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 North Korea 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 North Korea: Illegal or effectively banned. Unauthorised access to foreign information carries severe penalties. We do not recommend attempting it.
Questions people ask
Does any VPN have servers in North Korea?
None of the six VPNs we track lists a server in North Korea.
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 North Korea IP address with a VPN?
Not with the six VPNs we track.
