WYOMING, USA — June 26, 2025 — VP.NET™ (Verified Privacy Network) today introduced the first consumer virtual private network that is cryptographically incapable of inspecting or logging user traffic. Sessions operate inside Intel® Software Guard Extensions (SGX) secure enclaves, tamper-resistant hardware zones that even system administrators cannot access. Each client performs live attestation before the first packet is exchanged, eliminating the need to trust the operator.
A Broken Industry Reliant on Trust
The multi-billion dollar consumer VPN market has long relied on unverified promises rather than technical guarantees. Industry analysts estimate that while VPNs generate billions of dollars annually, most services still depend on a "trust us" model. The zero-trust architecture, already proven in cryptocurrencies, is long overdue in privacy services.
"Legacy consumer VPN had its moment, but let’s be clear: handing your entire internet traffic to some random company and hoping they’re not shady is absurd," said Andrew Lee, Chairman of VP.NET. "We built VP.NET with hardware-guaranteed privacy, so you receive verifiable privacy by design rather than marketing claims."
Technical Architecture: Hardware Isolation and Real-Time Attestation
VP.NET combines encrypted tunnels with SGX enclaves, sealing decrypted data completely away from operators. Traffic is mixed, batched, and obfuscated to frustrate timing analysis, and every connection begins with a cryptographic proof that the expected server software is running. Because operators do not have access to the SGX enclaves, no logs exist to subpoena or monetize. The company chose to incorporate in the United States, citing transparent court oversight compared with opaque offshore jurisdictions.
“We’re the most transparent VPN in the world,” said Mark Karpeles, CTO of VP.NET. “Any change we make to the backend will immediately be detected, publicly, by our client software. We’re incapable of creating secret backdoors.”
Cypherpunk Lineup Brings Bitcoin Ethos to Privacy
The project brings together early cypherpunk figures: Andrew Lee (founder of Private Internet Access), Mark Karpeles (former Mt. Gox CEO), Roger Ver (founder of Bitcoin.com known as “Bitcoin Jesus”), and media entrepreneur Matt Kim (The Matt Kim Podcast). Their shared philosophy extends the Bitcoin principle of removing trusted third parties into the realm of internet routing.
“Bitcoin removed banks from the trust equation. VP.NET applies the same principle to internet routing and privacy,” said Roger Ver.
“We’re not going to convince you with words and fluff, verify things yourself and watch us,” added Matt Kim, CEO of VP.NET. “We’re the first, and only, VPN that can prove it.”
