About this app

RiseupVPN is open source, fast, secure, super easy to use, and free! You just install it and run it—zero configuration, zero registration. RiseupVPN does not require a user account, keep logs, or track you in any way.

VPNs help protect your privacy and secure your online activity, but it’s super important to use a trusted VPN provider. Riseup has been providing secure communications for decades and is a well respected and trusted provider of online communication tools (https://riseup.net).

– is third-party audited and uses only open source technology
– encrypts and protects your traffic from the spying eyes of your internet service provider
– secures your browsing traffic on public and private Wi-Fi networks
– hides your IP and your real location from websites and online services

DEVELOPED BY OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS, LEAP

RiseupVPN is developed by our trusted partner, LEAP Encryption Access Project. Founded in 2012, LEAP is dedicated to giving all internet users access to secure communication. There are many fronts in the fight against the enclosure of the internet and the relentless efforts to surveil and monetize our lives. LEAP is part of the growing effort to expand the use of circumvention technology to protect us from government and corporate incursion into our online lives. https://leap.se

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRUSTED VPNs

At Riseup, we believe it is important for everyone to use some technology like VPN or Tor to encrypt their internet traffic. Why? Because the internet is being broken by governments, internet service providers (ISPs), and corporations.

Used to work without issue and now unfortunately cannot connect at all. Updating certificate when prompted doesn't actually update, just sends into a loading loop with no resolution. Shows key icon in upper notification bar while in loading loop and prevents any connectivity at all. Will wait up to 20 minutes, still no connection. Haven't been able to connect at all for several months now.
