VPN Access

Nomadino VPN-access restriction risk index on a 0-100 scale. Lower is better. The raw value combines legal VPN status and enforcement, technical reachability of VPN and circumvention tools, practical usability, shutdown and censorship context, and user-risk or repression context. Score equals 100 minus raw value.

How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino risk index for restricted VPN access from 0 to 100 risk points. 0 means freely usable VPNs and circumvention tools without relevant legal or technical restrictions, while 100 means extreme restriction, practical blocking or almost no free access.

The calculation combines five components: 30% legal status and enforcement, 30% technical reachability of VPNs, Tor, Snowflake, Psiphon, RiseupVPN and similar circumvention tools, 15% practical usability, 15% shutdown and censorship context, and 10% user-risk and repression context.

The public source families are Freedom House Freedom on the Net, OONI Explorer and OONI Probe tests, Tor Metrics, Access Now KeepItOn/STOP, Digital Society Project and V-Dem. Nomadino harmonises these signals with maintained indicators for internet censorship, internet freedom, state surveillance, rule of law, democracy, political stability, political violence and active conflicts.

Technical measurements are not scored by raw test volume. Relevant signals are repeated or confirmed blocking patterns, affected tools, network coverage, persistence over time and agreement with country reports. Tor and bridge anomalies are treated as evidence of circumvention pressure or blocking, not as standalone score sources.

Minimum risk values apply to de-facto bans, approved or registration-only VPN regimes, criminal-law risk, systematic blocking of Tor or VPN services, deep-packet-inspection filters, frequent shutdowns or acute repression contexts. They prevent missing measurement coverage from understating real-world usability risk.

The score is derived directly from the raw value: score = 100 minus raw value. A lower raw value therefore improves the ranking.
