Hey guys, As you may know, VPNs are often used to protect privacy of consumers & businesses. But currently, they just shift the threat model from an ISP or some malicious intermediary to the VPN itself. Most VPN recommendations end with the same result - we don't know which one is good, but these are bad and definitely don't use a free one (or sometimes click this affiliate link). So what we built is a new product, Confirmed VPN, that uses a new paradigm, Openly Operated. In open source, you show some or all of your code to the world as a way to share technology & ideas. We see Openly Operated as the next step of that, where you open source your code and can prove that that code and only that code is running on the server to protect privacy and promote better behavior from companies. More information on how here - https://confirmedvpn.com/openly-.... This means anyone can view the code, prove it is the only code on the server, & audit the product. This is the only product that does this, making it really the only VPN you can trust and maybe the only software you can trust. Look forward to hearing any feedback on the idea!

worlds first OPENLY OPERATED (tm) VPN? Yes, because before this one, OPENLY OPERATED (tm) did not exist I don’t think. It truly scares me to think about the number of people downloading and using these “secure” VPNs. ANYONE can build a basic vpn with a $5 linode server. When it comes to my data, I see a lot of red flags here. Openly operated (tm) IS NOT the same as open source. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/... is open source.

@architekco Hey Evan, thanks for your response! We mentioned the differences in the first comment and description of the offering. Openly Operated is a standard we created that demands your code be completely open source in addition to several other privacy-focused requirements (more here: https://confirmedvpn.com/openly-...). Open source is a great way to share technologies but does not show any implementation of a privacy policy. In our system, we *prove* that our code is the only code running and that we do not have any access to your personal data. Also, people can create their own basic VPN server, but they lose several advantages of a VPN including multiple regions and different IP addresses, and would have to do all security patching & server maintenance on their own. It may be the right solution for some, but definitely not most. Hope this clarifies the product and let me know if you have any questions!
