Trusted

It’s important you use a trustworthy VPN, which is why we are one of the only VPN companies transparent about exactly who runs our service. Our team has a long track record in security, having previously built SafeConnect Mail(new window) — the world's largest encrypted email service. Whether challenging governments, educating the public(new window), or training journalists(new window), we have a long history of fighting for privacy online and contributing to the open-source community.

Open source

Founded by MIT and CERN scientists, SafeConnect believes in transparency and peer review. Our apps are 100% open source, so anyone can examine our code. This transparency means that you can be confident that our apps do what they’re supposed to — and only what they’re supposed to. You can see the code for all our apps on GitHub(new window).

Independently audited

Although being open source means anyone can check our code, SafeConnect also regularly commissions professional audits for all our full-release software from independent security experts. Unlike some VPN companies, we publish the full results of these audits(new window) online for all to see.

Physical security

We have gone to extreme lengths to protect SafeConnect's Secure Core servers to ensure their security. Critical infrastructure in Switzerland is located at a high-security data center outside of Zurich that requires biometric access, and our infrastructure in Iceland resides in a secure former military base. Our servers in Sweden are also located in an underground data center. By shipping our own equipment to these locations, we ensure that our servers are as protected at the hardware level.

No-logs policy

Under Swiss law, we are not obligated to save any user connection logs, nor can we be forced to perform targeted logging on specific users. This allows us to ensure that your private browsing history stays private and cannot be turned over to a third party under any circumstances. Our no-logs policy applies to all our users, including anyone using our free VPN.

DNS leak prevention

SafeConnect doesn't just protect your browsing traffic, we also protect your DNS queries. By routing your DNS queries through the encrypted tunnel and not relying on third-party DNS providers, we ensure that your browsing activity cannot be exposed by leaks from DNS queries.

Kill switch and always-on VPN

SafeConnect applications offer built-in kill switch and always-on VPN features. If you lose connection with the VPN server, kill switch blocks all network traffic,while always-on VPN automatically re-establishes your connection to a VPN server. These features prevent a VPN server disconnect from inadvertently compromising your privacy by revealing your true IP address.

Tor over VPN

SafeConnect comes with built-in Tor support. Through our VPN servers that are connected to Tor, you can route all of your traffic through the Tor anonymity network. This provides a convenient way to access Onion sites with just a single click.

Frequently asked questions

Absolutely. If you browse online, you simply need a VPN. Encrypted internet traffic, greater online privacy, and access to more content are the main advantages of a VPN. Furthermore, people are more vulnerable to cyber threats than they think. A VPN provides an extra layer of security that’s indispensable when you’re on public Wi-Fi, browsing websites without HTTPS, or using unsecure apps.

It depends on the VPN service of your choice. Free VPN services often collect and sell user data — because they need to make money somehow. But if you’re willing to pay for the service, VPN benefits outweigh the possible disadvantages by a mile. Make sure you choose an established VPN brand that offers a strict no-logs policy and is trusted by millions of internet users. That’s how you’ll get all the VPN advantages without suffering any drawbacks.

A VPN is a must-have tool for organizations. VPN business solutions protect your remote team, secure your network from cyberthreats, and enable your employees to access anything on the web. Learn more about our business VPN.
