I'm BEYOND excited to finally announce Obscura.

Though useful in certain scenarios, using a traditional VPN is just handing all your data (linked to your personal information no less!) to that VPN provider instead of your ISP.

2/🧡

But your ISP is no better. Since the 2017 repeal of ISP privacy laws, they've been able to "sell Web browsing histories and other sensitive data directly to marketers, financial firms and other companies without consumers' consent"

Obscura is a VPN that:

1. Has absolutely NO ability to tie your personal information to your browsing activity.
2. Works everywhere: even on restricted networks like your coworking space or local coffee shop.

4/🧡

Obscura is in development! To be first in line when we launch, I hope you'll:

1. Join our tester community on Discord (Matrix Bridge also available), or
2. Join our waitlist (Email w/ optional PGP encryption or Nostr Encrypted DM)
