3. VPN Service

Our VPN service routes your internet traffic through secure servers to protect your privacy. We use OpenVPN and WireGuard protocols.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. All VPN connections are encrypted using AES-256 (OpenVPN) or ChaCha20 (WireGuard) encryption protocols. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.
