Security Architecture

Don't Trust Us. Verify.

Our security model is designed so you don't have to trust us. Open protocols, published audits, transparent practices.

Dedicated Server Architecture

Each user gets their own cloud server. No shared infrastructure means no inherited reputation, no IP blacklisting from other users' behavior.

Zero Knowledge Design

We cannot see your traffic. All encryption happens on your device. Your dedicated server processes encrypted traffic, we never see plaintext.

No Logs Infrastructure

We don't log connection timestamps, IP addresses, bandwidth usage, or traffic data. We can't hand over what we don't have.

RAM-Only Servers

All servers run entirely in temporary memory — nothing saved to disk. If anyone seizes the server, a reboot wipes everything. No logs to recover because they never existed.

Signature Feature

CipherShift Key Rotation

Most VPNs generate keys once and use them for months. We rotate keys on a schedule you control, hourly, every 15 minutes, or custom intervals. Old keys are cryptographically destroyed.

How It Works

1

Connection

New session keys generated

2

Rotation

Timer triggers key refresh

3

Destruction

Old keys wiped from memory

4

Continuity

Seamless, no reconnection

Hourly

Standard Rotation

Keys automatically rotate every hour. Old keys are permanently destroyed. Even if current keys were compromised, past traffic remains protected.

15 min

High Security

For sensitive operations. Rotate keys every 15 minutes. Minimizes the window where any single key could be exposed.

Custom

User Configurable

Set your own rotation interval. You decide your security/convenience tradeoff. From 5 minutes to 24 hours.

Pro Feature

Ghost Mode

Using VLESS + REALITY protocol, Ghost Mode makes your traffic indistinguishable from normal HTTPS connections to legitimate websites. Deep packet inspection sees nothing unusual.

Designed for: Hostile network environments where standard VPN protocols are quickly detected and blocked. State-of-the-art censorship resistance.

Protocols & Encryption

Industry-leading protocols, properly implemented.

WireGuard

Use at home or on trusted networks. Fastest protocol available—reconnects instantly, uses minimal battery. Just 4,000 lines of code (vs 400,000 for OpenVPN) means fewer places for bugs.

Default

Shadowsocks

Use when WireGuard gets blocked. Disguises VPN traffic as normal internet use. Gets through basic network filters that try to detect and block VPN connections.

Included

VLESS + REALITY

Use on hostile networks. Ghost Mode makes your connection look like normal HTTPS traffic to real websites. For aggressive censorship environments where other protocols fail.

Infrastructure Security

How we protect your dedicated server.

Multi-Cloud, Multi-Jurisdiction

Servers distributed across multiple independent cloud providers in privacy-respecting jurisdictions. No single point of failure. No single provider has the full picture. As they say in Spies Like Us: "We're not in this together... that's the whole point."

Isolated Instances

Each user's server is a separate VM instance. No shared processes, no shared memory, no risk of cross-contamination.

Locked-Down Management

Our operations team uses SSH key-only access — no passwords. Keys are rotated quarterly. All management access is logged and auditable.

Encrypted at Rest (Pro)

Pro servers use full-disk encryption with keys that exist only in RAM. Power loss equals data loss, by design.

Transparency & Audits

We show our work because “trust us” isn't good enough.

Warrant Canary

Cryptographically signed and updated monthly. If we receive a government order we cannot disclose, the canary will not be updated.

Security Audits

We're scheduling comprehensive third-party security audits. Results will be published here with full transparency.
