TorrentFreak spotlights VP.neta brand-new service from Private Internet Access founder Andrew Lee (the guy who gifted Linux Journal to Slashdot) that eliminates the classic “just trust your VPN” problem by locking identity-mapping and traffic-handling inside Intel SGX enclaves.
The company promises ‘cryptographically verifiable privacy’ by using special hardware ‘safes’ (Intel SGX), so even the provider can’t track what its users are up to.
The design goal is that no one, not even the VPN company, can link “User X” to “Website Y.”
Lee frames it as enabling agency over one’s privacy:
“Our zero trust solution does not require you to trust us – and that’s how it should be. Your privacy should be up to your choice – not up to some random VPN provider in some random foreign country.”
The team behind VP.net includes CEO Matt Kim as well as arguably the first Bitcoin veterans Roger Ver and Mark Karpeles.
