Japan streaming compatibility
Tested against the platforms Japanese viewers actually watch
NHK Plus and U-NEXT use detection systems distinct from international platforms, so our Tokyo servers are checked against them directly rather than assumed to work automatically. AlongsideNetflix's Japanese library, we regularly re-verify compatibility with Abema, since these platforms can update their blocking rules without notice. Streaming-tagged servers in the directory above are the ones we re-test first after any known change.
Privacy under Japanese law
Why our Japan servers still keep no logs
Japan's privacy framework, the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, is generally less aggressive on data retention than some Western jurisdictions, but our ownno-logs policyapplies uniformly regardless of local requirements. APEX VPN's Japanese servers store no connection logs, browsing history, or activity timestamps, confirmed through independentSecurity Auditsrather than left as an unverified claim. Pairing a Japanese server with ourencryption standardskeeps traffic private end to end.
