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 Netherlands 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 the Netherlands: Legal. VPNs are legal.
