About TheVPN

A small VPN that tries to be clear about what it does.

TheVPN is a VPN app for iPhone and Android. When it is on, everything your phone sends to the internet travels through an encrypted tunnel to one of our servers first, so the network you are on (a café, a hotel, your mobile carrier) cannot see where it is going.

How it works

• The tunnel uses WireGuard, an open, widely reviewed VPN protocol.
• Your key is created on your phone and never leaves it. The server only receives the public half, which cannot be used to read your traffic.
• Block lists work at the DNS level: when the VPN is on, our server answers "no such address" for names on the lists you have switched on.
• Your account exists so the free plan's monthly allowance can be counted and so you can use more than one device.

Where we are today

TheVPN is new. It currently runs one server location in the United States (Boston) and the apps are in testing ahead of release on the App Store and Google Play. More locations and a paid Pro plan are planned.
