So we made one that doesn’t. Even “no-log” VPNs can track you, since they see both who you are and what you do. Obscura is built such that we can’t see your traffic in the first place.

How do I download Obscura? I’m Carl, head-janitor of Obscura 👋 Thanks for reaching the bottom — not everyone makes it. I’m incredibly lucky to have the help of a crack(ed) team of privacy optimists to build Obscura. Among us, we’ve served on the Nix RFC Steering Committee, implemented the 64bit random number generator for the Go standard library, fixed critical vulnerabilities for hardware security tokens, won bounties for Monero bugs, and contributed to Bitcoin for reproducible builds. But while privacy and digital sovereignty in some worlds has made leaps and bounds, VPNs have been left behind; peddling privacy based on promises instead of privacy baked into the architecture. So we’re taking our skills to build Obscura: a VPN you can depend on to get the most out of our glorious digital commons – the internet. It’s the VPN we’ve always wanted to use, and it’s the kind of privacy we believe everyone should have access to.
