JUNE 26, 2025 – WYOMING, USA – VP.NET™ (Verified Privacy Network) today introduced the first consumer virtual private network that is cryptographically incapable of inspecting or logging user traffic. All sessions run inside Intel® Software Guard Extensions (SGX) secure enclaves, tamper-resistant hardware zones inaccessible even to system administrators. Before the first packet is exchanged, each client performs live attestation, ensuring users never need to trust the operator.
A Dream Team of Cypherpunks
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). These individuals previously helped shape the digital currency landscape and now apply the same “trust but verify” ethos to internet privacy.
“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.”
Architecture: Zero Trust, Hardware Isolation
VP.NET combines encrypted tunnels with Intel SGX enclaves. Decrypted data remains completely isolated from operators. Traffic is mixed, batched, and obfuscated to frustrate timing analysis. Every connection begins with a cryptographic proof that the expected server software is running. Because operators cannot access the SGX enclaves, no logs exist to subpoena or monetize.
“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.”
Addressing a Stagnant Market
Industry analysts estimate that consumer VPNs generate billions of dollars annually, yet most services still rely on a “trust us” model. Zero trust architecture, already proven in cryptocurrencies, is long overdue in privacy services. VP.NET applies the same principle Bitcoin introduced to finance: removing the trusted intermediary.
“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.”
Corporate Structure & Legal Compliance
Founded in 2025 and headquartered in Wyoming, VP.NET deliberately chose U.S. incorporation, citing clearer court oversight than opaque offshore jurisdictions. The company’s patent-pending platform uses hardware attestation, cryptographic guarantees, and transparent auditability to keep user data unreadable and un-loggable.
