IPinfo’s competing service claims that there is value in repeating a location that has already been claimed.

I am not sure what to even say here. Good, I think? The larger IP geolocation industry does not share our belief and product philosophy around data accuracy and transparency. Moreover, we clearly mentioned the intent of the article is about reviewing the nature of the virtual servers, but they failed to recognize that and claimed it was misleading.

There was absolutely no collaboration between the VPN industry and our report.

We provide IP geolocation and VPN detection service. To the broader VPN industry, we operate as a critical force. There was no permission sought out or an approval process. It was carefully written to be an objective review of the VPN industry based on data.

Windscribe gave us a shoutout on their social media. I found the bit about affiliate link funny.

WonderProxy’s co-founder shared their feedback, but as they are not a traditional commercial VPN service, we were not able to review their service in the report.

But I have not heard anything from the rest of the industry yet.
