Mask your lP
Spider VPN hides your real lP address, preventing the easiest and most accurate way for websites to track you online.
Strict Privacy Protection
We are protected by the world's strictest privacy laws. Operating in an independent jurisdiction outside of any mass surveillance alliances ensures your data remains secure.
No-Logs Policy
Spider VPN does not keep any logs that could compromise your privacy. Under the strict privacy laws of our jurisdiction, we cannot be compelled to start logging or disclosing your personal activity data.
Multi-Level Forwarding
Utilize our advanced multi-level routing architecture to pass your network traffic through multiple encrypted nodes. This effectively cuts off tracking links and conceals your true origin, providing ultimate anonymity and communication security beyond standard VPNs.
DNS leak protection
Ensures your browsing history is never leaked to your internet service provider. Website address lookups are always done by Spider.
Tor over VPN
Connect to the Tor anonymity network and visit .onion sites from the convenience of your regular browser.
Strong encryption
We use only the strongest encryption to protect your internet connection. This means we encrypt all your network traffic with AES-256, exchange keys with 4096-bit RSA, and use HMAC with SHA384 for message authentication.
Forward secrecy
We have carefully selected our encryption cipher suites to include only ones with perfect forward secrecy. This means that your encrypted traffic cannot be captured and decrypted later if the encryption key from a subsequent session gets compromised. We generate a new encryption key each time you connect to the VPN, so a key is never used for more than one session.
Strong protocols
We use only the strongest encryption to protect your internet connection. This means we encrypt all your network traffic with AES-256, exchange keys with 4096-bit RSA, and use HMAC with SHA384 for message authentication.
Full disk encryption
Although they store virtually no personally identifiable data, we protect all Proton VPN servers with full disk encryption. This helps protect them against resource-intensive man-in-the-middle attacks that governments can perform. Full disk encryption protects server certificates and all other configurations and software stored on our exit servers so that attackers cannot access any data, even if one was somehow compromised.
NetShield (Ad-blocker)
NetShield is a DNS filtering feature that protects you from malware, blocks ads, and prevents website trackers from following you as you surf the web. As NetShield prevents your device from loading unnecessary content from the websites you visit, it also reduces the amount of data you need to load and increases your browsing speed.
VPN Accelerator
VPN Accelerator is a set of technologies unique to Spider VPN that can increase your VPN connection speeds by up to 400%. VPN Accelerator dramatically increases performance by overcoming CPU limitations that affect how VPN protocols are processed, using advanced networking techniques to reduce latency, and redesigning VPN protocols themselves to reduce inefficiencies in their code.
Secure Core
Spider VPN's Secure Core architecture gives you the unique ability to defend against network-based attacks. Secure Core protects your connection by routing your traffic through multiple servers before leaving our network. This means an advanced adversary who can monitor the network traffic at the exit server will not be able to discover your true IP address or match your browsing activity to your IP address.
Stealth
Spider VPN's Stealth is a unique VPN protocol that evades detection and allows you to bypass most firewalls and VPN blocking methods. Unlike other VPN services, we’re deeply committed to advancing freedom and developing new technologies to beat censorship worldwide. For instance, our alternative routing technology bypasses internet blocks by rerouting connections over other paths. Similarly, our Stealth VPN protocol fights censorship by making your VPN traffic look like regular traffic, allowing you to access otherwise blocked information.
Physical Security
We spare no effort in securing Spider VPN's core server infrastructure. Our critical servers are housed in high-security facilities—such as converted former military bases and deep underground data centers—protected by strict biometric access controls. By deploying our own proprietary hardware, we ensure your data is protected against tampering and threats at the physical level.
Trusted
It’s important you use a trustworthy VPN, which is why we are one of the only VPN companies transparent about exactly who runs our service. Our team has a long track record in security.
Open source
Founded by MIT and CERN scientists, Spider VPN believes in transparency and peer review. Our apps are 100% open source, so anyone can examine our code. This transparency means that you can be confident that our apps do what they’re supposed to — and only what they’re supposed to.
Independently audited
Although being open source means anyone can check our code, Spider VPN also regularly commissions professional audits for all our full-release software from independent security experts.
No-logs policy
we are not obligated to save any user connection logs, nor can we be forced to perform targeted logging on specific users. This allows us to ensure that your private browsing history stays private and cannot be turned over to a third party under any circumstances. Our no-logs policy applies to all our users, including anyone using our free VPN.
DNS leak prevention
Spider VPN doesn't just protect your browsing traffic, we also protect your DNS queries. By routing your DNS queries through the encrypted tunnel and not relying on third-party DNS providers, we ensure that your browsing activity cannot be exposed by leaks from DNS queries.
Kill switch and always-on VPN
Spider VPN applications offer built-in kill switch and always-on VPN features. If you lose connection with the VPN server, kill switch blocks all network traffic, while always-on VPN automatically re-establishes your connection to a VPN server. These features prevent a VPN server disconnect from inadvertently compromising your privacy by revealing your true IP address.
Tor over VPN
Spider VPN comes with built-in Tor support. Through our VPN servers that are connected to Tor, you can route all of your traffic through the Tor anonymity network. This provides a convenient way to access Onion sites with just a single click.
Anonymous
We respect your privacy, so we don’t require any personal identifying information to obtain a Spider VPN account.
High speed
For optimal performance, we use only high-speed servers. All Spider VPN servers have a minimum of 1 Gbps bandwidth, and many of our servers utilize 10 Gbps connections. This allows us to provide blazing-fast speeds even though we use only the strongest encryption, so you don’t have to sacrifice speed for security.
Easy to use
We understand that it’s important for security technology to be easy to use. We have designed all Spider VPN applications to have a simple and intuitive user interface so that you can browse privately with a single click.
