VPN Guard routes your traffic through our own dedicated servers on four continents. Not resold cloud boxes, not a shared proxy pool. Nobody sees what you do online: not the hackers on public Wi-Fi, not your network, not us. WHY THIS VPN • WireGuard, OpenVPN (UDP/TCP) and IKEv2 — pick any, or let the app choose • AES-256 encryption on every connection • Strict no-logs policy — no traffic, no IP, no browsing history, ever • Unlimited bandwidth and no throttling • One-tap connect, and a kill switch that holds if the tunnel drops • Smart Auto picks the fastest nearby server for you • No account needed — install, subscribe and connect • One subscription covers all your devices NO ADS, EVER No rewarded videos, no interstitials, and no advertising SDK of any kind. We are paid by subscribers, which is why you are the customer rather than the product. GLOBAL SERVER NETWORK Our own dedicated servers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Singapore, France, Germany and Poland. Connect to the one nearest you for the lowest latency, on Wi-Fi, 4G and 5G. BUILT FOR PRIVACY We cannot sell what we never store.
