Advanced Security Features

Perfect Forward Secrecy

Each session uses unique encryption keys that cannot decrypt past or future sessions

Implementation

Automatic key rotation every 24 hours or 1GB of data

Kill Switch

Automatically blocks internet access if VPN connection drops unexpectedly

Implementation

Network firewall rules prevent data leakage

DNS Leak Protection

Ensures all DNS queries are routed through VPN to prevent location exposure

Implementation

Custom DNS servers with DoH/DoT support

Zero-Logs Policy

No logging of user activity, connection times, or traffic data

Implementation

RAM-only servers with automatic data wiping
