A decentralized, trustless, uncensorable VPN for the web3 age

true openness requires anonymity

Anonymity by HOPR

Gnosis VPN is built on top of the decentralized HOPR mixnet to ensure full anonymity for users. Requests are relayed via multiple nodes, ensuring that no-one can identify the source.

Built for web3

Gnosis VPN is built for a web3 world.

That’s easy to say, but what does it mean to truly move on from Web 2.0 thinking and build for an anonymous open internet?

Developing Gnosis VPN meant committing to:

No user tracking of any kind

No centralized RPC providers

No centralized indexer

No APIs leaking user metadata

No centrally hosted infrastructure

But once we strip all that out, can Gnosis VPN actually work? Yes, and it looks like this!

THE
FUTURE

Here are some of the upcoming features we're excited about.

Edge Nodes

Adding lightweight nodes to the network reduces technical requirements and allows mobile devices to use the underlying mixnet without relying on a few centralized gateway nodes.

Streamlined UX

A good VPN is seamless. Gnosis VPN v1 will have massively reduced time to first connection by eliminating node setup. Future versions will abstract away the crypto components to scale up the userbase.

Streamlined UX

Anonymous Return Path

Anonymous internet browsing is particularly challenging, because VPN exit nodes need to serve requests without learning your IP. HOPR’s return path implementation gives users full control while still fairly rewarding node runners.

Anonymous Return Path

Standing on the shoulders of giants

Gnosis VPN is built on top of some of the most established web3 infrastructure projects, including:

HOPR

The HOPR mixnet provides anonymous bandwidth for any sort of application. Gnosis VPN provides VPN services on top of this anonymity layer.

Gnosis Chain

Gnosis VPN needs a maximally resilient and decentralized chain as a trust anchor for censorship-resistant retrieval of HOPR mixnet topology and settling transactions.
