OVPN has opened its first data center in Poland: Warsaw. We hope that it'll provide our customers located in Poland better speeds and unlocked streaming content.
As always, the VPN server in Warsaw is physically owned by us and contains zero hard drives, is completely log free and has the same security features as all of OVPN's data centers.
