(1) Netherlands datacenter delivers French IP addresses.
Here is the table of country codes.
WARNING: Cheapest instances could not be available in all zones.
The ones that could have been in the list ... but were rejected.
AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
Obviously, they are the market leaders, but their IP traffic is really too expensive to host a VPN.
OVH
Really, as I (the owner of the project) am French, I was tempted to use french providers (with of course a large choice of countries to host the VPS). OVH is well known, but after one day trying to configure it with outdated documentation, I gave up.
I also discovered later that some of the IP allocated to server in foreign countries are French (I had the case in WAW1 zone).
