Encryption & Protocols

What actually protects your traffic in transit

AES-256-GCM Encryption

All tunnelled traffic is encrypted with AES-256-GCM, with Perfect Forward Secrecy for session keys.

IKEv2/IPsec

Built into virtually every OS - connect with your device's native VPN client, no app install required.

VLESS (Xray-core)

A modern, low-overhead protocol built for restrictive networks, secured over TLS.

Regularly Patched

Node software is kept current with security updates as they're released.

Full technical detail is available in our Security & Privacy help article.

Infrastructure Isolation

Every customer gets their own dedicated node - never shared, never multi-tenant

Your Own Dedicated Node

Each customer gets an isolated VPN node - no shared processes with any other customer.

Single-Tenant by Design

No shared routing between tenants - traffic paths never cross customer boundaries.

Per-Customer Cloud Resources

Every deployment gets its own resource group and virtual machine in Azure, not a shared multi-tenant box.

Instant Access Revocation

Admins can revoke a user's access immediately from the dashboard - no waiting on a support ticket.

See how this is built in our Dedicated VPN Infrastructure overview.

Data Handling

What we don't log, and what limited data we do retain

No Activity Logs

We never log the websites you visit, your DNS queries, or your traffic content.

Defined Retention Periods

Limited connection/security metadata (e.g. IP address, login times) is retained for a fixed period for account security and abuse prevention, not indefinitely.

Full Detail in Our Privacy Policy

Exactly what's collected and for how long is documented - no vague promises.

Full retention periods are set out in our Privacy Policy.
