Lantern: Fast, Secure VPN
Nonprofit. Open source. Fast.
Free · In‑App Purchases
A nonprofit building tools for an open internet
We're a nonprofit with one mission: keeping the internet open for everyone, everywhere. We've spent 12 years developing connection technologies in the world's most demanding network environments. Every Pro subscription directly funds access for people who need it most.
Most "free" VPNs want your email before you've even tried them. We don't. No account. No credit card. Just download and connect.
Your server, your rules
Want zero middlemen? Host your own VPN server on infrastructure you control. Your traffic, your hardware, your rules. Setup takes minutes.
Or connect through Lantern's global network. Either way, you're in control.
Engineered for reliability
We've spent 12 years building connection tools for the hardest network conditions on the planet. That work shows up everywhere: more protocols than typical VPNs, smarter routing, fewer dropped connections. When standard approaches don't work, Lantern has alternatives ready.

• Strict no-logs policy

Honest about what VPNs do
We don't sell fear. VPNs protect your privacy and help you access the internet freely. No hype. Just protection that works.
