Anonymous VPNs – Company Overview

Founded: 2013
Headquarters: Remote-first, with contributors across the globe
Focus Areas: Online privacy, VPN auditing, digital security education

Overview

Anonymous VPNs began in 2013 as a no-frills, privacy-first VPN provider aimed at users looking to shield themselves from mass surveillance, ISPs, and government overreach. Rooted in principles of anonymity, data minimization, and resistance to censorship, the company quickly gained a loyal user base among digital rights advocates and journalists.

By 2018, recognizing the influx of VPN services and the lack of transparency in the industry, Anonymous VPNs pivoted. Instead of offering its own services, it began auditing, testing, and recommending other privacy-focused tools — especially VPNs claiming “no-log” policies or robust WireGuard implementations.

Core Values and Work

• VPN Auditing: The company conducts independent reviews of VPN services with a sharp focus on jurisdiction (especially avoiding companies under 5/9/14 Eyes alliances), logging practices, encryption protocols, and source code transparency.
• Advocacy: It actively publishes guides and editorial content to help users avoid digital exploitation and increase awareness around surveillance capitalism.
• WireGuard Advocacy: Promotes open-source, fast, and secure tunneling protocols like WireGuard as alternatives to outdated standards like PPTP or L2TP.
• No-Logs Verification: Supports community-led and third-party audits to hold VPN services accountable for their “no logs” claims.

Mission Statement

At AnonymousVPNs.com, our mission is to help users reclaim digital autonomy by advocating for privacy-respecting technologies, exposing insecure practices, and championing a more ethical and decentralized internet.

We empower individuals to resist surveillance, avoid data exploitation, and protect their anonymity online. Through in-depth research, practical tools, and transparent analysis, we shine a light on the hidden risks of VPN logging, data brokers, censorship laws, and invasive ID systems. We promote open-source solutions, no-logs policies, and privacy-first design — because staying anonymous shouldn’t mean placing blind trust. It should mean taking control.

About our team

We were fortunate to grow up during the early days of the internet — a time when the web was truly open, privacy was the norm, and tracking was rare. Today, we find ourselves in a digital landscape dominated by social media platforms and search giants, where personal data is commodified and government overreach threatens to restrict our freedoms online. We are passionate advocates for the open, private and anonymous internet.

We’re all geeks at heart, the kind of people wandering around in “I Void Warranties” tshirts, who would rather spend 3 hours automating a light bulb than have to reach for a switch and
