What Makes for a Good VPN server

[De Facto Pantalones 13]

General question, what makes for a good proxy server?  Best speeds, et?  I've noticed Air's higher load capacity proxies are typically slower, why?  When using AirVPN, my best speeds are often found with lowest latency #, and lower load capacity (2000), why?  Perhaps "YMMV" regarding my observations above?

Any riffing/feedback on factors for which, "what makes for a good proxy?", are welcomed. 
Thanks in advance    DfP

*crickets* ?  Huh.  Guess everyone's on Reddit anymore (too bad Cloudflare blocks anon browsing on Reddit when connected via most Air, or any? VPN servers).    I'm curious why some longtime VPN servers skate through Cloudflare blocking, vs. others which are flagged? 

Seems like no rhyme nor reason, but f*ck if I know.  All I do know is I'm throwing some $$ behind that company's stock... I loathe their service(s), yet respect them.  Throw a little wampum behind some "NET" stock (thank me later).

For me, it's usually a balance of ping and speed, but general stability as well, because I play games from time to time. So, I prefer Estonian server, or Norwegian servers when they are not loaded more than 75%.

These locations have the least ping and good speed delivery for my location.
(Latvia has even lower ping, but I seem to lag from time to time when I'm playing a shooter, so I don't usually use them, and Swedish servers don't seem to fit my needs)

^agree with you there @AG999.  Thanks for reply.  I've read some other threads here and realize server hardware is a factor (I hadn't thought about).  A country's broadband infrastructure would probably factor. Does South Korea sell server space?  

I'll add that I'm having nice results with Air's Netherlands servers (which Id forgotten about -until this recent update to Eddie 2.24.6).
