🔒 Military-Grade Security You Can Trust

At Fully Private VPN, security isn't just a feature—it's the foundation of everything we do. We employ cutting-edge encryption technologies, secure infrastructure, and rigorous security protocols to ensure your online activity remains completely private and protected.

1. Encryption Technology

✓ AES-256 Encryption

We use AES-256-GCM (Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit keys), the same encryption standard trusted by:

  • Military & Intelligence Agencies: NSA, CIA, and military organizations worldwide
  • Financial Institutions: Banks and payment processors for sensitive transactions
  • Government Communications: Top-secret classified information

💡 What does this mean? With 2256 possible combinations, it would take billions of years for even the most powerful supercomputers to crack AES-256 encryption through brute force.

Encryption in Action

❌ Without VPN

  • Unencrypted traffic
  • Visible IP address
  • ISP can see everything
  • Vulnerable to hackers
  • Trackable online activity

✓ With Fully Private VPN

  • Military-grade encryption
  • Hidden IP address
  • Complete privacy from ISP
  • Protected on all networks
  • Anonymous browsing

2. VPN Protocols

We support multiple industry-leading VPN protocols, each optimized for different scenarios:

🚀 WireGuard®

Best For: Speed and modern security

  • Performance: Up to 3x faster than OpenVPN
  • Encryption: ChaCha20 for encryption, Poly1305 for authentication
  • Code Base: Only 4,000 lines of code (easier to audit)
  • Connection: Instant reconnection on network changes
  • Battery Efficient: Optimized for mobile devices
🔧 Technical Specs: Curve25519 for key exchange, BLAKE2s for hashing, HKDF for key derivation

🛡️ OpenVPN

Best For: Maximum compatibility and proven security

  • Industry Standard: Battle-tested over 20+ years
  • Encryption: AES-256-GCM cipher
  • Authentication: SHA-512 for data integrity
  • Flexibility: Works on all platforms and networks
  • Firewall Bypass: Can use TCP port 443 (looks like HTTPS)
🔧 Technical Specs: RSA-4096 handshake, Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), TLS 1.3

⚡ IKEv2/IPSec

Best For: Mobile users and network switching

  • Stability: Excellent for mobile connections
  • Encryption: AES-256 with 3072-bit DH keys
  • Speed: Faster than OpenVPN, similar to WireGuard

3. Advanced Security Features

🔐 Kill Switch

Automatically blocks all internet traffic if your VPN connection drops, preventing any data leaks.

  • Automatic protection
  • No manual intervention needed
  • Works at system level

🌐 DNS Leak Protection

Routes all DNS queries through our encrypted VPN tunnel using our own secure DNS servers.

  • Private DNS servers
  • No third-party DNS
  • Complete query encryption

🚫 IPv6 Leak Protection

Disables IPv6 traffic or routes it through VPN to prevent IPv6 address leaks.

  • IPv6 traffic blocking
  • Fallback to IPv4
  • Zero leak guarantee

🔒 Perfect Forward Secrecy

Generates unique encryption keys for each session, ensuring past communications remain secure.

  • Session-specific keys
  • No master key vulnerability
  • Historical data protection

🛡️ Multi-Hop (Double VPN)

Route your traffic through two VPN servers for an extra layer of encryption and anonymity.

  • Double encryption
  • Enhanced anonymity
  • Available on select servers

🔍 Split Tunneling

Choose which apps use the VPN and which connect directly to the internet.

  • App-level control
  • Optimize performance
  • Flexible routing

4. Infrastructure Security

RAM-Only Servers (Diskless Infrastructure)

All our VPN servers run entirely on RAM (volatile memory) with no hard drives:

  • No Data Persistence: All data is wiped on server reboot or power loss
  • Impossible to Seize Data: Physical server seizure yields no user data
  • Fresh Start: Each boot loads a clean server image
  • Security Guarantee: Even if compromised, no historical data exists
💡 Why This Matters: Traditional servers with hard drives can store logs, cache, or temporary files. Our RAM-only servers make it technically impossible to retain any user data long-term.

Secure Data Centers

  • Tier 3/4 Facilities: Military-grade physical security and redundancy
  • 24/7 Surveillance: Continuous monitoring with biometric access control
  • DDoS Protection: Advanced mitigation against distributed attacks
  • Geographic Diversity: Servers distributed across 90+ locations worldwide
  • Power Redundancy: Multiple backup power systems for 99.9% uptime
  • Network Isolation: Segregated networks prevent lateral movement

Owned Infrastructure

We operate our own servers—no third-party VPS providers:

  • ✓ Full Control: Complete ownership of hardware and software
  • ✓ No Third-Party Access: No hosting providers can access our systems
  • ✓ Custom Configuration: Optimized specifically for VPN performance
  • ✓ Hardware Security: Tamper-evident seals and security measures

5. No-Logs Policy

Our Zero-Knowledge Architecture

We've designed our entire infrastructure around a core principle: we cannot provide data we don't collect. Our no-logs policy isn't just a promise—it's technically enforced by our architecture.

What We DON'T Log:

  • ❌ Browsing History: Websites you visit
  • ❌ Traffic Data: Content of your communications
  • ❌ Connection Timestamps: When you connect/disconnect
  • ❌ IP Addresses: Your real IP or assigned VPN IP
  • ❌ DNS Queries: Domain names you look up
  • ❌ Session Information: Duration or bandwidth per session
  • ❌ Device IDs: Unique identifiers for your devices

Independent Audits: Our no-logs policy has been verified by independent third-party security auditors. We publish audit results annually for full transparency.
