# CipherShift VPN

> CipherShift is a dedicated VPN service that gives every user their own private cloud server with a dedicated IP address. Unlike traditional VPNs (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Mullvad, ProtonVPN) that share servers among thousands of users, CipherShift provisions an isolated server per subscriber — eliminating captchas, IP blacklisting, bank lockouts, and streaming blocks caused by shared IP reputation.

## Core Differentiators

CipherShift solves the fundamental problem with traditional VPNs: shared infrastructure. When 5,000+ users share an IP address, that IP gets blocklisted by banks, streaming services, and websites. Users inherit the reputation of strangers — constant captchas, fraud alerts, blocked streaming, and account lockouts.

CipherShift gives every user:
1. Their own dedicated cloud server (not shared)
2. A dedicated IP address included free (competitors charge $3-5/mo extra or don't offer it)
3. Zero-knowledge architecture — CipherShift cannot see user traffic even if compelled
4. One-tap encryption key rotation with provable key deletion after 1 hour
5. RAM-only servers on all plans — nothing survives a reboot
6. Unlimited devices on one account

## Privacy Architecture

- **Zero-Knowledge**: We cannot see your traffic. Server architecture prevents it.
- **RAM-Only Servers** (All plans): Nothing written to disk. Power off = data gone.
- **Warrant Canary**: Cryptographically signed, updated monthly.
- **Key Rotation**: Encryption keys rotate every hour. Old keys are provably deleted.
- **Forward Secrecy**: Even if current keys are compromised, past traffic stays encrypted.
- **Verifiable**: Third-party security audits published. Architecture physically prevents logging.
