Real vs virtual: what it means for you

A server in the country gives the best speed for local sites and the most reliable local IP. A virtual location still shows sites a Ethiopia IP address, so it works for most local services and prices, but traffic travels to the real server first, and that country's laws apply to the hardware.

Using a VPN inside Ethiopia: Legal. There is no specific VPN ban.

Questions people ask

Does any VPN have servers in Ethiopia?

None of the six VPNs we track lists a server physically in Ethiopia. NordVPN and Proton VPN offer a virtual Ethiopia location: you get an IP address registered to Ethiopia, but the server sits in another country.

What is a virtual server location?

A virtual location gives you an IP address registered to the country you pick, while the server itself runs in a nearby country with better infrastructure. Sites usually see you as being in that country, but speed depends on the real location, and data is handled under that country's laws.

Can I get a Ethiopia IP address with a VPN?

Yes, with NordVPN and Proton VPN.
