Summary
The site does not set cookies, does not run analytics scripts, does not embed advertising, and does not ask you to create an account. The only data associated with a visit is the standard technical log kept by the hosting provider for a short period.
What is recorded
The site is served as static files by a content delivery network. Like every web host, the provider records technical request data: the requesting IP address, the requested URL, the time, the browser user agent string and the referring page if your browser sends one. These logs exist for security and capacity purposes and are retained by the host according to its own retention schedule. The site's operators do not export, analyse or combine them with other data.
What is not recorded
- No cookies are set by this site. Your browser's cookie storage for webvpn.org should be empty.
- No analytics or tag manager scripts run. You can confirm this by viewing the page source: the only scripts are the site's own interface and animation files served from this domain.
- No advertising networks are loaded.
- No forms on this site submit data to a server. The contact page lists an email address; anything you send there is handled as described below.
- No fonts, scripts or images are loaded from third-party domains.
If you write to the address on the contact page, your message and address are kept in the mailbox for as long as needed to reply and to act on any correction you report. They are not added to a mailing list and are not shared.
External links
Articles link to third-party sites such as VPN providers, the Tor Project and public court records. Those sites have their own privacy policies and this policy does not cover them. Links are provided for verification of the claims made in the articles, not as endorsements.
Legacy proxy
Between 2010 and 2017 this domain operated a web proxy. That service no longer exists, and no logs or data from it are held by the current operators. Requests to the old proxy paths are redirected to the explanation page and are not processed.
Changes
This policy is updated when the site's behaviour changes. The updated date at the top of the page reflects the most recent edit.
