TIPAS VPN provides a fast, secure, and no-logs VPN service designed to protect your online privacy. Traditional VPN servers can see both where you connect from and where you go online. With such servers, your privacy is compromised. TIPAS VPN takes a different approach. It uses two independent relays to transmit your traffic, with end-to-end encryption between your device and the exit relay. • The entry relay knows your origin but not your destination. • The exit relay knows your destination but not your origin. This means that with TIPAS VPN, no server anywhere on the Internet can see both your origin and destination — only your own device holds that knowledge.
