OpenNet VPN combines proven VPN encryption with advanced proxy techniques to keep your internet connection secure and censorship-resistant. This section explains the technology in simple terms, so you know what’s happening behind the scenes when you connect.

Encrypted VPN Tunnel

When you connect to OpenNet VPN, your device creates an encrypted tunnel to one of our VPN servers. All data passing through this tunnel is encoded with strong encryption, so outsiders (like your internet service provider or hackers on public Wi-Fi) cannot read or alter your traffic. This encrypted tunnel means:

  • Private Browsing: Websites you visit, messages you send, and files you download are hidden from prying eyes. Even your ISP cannot see which sites you access.

  • Hidden IP Address: Websites and online services will see the IP address of the VPN server instead of your real IP. This masks your location and identity online. It also helps bypass geographic restrictions by making it appear as if you’re connecting from the server’s region.

  • Data Integrity: Encryption ensures that the data isn’t tampered with en route. If anyone intercepts your traffic, they’ll only see garbled ciphertext, not your personal information or web activity.

Stealth Proxy Technology

In addition to standard VPN tunneling, OpenNet VPN uses stealth proxy protocols to evade censorship and deep packet inspection. These technologies disguise VPN traffic to look like regular internet traffic, making it extremely difficult for firewalls or network filters to block or throttle your connection. Here’s how it works:

  • Protocol Obfuscation: OpenNet VPN supports modern protocols (like VLESS and Trojan) that can mimic normal web traffic. For example, some connections run over HTTPS ports and appear indistinguishable from ordinary secure website visits. This stealth mode allows you to slip through strict firewalls that might block known VPN connections.

  • Resistant to Blocking: Because our VPN traffic blends in with other internet traffic, even sophisticated censorship systems struggle to detect it. OpenNet VPN is designed to work in regions where standard VPNs or proxies are often blocked.

  • Seamless Experience: All this clever cloaking happens automatically. You don’t need to manually configure anything special. Simply use the provided access code with one of our supported apps, and the app will handle choosing the best protocol for your situation.

End-to-End Security

From your device to our server, all communication is secured. Once your traffic exits the VPN server to reach the public internet, it’s mixed with regular traffic. At that point, your data is still encrypted if you’re using HTTPS websites or other secure services. OpenNet VPN ensures that the vulnerable part of your connection – between you and the VPN server – is always safe and private.

In summary, OpenNet VPN works by creating a secure, encrypted link between your device and a trusted server, using advanced methods to keep that link hidden. This way, you can browse freely and securely, even on restrictive networks. The next sections of this documentation will detail the specific protocols we use and how you can set up the service on your devices.
