Where the gateways are, and how one is chosen.

Five cities on three continents, described exactly. Not “thousands of servers in a hundred countries” — a list, and how the app picks between them.

The app shows the live list with a load meter beside each entry, fetched when you sign in. A location that is full, draining, or has not reported in 90 seconds is left out, so what you see is what will accept you.

How a gateway is chosen

  • The directory is the load balancer.

    There is no box in front of the gateways. The app asks the directory, gets a list sorted by load, and connects to the gateway directly. Nothing in the middle can see or slow your packets.

  • Load is sessions over capacity.

    Each gateway reports how many sessions it is carrying every 30 seconds. The app shows that as low, busy or heavy; “Fastest available” picks the lowest.

  • Draining is graceful.

    A gateway being taken down stops accepting new sessions and keeps carrying the existing ones until they end. You do not get cut off for maintenance.

  • Every gateway is ours to run.

    Each one runs our software and nothing else, generates its own keys on first start, and keeps the same no-field-for-it counters as every other. There is no third-party VPN backend behind the list.

A network that grows carefully

Because a location that is listed has to be real: a server we run, with the same isolation and the same no-field-for-it counters as every other. Adding a city well is a commitment to keep it patched, reachable and honest. The list grows when we can make that commitment, and not before.

If there is a place you need and do not see, say so. It is the most useful thing you can tell us.
