About KernelVPN
On a mission to make the internet private, secure, and accessible for everyone.
Our Story
KernelVPN was founded in 2021 by a team of cybersecurity professionals who were frustrated with the VPN industry's broken promises. Too many providers claimed "no logs" while quietly selling user data.
We set out to build a VPN we'd actually trust with our own data — one with independently audited infrastructure, open-source clients, and a transparent business model funded by subscriptions, not surveillance.
Today, KernelVPN protects over 10 million users across 60+ countries with blazing-fast connections and uncompromising privacy.
