- Launched on July 27, 2025, a new VPN service seeks to solve problems with the confidence of suppliers
- VP.NET uses Intel SGX hardware to supposedly deliver “verifiable cryptographically privacy”
- The researchers discovered some vulnerabilities with Intel SGX systems in the past
A new VPN service has just landed in the market, promising to adopt a completely different technical approach to user privacy.
Short for verified privacy, VP.NET claims to be built in a way that physically separates the identities of the users of their navigation activity at the hardware level. In doing so, the supplier seeks to solve problems linked to the confidence of virtual private network suppliers (VPN). Then, forget the VPN No-Log policies and welcome “verifiable cryptographically.
The supplier launched the application on June 27, 2025, on all the main platforms, namely Windows, Macos, Linux, Android and iOS, and now strives to become the VPN of the future. However, not without some controversy.
The problem with policies without registration
All the best VPN services currently offer strict non-log policies. These guarantee that the supplier never stores any of its identifiable data and is regularly verified with independent audits without registration.
The problem is that even third -party VPN audits require a dose of trust.
“An audit only demonstrates that something was true at that time. That is why we are bringing math and verifiable cryptography to the mixture so that when we say you are private, you are actually private,” one of the founders of VP.net, Andrew Lee, to Techradar, told Techradar.
Lee, the founder of Private Internet Access (PIA), a popular VPN NO-Log supplier, realized that many users now need a privacy level that is not based on trust. He then associated with other privacy developers to build a new type of VPN service.
That said, it is worth noting that PIA is among the companies that have demonstrated their non-log statements in real life over the years, which once once but twice in court. Another example is Mullvad, which left a police raid with empty hands in Sweden in 2023.
What does VP.net do differently?
The great novelty with VP.net is found in its technology. The company uses Intel SGX Hardware, which promises to deliver “verifiable cryptographically.
For the least technicians, all you need to know is that all sensitive operations, those that somehow could reveal their identity, occur in some so -called encrypted enclaves. These are safe and isolated spaces within the software infrastructure that physically prevent the VPN supplier from accessing the activities that occur inside.
In a nutshell, this mechanism should make it “technically impossible to associate its identity with what it does online,” explains the supplier.
However, not only encryption; The system also claims to use the SGX certification. This is a security mechanism that ensures that the encrypted enclaves work as they should, preventing the supplier or any other third party from accessing the activities that occur inside. This is “verifiable by customers who use Intel certification services,” said the supplier. You can see all the technical details of VP.net here.
Crucially, VP.net also offers some protection against metadata monitoring, which means all the details that are not the content. Echoing what the innovative NYMVPN Mixnet network and the Mullvad Daita tool, VP.NET also uses some techniques to avoid traffic analysis and obscure real use patterns.
Beyond the new infrastructure, VP.net also includes all the classic characteristics that would expect from a VPN.
These include support for the safe and fast Wireguard protocol, together with safety characteristics such as a death switch and DNS leak protection. Add encryption support after the quanto is also in the pipe.
All applications are also open source, so that anyone with technical knowledge can verify the code to see if the software behaves as it should. You can take a look at the public repositories of the supplier heading to the VP.net Gifthub page.
Is it really bulletproof?
Despite good facilities on paper, Intel SGX Tech is certainly not exempt from defects.
In 2019, for example, a team of researchers discovered a way of executing and hiding malware in Intel systems. Worse, this malicious software was undetectable for antivirus tools at that time.
This may be among the reasons why Intel repaired multiple security holes in 2023, addressing many existing defects and vulnerabilities.
Such security solution certainly does not completely convince everyone in the industry, including the NYMVPN CEO, which is another VPN provider that seeks to challenge problems with the confidence of VPN suppliers. “I prefer decentralization and advanced cryptography instead of believing that Intel has produced a silver bullet,” said NYMVPN CEO, Harry Halpin, to Techradar.
Another contentious point is behind the VP.net team. Well -known names from the world of Bitcoin, both Roger Ver and Mark Karpelès have had some legal problems in the past.
When commenting on this last point, Karpelès told Techradar: “For the way in which we build the system, there is no need to trust the team behind VP.NET. We provide independent systems that verify on its own, as a connection if everything is safe. So, even if I wanted to connect or do something like that, there is no way to do anything. “
