VPN Results

NordVPN takes a strong first place in our Best VPN for New Zealand list for many reasons. One of the first is that they are based in Panama, which is also a good place to be for VPNs. Aside from that, NordVPN has a sterling reputation and is another VPN provider that has a huge number of servers in many countries.

Surfshark is an excellent choice for New Zealanders due to a couple of reasons. Unlike many VPN service providers, it does place an equal emphasis on servers in the Australasia region rather than a pure US-EU focus. That means you will have more servers closer to your home country to look forward to.

One of the best VPN services Comparity have tested. ExpressVPN has so far been our top pick no matter which country we are ranking it for. It has a massively broad range of server locations and many servers. Even better, it is based out of the British Virgin Islands which is lax in its data retention laws. 

CyberGhost has seen a huge surge in performance over the past year. Speeds have shot through the roof, possibly as a result of the massive number of servers they now have. CyberGhost servers are now in over 90 countries around the world.

One of the most important deciding factors in TorGuard’s placement is that it is a very P2P-friendly VPN service provider. There isn’t a lot of bling on the user-facing side, but it is remarkable in performance.

IPVanish has been in the market awhile and it does have a loyal stream of followers. Unfortunately, while we’ve noted its excellence in some locations, the Australia – New Zealand region doesn’t seem a good place to be for their fans.
