On a mission to make the internet private, secure, and accessible for everyone.

Our Story

ShieldVPN 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 β€” one with independently audited infrastructure, open-source clients, and a transparent business model funded by subscriptions, not surveillance.

Today, ShieldVPN protects over 10 million users across 60+ countries with blazing-fast connections and uncompromising privacy.

Our Values

We believe privacy is a fundamental right, not a luxury. Everything we build starts with your privacy.

Speed Matters

Community Driven

Built by security researchers and privacy advocates who use ShieldVPN every day.

Global Access

Everyone deserves a free and open internet, regardless of geography or government restrictions.
