210 countries, IP Shuffle, and the widest server reach — HMA tested on Windows PC.
HMA (Hide My Ass) connects to 320+ server locations across 210 countries — the widest geographic reach of any VPN on our list. IP Shuffle rotates your IP automatically. Owned by Avast (Czech Republic).
HMA achieved 69.5 Mbps on WireGuard in our July 2026 benchmark — the widest geographic spread on our list correlates with more routing hops and higher speed overhead compared to providers with more concentrated infrastructure.
| Location | Download | Upload | Ping |
|---|---|---|---|
| UK London (HQ region) | 69.5 Mbps | 65.8 Mbps | 24ms |
| Netherlands | 67.2 Mbps | 63.5 Mbps | 18ms |
| US East | 63.8 Mbps | 60.1 Mbps | 107ms |
| Singapore | 58.4 Mbps | 54.7 Mbps | 172ms |
HMA's 210-country coverage is unmatched on our list — useful for accessing content in obscure regions that other VPNs don't cover. IP Shuffle is a distinctive feature that changes your IP address automatically at intervals you choose (every hour, every 10 minutes, or randomly). This adds a layer of tracking resistance beyond basic VPN connection.
HMA VPN is owned by Avast, which in turn is part of Gen Digital (the merged NortonLifeLock/Avast entity). Gen Digital is a large US-listed public company. The no-logs policy applies, but the corporate ownership structure means legal orders from US or UK courts could compel cooperation. For users who prioritise privacy over convenience, this is a relevant consideration.
