I’m incredibly lucky to have the help of a crack\(ed\) team of privacy optimists to build Obscura\. Among us, we’ve served on the Nix RFC Steering Committee, implemented the 64bit random number generator for the Go standard library, fixed critical vulnerabilities for hardware security tokens, won bounties for Monero bugs, and contributed to Bitcoin for reproducible builds\. But while privacy and digital sovereignty in some worlds has made leaps and bounds, VPNs have been left behind; peddling privacy based on promises instead of privacy baked into the architecture\. So we’re taking our skills to build Obscura: a VPN you can depend on to get the most out of our glorious digital commons – the internet\. It’s the VPN we’ve always wanted to use, and it’s the kind of privacy we believe everyone should have access to\. Thanks for reading – ping me at[carl@obscura\.net](mailto:[email protected])for any questions, and I’ll see you on the free and open internet\. 🏄 Cheers, **Carl Dong** *I fight for the users\.* Our team learning laser\-cutting at the NYC Resistor hackerspace ## Internet freedomstarts here\.
