NordVPN claims to operate under Panama jurisdiction (but is otherwise still based in Europe).

The specific reason why they want to operate under Panama law is that there's no mandatory data retention.

So it seems misguided to claim that purely-EU-based alternatives to NordVPN are 'safer' and 'more private' than Nord due to the location alone.



Their parent company, Nord Security, is based in the Netherlands.


And parent of that, Tesonet Global, is based in Lithuania


Yes, either you consider them based in EU (because they are) – then why are they on this list?

Or you consider them to be EU-Panama which to try to protect user privacy – then why are they on this list?
