VpnHood is a free, open-source VPN — the code, the protocol work, and the conversations around them all happen in public on GitHub. This blog is the writing that goes with that work.
What to expect here
- Guides — setting up VpnHood on your devices, self-hosting your own server, and getting the most out of the apps.
- Engineering notes — how the pieces work under the hood, and the trade-offs behind them.
- Censorship and circumvention — what network blocking looks like in practice, and how modern tools keep traffic flowing.
- Project news — releases and milestones that deserve more than a changelog line.
Why a blog at all
A VPN asks for a rare amount of trust: it sits between you and everything you do online. Open source answers part of that — anyone can read the code. But trust also needs explanations someone can actually read, and when a design decision matters, it deserves more room than a commit message.
That is what this space is for.
If there is a topic you want covered, start a discussion on GitHub — reader questions are where the best posts start.
