With the SPN you protect all your connections from mass surveillance. Prevent all Internet Service Providers from collecting and selling your private activities.

Seek true privacy. Do not overlook meta-data: which websites you visit and how frequently tell more about you than knowing what you actually do on them.
Re-route all your connections through our multi-hop network to decouple your identity from the destination. With onion-encryption, no single party knows who you are and where you are going to. Inspired by Tor.
With the SPN, your meta-data is stripped to a minimum. Abstracting even the size of outgoing packets to diminish what information third parties, like your ISP or the Wi-Fi operator of your local coffee place, can gather about you.
Instead of exiting all your traffic at one place, route every connection individually to spread your connections across the globe. Use vast amounts of identities (IP addresses) and limit your visibility in the "open" web.

The SPN is currently in a closed pre-alpha with our earliest Kickstarter backers (MARVIN & VISIONARY).
There are two key factors. The most important metric is development: the faster we progress the faster you get access. From our recent experience with the Portmaster, we know it will take weeks or months until it matures enough to progress into the "alpha" stage. The second key factor is your place in the waitlist. Everyone who pre-ordered got enqueued and we will gradually let more people into the network. Feel free to pre-order too or wait until we open the network for instant access.
The SPN is heavily inspired by Tor, but the mission is different. Next to tightly integrating with other privacy modules, the main focus of the SPN is easy protection for your whole computer, not just your browser. Additionally it spreads your connections across the globe instead of routing everything through the same circuit.
The VPN technology was built to securely connect two company locations. However, the SPN was developed from the ground up to protect user privacy. As a result the SPN can easily outperform VPNs in every aspect.
Yes, when enabled the Portmaster routes all Internet connections through the Safing Privacy Network.
Yes. Every connection is routed separately, giving you a vast amount of identities (IP addresses).

No, it routes every connection individually. So as an example, when you open several websites in different tabs in your browser, every connection will be calculated individually.
No. This is just one piece of the puzzle. The SPN only protects your IP-address from exposure, but there are still many other ways services can track and identify you. These include fingerprinting (mostly in browsers), authentication (when logged in to a service), mouse movements (malicious javascripts), etc...
Yes, this is just one piece of the puzzle. There are multiple ways services track you, like browser fingerprinting, malicious javascripts, etc... And if you log into services, such as your Google account, they will mostly still know it is you, even though you protect your IP address.
The SPN reroutes all your computers connections, including those of your browser.
Yes. All serious websites use secure https connections, which encrypts the content of your connection (like login credentials) before the Portmaster wraps them in onion encryption. So no ISP architecture or SPN exit node will be able to manipulate that data. It is protected by https all the way to the destination server.
Since the SPN is integrated into the Portmaster, for our the pre-alpha stage we will only support Windows and Linux. Mac and Mobile are planned, but are further down the road.
No. Providing the network costs us money, so we charge accordingly. However, the privacy filter and DNS Resolver, which add a great value to your privacy, are and will remain free to use.
You can find our code on Github. The Portmaster, the Portmaster UI and this website have their respective repositories. Jess, the heart of the SPN, which got audited by Cure53, is also already online. The rest of the SPN will follow suit as we go live.
