VPNs with servers in Uruguay

Providers with exit locations in Uruguay: 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.

Uruguay blocks unlicensed online gambling by an order that the telecommunications regulator passes to every licensed operator, who must act within 48 hours. Its intelligence system is overseen by a bicameral parliamentary commission with members from every party in Parliament, and its data-protection law binds telecommunications operators.

Art. 20 of Law 18,331 (2008) requires operators of public networks and providers of publicly available electronic communications services to protect personal data in their activity. Art. 75 of Law 19,149 (2013) requires mobile telephony operators to keep an up-to-date database of prepaid and postpaid customers under Law 18,331; the regulator, URSEC, may sanction non-compliance.

What the law requires of a provider standing here

A 2015 report prepared for the Electronic Frontier Foundation found no specific rule requiring telephone and internet operators to retain the population’s data for a set period. Whether a VPN operator is an operator under these provisions is not established.

What is restricted

Arts. 244 and 245 of Law 19,535 (2017) declare online gambling without prior authorisation unlawful and let the Executive block access to sites, cut financial flows and ban advertising. Decree 366/017 makes the national lotteries directorate the competent body. After an investigation it orders a domain or URL blocked; URSEC passes the order to all licensed operators within 48 hours and they must block within a further 48 hours (arts. 3–4).

In grave cases a preventive block may last up to a year (art. 7).

Whether posting can be prosecuted

Defamation (Penal Code art. 333) carries four months’ prison to three years’ penitentiary, or a fine of 80 to 800 U.R.; insult (art. 334) three to eighteen months or 60 to 400 U.R., with a heavier sentence where the writing is publicly circulated (art. 335).

Art. 336 exempts statements on matters of public interest, unless real malice is proved. Art. 149 bis punishes public incitement to hatred, contempt or violence on grounds of skin colour, race, religion, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation or identity, with three to eighteen months’ prison.

What it means for the rows below

Law 19,696 (2018) denies intelligence bodies coercive powers and bars repressive tasks, criminal investigation outside their legal remit or a court request in a specific case, influence over public opinion or the media, and disclosure of information save as the law or a court provides (art. 7). Art. 25 creates a bicameral parliamentary commission, with legislators of every party represented in Parliament, to supervise the system; art. 26 extends this to all its bodies’ activities.

Art. 6 binds the system to the constitutional rights and requires the Executive to give anyone an effective remedy against it. The order of the rows is the security score, and a server’s location is not a recommendation.

Uruguay

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.
