About VPN Guild

VPN Guild is a newly established association dedicated to advocating for secure, private, and unrestricted internet access worldwide. Formed in response to increasing internet censorship, we unite VPN application developers committed to digital freedom.

Why We Do It

In countries with restricted freedoms, governments have been blocking access to thousands of websites, independent media outlets, and social media platforms. Major tech companies have been pressured to remove Virtual Private Network (VPN) apps from their app stores, limiting people’s ability to access independent information and communicate securely.

We believe that VPNs are essential tools that help individuals bypass censorship, protect their privacy, and exercise their rights to freedom of expression and access to information. The removal of VPN apps not only infringes on these rights but also hampers the work of journalists, activists, and civil society organizations.

Our Goals

Protect Digital Rights. Advocate for users’ rights to freely and securely access information online.

Promote Transparency and Accountability. Encourage technology companies to adopt policies that respect user privacy and freedom.

Strengthen Collaboration. Unite stakeholders across various sectors to amplify efforts against internet censorship.

Key Activities

We are forming alliances with international human rights organizations and expert networks. By bringing together VPN developers, human rights activists and cybersecurity experts, we aim to create a unified front to challenge internet censorship and promote digital rights.

Advocacy and coalition building

Engagement with technology companies

A primary focus is addressing the role of major tech companies in enabling censorship. We are advocating for policy changes at gatekeeper companies like Apple and Google, urging them to resist unlawful government demands that infringe on human rights. Our efforts include research, open letters, and establishing ongoing dialogue to promote transparency and accountability.

Legal action

Capacity building

Recognizing the power of legal avenues, we are exploring litigation options to challenge unlawful censorship practices. We aim to hold both governments and corporations accountable for violations of digital rights.

At VPN Guild, we believe in the power of collaboration and shared knowledge. By joining the association, members gain access to a network of professionals and organizations dedicated to internet freedom.

Get Involved

We invite VPN developers, cybersecurity professionals, human rights advocates, and all stakeholders committed to a free and open internet to join us. By becoming a member or partner of VPN Guild, you will be part of a crucial movement to defend internet freedom at a time when it is under significant threat.
