We’re rebuilding the internet so that you can say goodbye to your VPN and never again make the tradeoff between the content you want and privacy. Introducing URnetwork, a decentralized network powered by direct connections to people around you.
Simple to use. Elegant technology. A pure value-add that puts your interests and privacy first. A unique product in an age of invasive and exploitative data harvesting applications.
I use it every day! No BS, just pure privacy, security, and availability no matter where I go.
Seamless and simple. definitely the best privacy and security app i have used in a long time

Hi I'm Brien, the founder and one of the builders at URnetwork. I was one of first 20 engineers at Palantir and have been building global infrastructure for over a decade. I started working on URnetwork out of a WeWork in Palo Alto, exploring the idea that a massively distributed, four-nines reliable network can be built with commodity hardware to be the most private, available, and secure network for everyday people. Along the way we've questioned every assumption and developed key innovations that scale to millions of users. With URnetwork you don't need to trust some company with your data. Instead we use transparency and better protocols to prove it.
Why does it matter?
I believe we all deserve an Internet that is inclusive, expressive, and free.
The commercialization of people of the Internet has been increasing for decades, and people are now targeted for maximum value extraction in every interaction. The incentive of the internet is no longer to be of service to people. People simply haven't had the tools to make a different choice.
I believe an anonymous, unfiltered, secure network will lead to a better Internet for people.
The goal of URnetwork is to make this new network private, available, and secure for everyone, anywhere. We have the power in our devices to create a better internet, we just have to turn it on.
I hope you'll give URnetwork a try!
@urbrien really impressive i want ask that its paid or any trial?

I dig the branding and aesthetic.
I'm highly skeptical of most VPNs. You're trusting them with a ton of data and who knows what backdoors they might not even know about. But I don't think most consumers think about this.
@urbrien is this primarily targeted to the early adopter, tech crowd?
URnetwork
@rrhoover Agreed the sketch of most VPNs is exactly why I started the project. There's a more transparent way to have a good business in this space. Regarding audience, anyone who uses a VPN for content, availability, privacy, and/or security would find URnetwork a good alternative. We're trying to make it easy and understandable for normal people.

@rrhoover Thanks Ryan! One of the primary reasons for building URnetwork is to provide the best transparent, open-source alternative to some of these shady VPN companies. No user logs, simply private internet.
We're looking to onboard users who want an easy-to-use VPN, but don't want their internet data collected by sketchy VPN companies. Some of the most popular VPN apps can feel confusing and clunky. Easily accessing private internet with the click of a button is really important for us.
