Why server location matters
Speed: VPN servers closer to you generally deliver faster speeds and lower latency. Connecting to a US server from Europe adds round-trip distance that can increase latency by 80–150ms.
Streaming: To unblock geo-restricted content (Netflix US, BBC iPlayer UK), you need a VPN with reliable servers — and a clean IP that the streaming service hasn't already blocked.
Jurisdiction: The country your VPN exit server is in affects which laws govern your traffic. Swiss and Icelandic servers offer stronger privacy protection than US or UK servers due to data retention laws.
