Privacy isn't negotiable. It's the right of every human being. Project-S was launched by a group of scientists and cybersecurity professionals to make the Internet a safer place. With this app, we are happy to introduce the next generation of VPN - our Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). We offer you an unlimited experience without boring you with all the messy technical details, such as the number of servers, protocols, etc.; we operate on a whole new level, which is fast, smart, and much more secure than ever. How Project-S VPC works: • Cloud. We have built a highly secure virtual private cloud spanning across the globe. We do not brag about the number of servers we have beyond saying that we have *enough* for you to not experience any performance degradation… ever. As soon as the load on our cloud exceeds 50% capacity in any region we automatically increase the number of servers in that region, keeping you happy with the connection speed. As soon as the load drops, we decrease the number of servers, saving on the cost and keeping you happy with our low prices. You being happy is our goal! • Personal information. We do not collect any personal information and do not require any registration of any kind. Your personal information cannot be exposed when you use our service simply because we don’t collect any… • FREE Privacy. If your goal is to preserve your privacy without changing your geolocation, we can do it, and currently it is FREE! No limitations! Immediately after downloading our app, you are one click away from hiding your Internet traffic from prying eyes. Our app would automatically pick the best server and connection parameters for you and you will be able to enjoy safe Internet surfing for free! Not only won’t you have any speed or bandwidth limitations, but also, if you start using our service now, while it is free, we guarantee to keep it free for you for the entire life of our service as a token of appreciation for our pioneers! • Paid Premium Service. If changing geolocation is your goal, subscribe to our Premium Service for a small monthly fee and you will be able to select a country that you want your location to be changed to. Our app will still connect your phone to our nearest server, but then it will route your traffic within our highly optimized secure cloud to one of the servers in the country of your choice. This way, not only will your traffic be protected, but so will the direction it goes! Additionally, we are able to dynamically change the destination server for even better protection! All of this is done automatically by our cloud. You don’t need to worry about all these protocols, servers, etc… As they say, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight! • FREE Premium Service. Not only did we organize all our servers together in a cloud, we think of all our users together as a community of privacy, safety, and security-oriented people. We strive to grow this community as fast as possible and will thank you for helping us out here. If you bring five or more users, you will get our FREE Premium Service for as long as those users maintain their Premium (Paid or FREE) service! What Project-S VPC does: • Disassociates your Internet traffic from your identity • Preserves full anonymity while on the Internet • Protects your connection while on public Wi-Fi • Prevents your activity from being seen or logged by anyone between you and the Internet • Automatically selects the best connection for you in and out of our Virtual Private Cloud What Project-S VPC does not do: • Does not require registration of any sort • Does not collect, store, or distribute a single bit of your personal data • Does not log your activity • Does not limit the amount of traffic or connection speed As Amanda Seyfried’s character in Anon put it, “It's not that I have something to hide, I have nothing I want you to see” Internet deserves to be safer!
