- WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2 protocols — all open standards
- No proprietary or hidden encryption methods
Zero Logs
Strict no-logs policy
We have a strict no-logs policy that has been verified in court. When Swiss authorities asked us for user data, we had nothing to provide — because we don't collect it.
- No session logs, no usage logs, no connection timestamps
- No traffic monitoring or DNS logging
- Court-proven: we cannot provide what we don't have
- Verified by independent audit firms
