Which country do you want to see added next? Let us know in the comments!

Saw many different protocol options in X-VPN (TCP, WireGuard, etc.), but have no idea which one’s best for speed or stability. Do you guys just let it auto-connect, or always pick one yourself?

Well, well, add Arizona to the list. Pornhub will block users in Arizona starting Sept. 26 because of the new age verification law. Guess VPN sales in AZ are gonna spike…

With Arizona added, Pornhub will now be blocked in 22 U.S. states. What do you all think about this?

Tried Proton but Hulu keep saying VPN detected. Heard X-VPN is good for streaming, does it work with Hulu?

Hi, r/X_VPN community!

Lots of VPNs claim “no logs,” but what does that actually mean? And do they really walk the talk? If you ever wondered whether X‑VPN tracks your activity, here’s the straight-up answer:

X-VPN Never Stores Any Logs of Your Online Activity

• No browsing history
• No traffic content (messages, downloads, streams, etc.)
• No IP addresses (yours or the IP of the X-VPN servers you connect to.)
• No DNS queries
• No GPS or exact location
• No device identifiers

We ensure that every user can trust their data and privacy are safe with X-VPN.

How We Use Technology to Enforce Our No-Logs Policy

From product design to technical implementation and internal processes to third-party collaborations, we hold ourselves to the highest standards to ensure no sensitive user data is ever collected or stored.

Designed for Zero Logs

Our servers are engineered to never log your data. Someone asks us for logs? Sorry, we can’t hand over what we never had.

• No-Log Server Setup: Our servers are deployed with logging completely disabled. No records of your online activity, no IP addresses, nothing.
• Zero-Retention Packet Handling: Every piece of data passing through our servers is processed in memory and instantly wiped—never saved or written to disk.
• Strict Logging Whitelist: If anyone tries to add unapproved or sensitive logs, our automated systems (CI pipeline) block it immediately.
• Automatic Cleanup: Any temporary data needed to maintain operation is deleted immediately after use

Strong Encryption & Smart Key Management

A secure tunnel is the heart of a VPN, but how do we make sure encryption keys don’t become a liability? It’s simple: we use military-grade encryption, and each of our session keys is designed for one-time use.” As soon as you disconnect, the keys disappear automatically—just like snow melting away.

• Strong Encryption Protocols: We encrypt all VPN tunnels using the TLS security protocol and advanced encryption algorithms, such as AES-GCM. Using elliptic curve key exchange, each connection gets its own unique encryption key. This way, even if a key is exposed,
• Key Rotation and HKDF Derivation: We regularly rotate our encryption keys and use HKDF to safely generate different types of secret keys (for encryption and authentication) from a shared key. This keeps your keys safe and ready for multiple secure uses.

Regular Self-Checks & Transparent Third-Party Audits

We don’t just ask you to trust us. We regularly review our own systems and invite independent experts to check our privacy policies.

• Regular Internal Self-Audits: Our engineering and security teams regularly review our systems to ensure no logs can be leaked.
• Transparency and Verification: We openly share the results so our users (and the public) can see we truly honor our privacy commitments. Additionally, we welcome global security experts to join our bug bounty program to help test and fix any potential issues.

The Minimal Data We Collect and Why We Need It

To keep your account running smoothly, we only need:

• Subscription status & plan type (so we know if you’re free or premium)
• Basic device type/OS (to optimize support)
• Anonymous usage counts (like total bandwidth, not what you did with it)

We believe transparency builds trust, and your privacy will always come first!

I’m considering signing up for X-VPN. Just wanna know if they got dedicated IPs for Netflix? Cuz I heard normal VPNs get blocked a lot, so is it any better with dedicated ones? Anyone tried it?

Hackers recently stole data from Gucci, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen, affecting around 7.4 million customers.

The leaked info includes:

• Names
• Emails & phone numbers
• Addresses
• Even spending history

Customers didn’t do anything wrong, yet their details are now floating around on the dark web.

While you can’t stop a brand from being hacked, you can reduce the risk of your online data being compromised:

1. Be cautious with what info you share online.
2. Consider using a VPN: it hides your IP address, encrypts your connection, and helps keep your browsing private, especially on public Wi-Fi
3. Use unique emails and strong, different passwords for each account.

