording, with a technical aid, non-public communication that uses the services of a communication-service provider (art. 109d).
Article 504, in the text given by the Act of 18 February 2020 (S.B. 2020 no. 42), penalises offering internet services without establishing the identity of the person using them: a fine of the second category or, where offences are also committed through the service, up to a year’s detention, a fine of the third category, or both.
The Telecommunications Act of 2004 (Wet Telecommunicatievoorzieningen, S.B. 2004 no. 151) requires each concession holder to keep the signals on its infrastructure tappable (art. 33) and to assist a special order to tap or record, supplying the information needed (art. 34); article 103 extends this to providers of public telecommunication services. Whether any of this reaches a VPN operator is not established.
Article 293 of the Criminal Code punishes distributing, displaying, producing, importing, possessing, acquiring or gaining access through a computer system to an image of sexual conduct involving a person who is, or appears to be, under eighteen: up to eight years’ imprisonment and a fine of the fifth category, and up to ten years where it is a profession or habit.
Since 2020 a person who is sent such images, tells the police without delay and destroys or removes them is not liable (art. 293(3)).
Hacking (art. 187b) carries up to a year, or four where the offender then copies, taps or records data. Hindering use of a system by sending it data (art. 187c) carries up to a year, and since 2020 up to five where serious damage results or vital infrastructure is hit. Tapping data not meant for the offender (art. 187f) and unlawfully altering or deleting data (art. 414a) carry up to two years.
The Act of 18 February 2020 added offences committed online: proposing a meeting with a person under sixteen to commit indecent acts (art. 292a, up to four years), unlawfully distributing images of a person’s sexual conduct (art. 307, up to four years) and shocking images of accidents or violence (art. 307a, up to six months). It also raised article 321(1), which its memorandum describes as defamation, from three to four years.
A person reported to the police for these offences must, on first demand, hand over or show the means used (arts. 187c(4), 292a(3), 307(3), 307a(3)). Article 504 requires internet-service providers to establish who their users are.
Article 187f(2) takes tapping or recording “for criminal procedure or in connection with state security” out of the offence and names no court or oversight body. Under article 32 of the Telecommunications Act, tapping on a special order is allowed when the order comes from the President, in the interest of national security, or from the Procureur-Generaal at the Court of Justice, in investigating and prosecuting offences.
The order of the rows is the security score, and a server’s location is not a recommendation.
Suriname
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.
