You can since the enclave attests to what is running! This is also coupled with the crypto and NAT occuring in-enclave with various timing/obfuscations. It's verifiably private.

VP.NET is the first VPN provider that you don't have to trust, but instead, can verify directly. See the source, which is verifiable: https://github.com/vpdotnet/vpnetd-sgx You can learn more here: https:/&#

Thanks for this as it was a bit more thoughtful and an almost accurate depiction. However, there are some discrepancies: 1. The ex staffers were already preparing their takeover event long before my name came in the picture. Domain registra

If you’re still debating trust in a VPN you’re doing it wrong, but that’s your prerogative. For the rest, code is more important than words from non-deterministic people. As for the freenode issue, look at the facts before parroting false n

I think you should look into the narrative before parroting falsehoods. Further, I’m not sure what came off as a “revenge” in my response unless facts are being interpreted as such.

It would probably make sense to look into details before parroting false narratives. Additionally, if you’re still talking about trust it means you don’t understand the technical implications of this.

Defense in depth dictates that this is more secure than standard VPNs out there (Mullvad, Proton, Nord, Express, etc.). Any real security researcher recognizes this. If you think 'trusting random strangers' is a better security ar

The whole point here is you don’t have to trust us - we don’t want you to. We want you to trust code, period. That said, the freenode issue was debunked and you can see receipts here: http://techrights.org/wp-content/up

The first part is definitely true. The second part in terms of correlations is untrue since we include a number of techniques to frustrate timing attacks among other things.

This has been debunked. Freenode was sold to me by Christel, the previous owner. I did not even offer to purchase it and simply assumed I was doing what I had been doing for a decade for freenode and many other FOSS projects - keeping them

The attestation guarantees it's the one serving the request, and the encryption/decryption and NAT occurs inside the enclave so it's definitely private.

It is slightly more than just a UI since all of the applications actually work (you can save and reload for example and still see your previous files too). It seems functional to me! Kudos to the author!