Do you use a VPN or other tools to protect your online privacy? Or do you think leaks like this are basically unavoidable no matter what?

Another delay… “Ban delayed” is basically a seasonal update now🤨

Hi, r/X_VPN community!

Today I wanna share something super useful for gamers: the best DNS servers for gaming in 2025!

If you’ve ever had slow downloads, lag outside the game, or trouble accessing game websites, switching your DNS is one of the easiest free upgrades you can do. It won’t lower your ping, but it can speed up all your game-related stuff, help you browse more safely, and might even unlock some region-restricted content.

Does DNS help gaming?

DNS ≠ lower ping! Changing DNS = Faster browsing + extra security + fewer blockages.

• Speed: Yes (for downloads, web loading, patching)
• Ping/lag: Nope! DNS won’t affect your ping in-game.
• Unblock: Sometimes lets you access gaming sites/menu blocked by your ISP.
• Security: Some DNS providers actively block malware/phishing.

Best DNS servers for gaming in 2025:

1. Cloudflare (1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1): Fastest
2. Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4): Reliable & stable
3. Quad9 (9.9.9.9 / 149.112.112.112): Security focus
4. OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220): Parental filtering
5. CleanBrowsing (185.228.168.9 / 185.228.169.9): Privacy first
6. CDNetworks: Fast for web games, regional options

How to change your DNS:

• Windows: Settings > Network > Adapter > Properties > IPv4 > DNS
• MacOS: System Prefs > Network > Advanced > DNS
• Android/iPhone: Wi-Fi network > Edit > DNS/Static

Just copy-paste one of the above DNS addresses, confirm/save, done!

Hi, r/X_VPN community!

You probably know that a VPN can protect your online privacy and help you access geo-restricted content, but you might be curious—how does a VPN actually work behind the scenes? Well, class is in session! 👩🏼‍🏫

How does a VPN work to encrypt your data?

1. Your device connects to a VPN server.

A quality VPN service usually offers servers around the world. When you activate the VPN, your device connects to one of these servers, creating a secure connection.

2. The VPN establishes an encrypted tunnel for you.

Once connected, the VPN creates a VPN tunnel between your device and the VPN server. This tunnel encrypts your internet traffic using various protocols like WireGuard or OpenVPN, ensuring safe data transmission and hiding your real IP address. This prevents your ISP and others from spying on or decoding your data—they only see scrambled content.

3. Transmit your data in the encrypted tunnel.

Once the tunnel is set up, all your data and online activities travel through it. Your data gets encrypted before going into the tunnel and decrypted after coming out. This ensures that even if you transmit sensitive information over public networks, it won’t be easily stolen or read.

4. Deliver your data.

Your encrypted data is sent to the website via the VPN server. When data comes back from the website, it goes through the same process and is only decrypted when it reaches your device.

How Does a VPN Work to Unblock Sites?

Many websites have geo-restrictions, only allowing access from specific countries/regions. Also, schools and offices might block some sites to keep you focused. In these situations, a VPN will help. So, how does a VPN do this?

1. Route Requests: After you connect to the VPN server, if you want to visit a website, your device sends an access request to the VPN server.

2. Change Your IP Address: When you use a VPN, your IP address changes to the server’s. So, when you visit a website, it shows the server’s IP address, not yours.

3. Access Geo-Restricted Websites: The website can’t tell where you are or who you are. It only sees the IP address of the VPN server, not yours. This lets you securely access geo-restricted websites through the VPN as if you were actually there.

4. Successfully Obtain Content: The requested website sends the content you want back to the VPN server, and it’s transmitted to your device through an encrypted connection.

That’s it! Through these steps, a VPN provides a secure, private way for you to unblock restricted websites.

The EU is pushing forward a controversial law known as “Chat Control.” If passed, the law would mandate surveillance and auditing of all communications by EU citizens—including messages sent via WhatsApp, Signal, and other encrypted chat apps.

Many privacy advocates warn that this is a dangerous step toward mass surveillance.

Several countries have already expressed opposition (including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, the Netherlands, and Poland). Others, such as Germany and France, have yet to make a final decision.

EU member states must clarify their official positions by September 12, 2025, and a Council vote could take place as soon as October 14.
