What this means
A warrant canary is a transparency mechanism. If this page is removed, stops being updated, or any of the above statements are removed, it may indicate that we have received a legally binding order that prevents us from disclosing its existence.
Our architecture
Even if compelled, our zero-knowledge architecture means we have minimal data to provide. Ghost tier accounts store only: a random account ID, an expiry timestamp, and a WireGuard public key. We do not log traffic, DNS queries, connection timestamps, source IP addresses, or browsing history for any tier.
Update schedule
This canary is updated on the last day of each month. If no update appears within 35 days of the last update, assume the canary is dead.
