Curious to see what the VPN server locations people generally choose and why?

My philosophy is to just use home country as much as possible to get the fastest speeds… Only time I go to other countries is to get streaming content that is only available in respective country
Closest one for lower latency. However, the closest location happens to be in a major metro area and is banned by many financial organizations that I use, so usually I connect to the next closest.
I try to always use servers in the European Union or in Switzerland. I avoid the US, UK, Canada and Australia as well as obviously Russia, China, Belarus, Ukraine, etc.
The closest country with the friendliest law of what I’m currently trying to do

fastest server, because who wants extra latency?
Nice try, NSA
The NSA already knows which VPN you use.
Good point
For most users same country is enough. Higher targets may want another country. If you are really worried, take a country that has no data sharing / police enforcement contracts.
In the EU I guess the Brexit nation is quite nice.
I would choose any country outside the 5, 9 and 14 eyes if you don’t care as much about speeds.
Usually with 1-2 country closest to mine in general and when gaming. With the country where what I’m trying to watch is available when I’m streaming.
Closest to where I live because ping
Albania, Because I can
Haha, same
Romania cus they don’t care
I pick a different one every time. Keep em guessing
