[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 894847, member: 55987"] I refer to VPNs using the abovementioned types of servers Many would argue that the you are not getting the true geolocation of the VPN server when you are using virtual servers.............and that is TRUE! Many would also argue that using virtual servers are insecure. This depends. The below link was done with 8 VPN providers and the results show the use (or not use) of virtual servers [URL unfurl="true"]https://restoreprivacy.com/virtual-server-locations/[/URL] Read through the comments The below links discussed the security of virtual servers [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.zdnet.com/article/virtual-servers-no-safer-than-any-other-kind/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://searchcio.techtarget.com/tip/Virtual-server-management-vs-physical-servers-Whats-the-difference[/URL] In short, virtual servers are as bad as bare-metal physical servers when come to malware attacks.
