Server expansion: San Francisco 🇺🇸
Expanding our network in the Bay Area
The story of our San Francisco server location is an interesting one. Back in 2022, we launched a new VPN location in Los Angeles, California, deploying two servers. This marked our 20th location worldwide, increasing the total number of available VPN servers from 63 to 65.
Initially, we rented space in a closed rack at the Digital Realty LAX facility, using the network upstream of Hivelocity Inc. – the same provider set to connect our servers in Dallas and Seattle. However, due to issues with this location, we later decided to move these servers to San Francisco instead.
In March 2024, we upgraded the relocated servers to 10G, significantly boosting their speed and capacity. Now, in 2025, we have further expanded the San Francisco location by adding four additional 10G servers, bringing the total number of servers at this location to six.
Today, we maintain both San Francisco and Los Angeles as separate VPN locations, giving users additional options for fast and secure connections on the West Coast. The ISP for our San Francisco location is Ryamer, LLC.
Why San Francisco?
San Francisco is an iconic global tech hub, home to Silicon Valley and some of the world's largest technology companies. Its strategic location and excellent network infrastructure make it an ideal location for VPN expansion, ensuring fast, low-latency connections for users across North America and beyond.
The city’s connectivity strength, along with its position as a major internet exchange point, ensures that AzireVPN users get optimal speeds and performance while maintaining the highest privacy standards.
Hardware Specifications
Four additional servers were installed in this location, and as with all AzireVPN infrastructure, our San Francisco servers are built with cutting-edge technology to ensure speed, security, and reliability:
- CPU: 2 x E5-2697-V4
- Memory: 64 GB DDR4-2400
- Network: 10GE Ethernet
All of the new servers run without persistent storage, are booted via PXE, and are maintained remotely – just like the original servers. The San Francisco location fully supports WireGuard VPN tunnels with shared IP addresses. The additional servers have been available on our app since February 16, 2025.
For users who prefer manual setup, configuration files can be generated using our WireGuard configuration generator.
We’re excited to offer increased capacity and improved performance in San Francisco! Whether you're looking for a fast and secure connection on the West Coast or simply want more options, this expansion strengthens our global network.
