OVPN has opened its first data center in Italy: Milan. We hope that it'll provide our customers located in Italy better speeds and unlocked streaming content.
As always, the VPN server in Milan 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.
Accessing the VPN server in Milan, Italy
There are a couple of different ways to connect to the VPN server in Milan as the VPN server supports both OpenVPN and WireGuard®.
