Keep your data private with WireDog VPN – a US-based, open-source, no-logs VPN service. Plans start at $6.99/month with annual billing. GETTING STARTED 1. Install the app. 2. Create a Standard (Email/Password) or Anonymous (16-digit account number) account. 3. Purchase a subscription via in-app purchase, or on our website. 4. Connect with one tap. Your data now routes exclusively through U.S. infrastructure. PRIVACY FIRST COMMITMENT - WireDog has a strict zero-logs policy on your VPN activity. - WireDog is committed to transparency by remaining open-source. - We don't collect browsing history, websites visited, DNS queries, traffic contents, or IP addresses. - Anonymous accounts use a 16-digit account number only, maximizing your anonymity. - All data stays within U.S. infrastructure, so your data never leaves U.S. soil. HOW WIREDOG VPN WORKS When you connect to WireDog, your internet traffic travels through an encrypted tunnel to one of our U.S. servers. Websites and services only see our server's identity, not yours. Your internet service provider (ISP) can see you're using a VPN, but not what you're doing. WireDog never logs activity, so we can't provide it to anyone – even under legal request. This is possible because of our privacy-first architecture. We're open-source, so you can verify our claims. WHY PRIVACY MATTERS Your online activity is yours alone. WireDog is built to protect you from data collection, surveillance, and tracking. We don't sell your data. We don't profile you. We don't monitor what you do online. You can learn more about our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service here: https://www.wiredogvpn.com/legal/privacy https://www.wiredogvpn.com/legal/terms-of-service
Outpost
Read full descriptionHide full description
Outpost runs a private VPN inside your OWN Amazon Web Services account. There is no VPN company in the middle — because there is no Outpost server anywhere. The app talks straight from your iPhone to AWS, using keys only you hold. VERIFY IT YOURSELF Don't take our word for it. Every action Outpost performs runs under your AWS credentials, in your AWS account — so every single API call is recorded in your own CloudTrail. Read the log. No other VPN can offer you that. WHAT IT DOES • Builds a WireGuard (or Apple-native IKEv2) server in your AWS account in about 60–90 seconds. • 20 AWS regions worldwide — change exit country with a tap. • Ephemeral by design: a fresh server on connect, torn down on disconnect. No always-on box, no monthly VPS. • Infrastructure console: every server you're running, its live cost, and one-tap stop or terminate. • Hard data cap plus an auto-cleanup janitor running in your own account, so a crash, force-quit or forgotten session can't run up a surprise AWS bill. • Tunnel keys are generated on-device. SSH is never opened on the server. A least-privilege IAM policy is provided for the keys you paste. WHAT OUTPOST IS NOT We would rather you know this before you pay: • It is not anonymity software. AWS knows the instance is yours — you own the account and the bill. If you need anonymity, use Tor. • It will not hide you from a state-level adversary. • It is not a shared-IP service. Your exit IP is yours alone: excellent for trust, useless for blending into a crowd. What it does protect: your traffic from the network you're sitting on — hotel, café and airport Wi-Fi — and your browsing from an ISP that logs and sells it, without handing that same data to a VPN provider instead. HOW IT COMPARES • A commercial VPN: $5–12/month, shared exit IPs, and a no-logs policy you have to take on faith. • DIY (Algo, Streisand + a VPS): free software, but you need a computer, a terminal, and an always-on server in one location. • Outpost: no computer, no terminal, nothing always-on — 20 regions on demand from your phone, and the server is destroyed when you disconnect. WHAT YOU PAY Outpost Pro unlocks the connection: 7-day free trial, then $3.99/month or $29.99/year. You pay Amazon directly for the AWS resources you use — typically $1–4/month for everyday browsing. We take $0 from AWS: no referral, no markup, no kickback. BUILT FOR Developers, prosumers and privacy-minded people who already have (or can create) an AWS account, and would rather own the server than rent someone else's. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
