ProtonVPN New Asia-Pacific Servers Announcement
Table of Contents
Asia-Pacific user numbers grew significantly over the past year, and peak-hour connection requests caused congestion on existing nodes. To address this, ProtonVPN recently completed a batch of Asia-Pacific server expansion, with new nodes already online and included in automatic load balancing.
Why Expand Asia-Pacific Nodes
With the growth of remote work and cross-border content demand, VPN usage in the Asia-Pacific region has climbed rapidly. Existing nodes approached saturation during evening peak hours, causing slower connections for some users. The expansion decision was based on traffic data analysis, not simple market-following.
Newly Covered Regions
This expansion covers multiple previously low-density Asia-Pacific cities, including larger clusters in Tokyo, Singapore, and Seoul, plus new access points in several second-tier cities. Users now see more nearby nodes in the server list with more flexible choices.
Actual Performance Data
After the expansion went live, official monitoring showed average connection latency in the Asia-Pacific region dropped about 18%, with evening peak packet loss falling in tandem. The data below comes from before/after monitoring.
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Average latency | 82ms | 67ms |
| Peak packet loss | 2.4% | 0.9% |
| Node availability | 97.1% | 99.3% |
| City | Expansion |
|---|---|
| Tokyo | Cluster expanded |
| Singapore | New access points |
| Seoul | Cluster expanded |
A cross-border e-commerce user based in Singapore reported that after the expansion, the connection to Japanese nodes stabilized from previous fluctuations, and evening video conferences no longer stuttered. Such frontline feedback confirms the practical value of the expansion.
"After the Asia-Pacific expansion, peak hours finally stopped lagging — a real improvement for cross-border business." — Singapore user
