Which countries are part of the 5 Eyes Alliance?

The 5 Eyes Alliance consists of five countries : the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The 5 Eyes Alliance has also collaborated with other countries, such as South Korea, Japan, Israel, Germany, and France — and there’s also a chance that Japan might join the Alliance, effectively turning it into the 6 Eyes Alliance.

What’s the best way to avoid surveillance in 5 Eyes countries?

The best option is to use a VPN , which is an online app that encrypts your internet traffic. This makes it completely unreadable, so internet service providers and intelligence agencies can’t spy on it. VPNs also hide your IP address, effectively keeping your real location hidden. ExpressVPN is the best pick — it’s been proven to not log any data, all of its servers run on RAM memory (so every server reset wipes everything), and it comes with other high-end security features.

What are the 9 and 14 Eyes Alliances?

These are both expansions of the 5 Eyes Alliance. The 9 Eyes Alliance includes all 5 Eyes countries plus Denmark, France, the Netherlands, and Norway. And the 14 Eyes Alliance includes all 9 Eyes countries plus Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden. All 5/9/14 Eyes countries share intelligence data, but there is some data that only 5 Eyes countries have access to.
