Lopux-VPN
An encrypted tunnel between your device and our servers: your provider sees that you are online, not where you went.
What a VPN actually does
It builds an encrypted tunnel from your device to a server. Your provider, the café's router and anyone else on the way sees that you are connected to one VPN server address — not which sites you opened, and not what was on them.
What ours does on top of that
- The connection is shaped to look like ordinary web traffic, so it does not stand out as a VPN on the wire.
- Servers rotate, and each app is handed a small personal set rather than the full list.
- Split tunneling: pick apps or sites that should go around the tunnel — a bank that dislikes foreign addresses, a work tool, a local printer.
- A kill switch: if the tunnel drops, nothing slips out around it until you disconnect on purpose.
What it does not do
A VPN does not remove trust, it divides it: instead of your provider, your traffic goes through us. From our side we see the IP address that connected — and, unlike the provider that sold you the connection, we hold no passport details and no home address for you — while your provider cannot see which addresses you visit. And in general terms: a VPN does not make you fully anonymous, and it does not protect you from a site you type your details into — always check, and beware of fraudsters!
The project is in active development and the service is free right now. That also means it is not a service with guarantees yet — if something breaks, tell us and we will fix it, but do not build anything critical on it.
