Sign up for one of the best VPNs around and you'll be promised access to a network of servers spread all around the world—but how do you check your true VPN location? Most providers will try to sell themselves on the size of that network, too—for example, Private Internet Access offers locations in 91 countries, IPVanish claims 60, and HideMyAss boasts more than 210.
There can be real benefits to these larger networks. The more locations available, the greater the chance that you'll be able to unblock websites in those countries. You'll be more likely to find a server near you, perhaps improving performance. And even if your nearest server is overloaded, there are likely to be other alternatives nearby.
