Selecting Your Node Region

Selecting Your Node Region

EcoVPN’s tunnel infrastructure spans multiple regions, each governed by specific jurisdiction flags, latency performance, and referral Tier rules. Choosing the right node isn't just about speed, it's about legal signal discipline and infrastructure integrity.

Available Regions

  • UK Privacy Nodes: Low latency for Europe, strong legal non-disclosure precedent
  • EU Jurisdiction: GDPR-aligned routing, ideal for business and compliance users
  • North America: Broad coverage, higher latency, surveillance exposure varies by tunnel type
  • Asia Pacific (APAC): Fast for Australia/NZ, limited legal shielding - use Dual-Zone if mission-critical

Continental Deployment Capacity

EcoVPN infrastructure spans six continents, enabling encrypted tunnel provisioning in sponsor-approved regions beyond the core published zones.

  • Europe: UK, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland
  • North America: US, Canada, Mexico
  • Asia: Japan, Singapore, South Korea, India
  • Oceania: Australia, New Zealand
  • South America: Brazil, Argentina, Panama
  • Africa: South Africa (Tier 3 fallback only)

While some countries are spotlighted for their stable jurisdictional trust scores, extended regions are available under referral-controlled access.

Tier Control

  • Tier 1 users are auto-assigned to region closest to originating signal
  • Tier 2 users can select preferred region during config issuance
  • Tier 3 users may deploy fallback nodes and override jurisdiction manually

Latency Tips

  • APAC → UK: ~230ms average
  • North America → EU: ~90ms average
  • Within region: ~25ms average
  • Latency may spike during filter updates or tunnel revalidation - wait 5-10 min

Choosing Your Node Wisely

  • Close physical proximity improves performance, but legal exposure matters more
  • If you're accessing restricted or sensitive platforms, use UK or EU zones
  • Business users deploying work VPNs should select a stable jurisdictional node

“Node selection isn't a dropdown - it's a trust decision. Your tunnel starts where your integrity begins.”
