- Re-check of the outside research pass, 2026-10-01 (page-reader wording; confirm on the page): Global VPN datasheet is dated 2018 and says 200+ PoPs in 50+ countries; the current Global VPN page says 110+ PoPs and partner networks in 190+ countries and 99.99% uptime. These conflict, so PoPs and availability are left To review. The 99.8% in the earlier pass is a first-time-right deployment rate, not an availability SLA.
