no hate to OOP, do not harrass them, but it was a bit weird to post literally made up data like it was truth lolol
other cool things:
Countries where VPNs are illegal or restricted.
Countries with the Highest VPN Adoption Rate
Egypt should be on the restricted list. Many VPN providers don’t work and they blocked OpenVPN so you can’t even get a vps and make your own (you probably can with other protocols but i haven’t looked too much into that).
I’d be curious about data by US state, especially in 6 months - 1 year with all of the recent… regressive changes.
agree, unfortunately couldn’t find such data as i think it’s a bit too soon.
i wonder why indonesia india and malaysia are the countries using vpns more
Having lived in two of those three countries, a lot of the internet is randomly censored. Browsing in Malaysia I’d sometimes get some kind of government page popping up with no idea why the site I was trying to visit was blocked (blocked porn sites are a given in both Malaysia and Indonesia but honestly, just random sites kept showing up blocked). Indonesia blocked tumblr for a good long while, and I’m pretty sure Reddit still is. Plus in Indonesia, I really don’t trust ISPs to keep my data safe, intrusive ads are everywhere to the point I’ve blocked SMSs from any number I don’t know because the moment I got an Indonesian SIM my phone started blowing up with ads.
I know for India it’s ‘Censorship’
