The groups
- Five Eyes: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
- Nine Eyes adds Denmark, France, the Netherlands and Norway.
- Fourteen Eyes adds Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden.
Which AnonVPS regions are inside
Of AnonVPS's ten locations, only Amsterdam in the Netherlands is in the Fourteen Eyes. The other nine (Iceland, Switzerland, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Panama, Singapore, Malaysia and the Seychelles) are not.
What it actually means
- These arrangements concern sharing of intelligence between agencies. They are not a legal route to seize a server abroad.
- Court orders and legal assistance treaties are a separate channel and apply to non-members too.
- Traffic still crosses international cables. Your server's country is only one point on the path.
Should it decide your choice?
For most people, no. Latency, price and the legal regime for your data matter more. If it matters for you, treat the location as one layer and add others: encryption, Tor, minimal logging and RAM-only plans.
How it can matter, and when it does not
Intelligence-sharing alliances describe cooperation between agencies. For a hobby site or a private VPN, the practical risk differs little between regions. For a high-risk threat model, membership may be one input among many. It does not decide what a provider logs or how a court order is processed.
