I'm midway through my latest batch of reviews of the best VPNs, and this is the time of year we pick up on smaller details that we may have missed. What's not small, though, is Proton VPN's current fleet of servers. Standing at 8,162 servers in 112 countries at the time of writing, it has more than doubled in size in the last few months.
This got me thinking about why the number of servers a VPN operates is presented as so important. Of course, it can be a factor in determining the reliability of its network, but it is by no means the be-all and end-all of how well a VPN performs.
