What is a VPN server location?
A "location" is a geographic endpoint you connect to, for example, a country or city region like "London" or "Tokyo." Behind each location there can be multiple servers handling connections.
Shieldeum uses load balancing so your connection is distributed across available servers within the location you choose. This helps maintain consistent performance even during peak usage.
The result: you pick a location, and Shieldeum handles the rest, selecting the best available server behind the scenes.
