Balance sources explicitly
Balanced global first computes each source independently, then gives each ready regional source equal weight. Regional source views remain separate and source-specific.
A FAIRER WAY TO COMPARE
Compare VPNs under the same conditions
A quick speed headline rarely tells the full story. Choose two setups, keep the test source consistent and look at exit locations both setups can actually reach.

FAIR VPN COMPARISONS
We compare VPNs from the same test source and only use exit locations that both sides have in common. Results from different test machines or unrelated routes are not mixed together.
✓ Same test source
✓ Same exit locations
✓ Quality-checked tests
✓ Each exit counts equally

HOW WE KEEP IT FAIR
What we require before calling a winner
Compare the same exit locations
An exit location is used only when both VPNs have enough data for it.
Use quality-checked results
A test has to pass our quality checks before it can affect the comparison.
Give every exit equal weight
One exit cannot dominate the result just because it was tested more often.
