GOTHENBURG, Sweden,
Feb 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Mullvad has expanded its offering of region-based VPN
connectivity with more server locations in the U.S, Sweden, and Canada.
Just as with the U.S, where users on the East Coast can obtain
faster connections from a server in New
York or Florida rather than
one in California, additional
servers spread out over a large geographical region means better
results for VPN customers.
Mullvad's users in Sweden can
now choose from three locations - Stockholm, Malmö, and Helsingborg - while
Canadian users now have the option of Ontario (Toronto) in the east and British Columbia (Vancouver) in the west. Customers in the
northeastern U.S. can connect to new servers in Buffalo, New York, making it the sixth
regional location in America.
"Offering more localized options to our customers ensures faster
connectivity for them while also retaining the benefits of
accessing the internet in their home country," says Mullvad's CEO
Jan Jonsson. "We will continue to
roll out more region-specific locations as we expand."
With currently 29 server locations in 20 countries
worldwide, Mullvad, which specializes in online privacy, owns and
has physical control over servers at four of them, the three
Swedish locations and Amsterdam.
Internet access is delivered by Tier 1 and Tier 2 Internet
providers and through several peering points. Mullvad also rents
physical dedicated servers, which are not shared with other
clients, from carefully selected providers in all other
countries.
Mullvad worked in close cooperation with data center specialist
31173 Services during the upgrade. "We are pleased to be not
only part of Mullvad's ongoing expansion but also hosting their
Swedish and Dutch servers," says Nemo Ekström, CEO of 31173
Services AB.
