Servers in country

VPNs with servers in the United States

Providers with exit locations in the United States: 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 the United States is a different question, with a page of its own.

The HushFleet teamRegister of 21 October 2026

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.

Investigators in the United States can have a provider preserve its records for 90 days on a bare request. Section 702 of FISA, the authority to direct communications providers to assist foreign-intelligence collection, lapsed on its statutory date of 12 June 2026, with earlier orders continuing until they expire; a 2024 amendment had widened which providers it reaches.

Under 18 U.S.C. § 2703(f), on a government request a provider must preserve records and other evidence in its possession pending a court order or other process; the period is 90 days, extendable by 90 more. A provider that learns of apparent child sexual exploitation offences must report them to the NCMEC CyberTipline (§ 2258A), and a report counts as a request to preserve the contents for one year.

What the law requires of a provider standing here

Records then reach investigators by a ladder in § 2703: a warrant for stored content; a subpoena for basic subscriber data, including session times and network address; a court order on “specific and articulable facts” for other records. A national security letter (18 U.S.C. § 2709) lets the FBI request a person’s name, address, length of service and toll billing records from a provider, with a possible bar on disclosing it.

FISA section 702 lapsed with title VII on 12 June 2026 (Pub. L. 119–87); as of 30 October 2026 no later public law had moved that date. Earlier orders continue until they expire (§ 404(b), Pub. L. 110–261). RISAA (2024) widened “electronic communication service provider” to any provider with access to equipment used to transmit or store communications. Whether that, or CALEA’s duties for carriers, reaches a VPN operator is not established.

What is restricted

The Take It Down Act (Pub. L. 119–12, 19 May 2025) requires a covered platform to remove nonconsensual intimate imagery within 48 hours of a valid request; the Federal Trade Commission enforces it. In Free Speech Coalition v Paxton (27 June 2025, 6–3) the Supreme Court upheld Texas H.B. 1181, which requires age verification on commercial sites where over one-third of content is sexual material harmful to minors.

The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (Pub. L. 118–50, div. H) makes it unlawful to provide services that distribute, maintain or update a foreign adversary controlled application absent a qualified divestiture. The Supreme Court upheld it against a First Amendment challenge in TikTok Inc. v Garland on 17 January 2025.

Whether posting can be prosecuted

18 U.S.C. § 875(c) punishes transmitting in interstate or foreign commerce a communication containing a threat to kidnap or injure another person, with up to five years’ imprisonment. In Counterman v Colorado (27 June 2023) the Supreme Court held the First Amendment requires proof that the speaker consciously disregarded a substantial risk that the communication would be viewed as threatening violence.

An account is identified through the § 2703 ladder: a subpoena yields the subscriber’s name, address, session times and network address, while content needs a warrant. For location, Carpenter v United States (22 June 2018, 5–4) held that historical cell-site records are a search and that a warrant is generally required, so a § 2703(d) order is not enough.

United States

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.
