Perk #1
Unblocking
Regain your freedom of internet if your country blocks access to essential services.
Perk #2
Domain Privacy
Prevent your ISP (Internet Service Provider) from being able to collect which domains you visit, and using that data to build a profile on you to be sold.
Perk #3
Torrent Privacy
Prevent your torrent history from being public information, which anyone can see.
Unsupported
Region Spoofing
Access content that is not available in your own region, by appearing as though you are in another region.
Domain Privacy (Explained)
Conventional VPN providers try to create this impression that yourISPcan see everything you do, and that you're completely exposed without a VPN. This is actually misleading.
Nobody can see the actual content or full URL thanks toHTTPS/TLS, only the domain names are exposed - otherwise data packets can't be delivered, like an envelope without an address. For example, if you visitedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewf-8rx9_uQ, no intermediary can see which page you visited specifically - they only know you visitedyoutube.com. Even withEncrypted DNS, domain names are still exposed, like via theSNIfield in theTLShandshake.
If you don't want yourISPor network admin (e.g. a hotel) knowing which domains you are visiting, a VPN revokes their ability to see that. This is because the data packets get encrypted and put in another data packet, with the VPN server as the address. In this sense, a VPN server works just like a package forwarding service, relaying the inner packet for you.
Torrent Privacy (Explained)
If you download torrents from public trackers, your torrent activity becomes public knowledge. Anyone who is on your home WiFi (like friends or family), or who knows your home IP address (like yourISP), can see what has been downloaded from there, whether it's a Linux ISO or a public domain film. This moves that activity away from your own IP address, because now your torrents are downloaded / uploaded through the VPN server, along with everyone else's torrents.
A VPN is the right tool for casual torrenting from public trackers. If your torrenting needs become heavier (say, over 500GB a month consistently), or you use private trackers, a VPN stops being the right tool for the job, and what you want is a seedbox instead.
Region Spoofing (Explained)
Region Spoofing is unsupported because it depends on how hard the service tries to block VPNs, which is easy to do properly from their position, since they are the destination (not an intermediary). A quick IP address lookup will show your request is coming from a datacenter, and VPN servers tend to live in datacenters, unlike actual people.
Additionally, fingerprinting makes it easy for services to know “it's still you” even if you enable a VPN, so it's easy to flag anyone who's IP address has suddenly changed countries in an unrealistic amount of time. For this reason we cannot officially support region spoofing, because we cannot guarantee every service will be accessible.

We Don't Mislead
Many VPN providers are morally bankrupt. They say they value your privacy, and then fill their own websites with trackers. They sponsor countless YouTubers to perpetuate their misleading marketing. And the review sites which rate them highly are either owned or paid for by them. In our view, such practices go against the foundation of what a VPN provider is supposed to be - trustworthy.
Edge #2
We Don't Overcharge
Conventional VPNs are often overpriced, even with their discounts on long-term plans. They jack up their 1-month plan to make their 2-year plan look like a better deal, just to lock you in. We don't do this. Our goal is to provide premium-level performance at an affordable price, to make VPNs accessible to everyone.
Edge #3
We Made Jurisdiction Irrelevant
Some VPN providers like to market their jurisdiction as a selling point, relying on their country's privacy laws. But laws inevitably change. We don't need to hide behind a country's laws, because we don't rely on those laws to safeguard your privacy. We created Cloak Engaged as a zero-knowledge system, by deciding that having nothing to protect in the first place is far better than keeping some data on you and needing to rely on an external padlock like legal jurisdiction. Simply put, we could hand over whatever we have to anyone if compelled - and they would still have nothing.
Edge #4
Kill Switch
We are not currently mandated by any government or legal authority to keep any kind of logs. But laws are always changing. In the unlikely (though not impossible) event that a legal mandate requires us to change things in a way that goes against our values of privacy and transparency, along with a gag-order, let's just say it's not impossible that we deploy an accidental bug that refunds everyone's subscriptions and makes the system unusable. Because, seppuku is better than becoming what one sought to fight against.
Edge #5
No DNS Leaks
With our VPN enabled, even when devices were going in and out of WiFi coverage, or switching between WiFi and cellular, or left all-day and all-night with the VPN enabled, we found no DNS leaks in our testing. You are welcome to test this yourself using tools like dnsleaktest or ipleak.
Edge #6
No Apps
Conventional VPNs have an app, with one button you press to connect you to a VPN server, which gives access to all servers in all regions. This is actually a vulnerability, as it exposes the IP addresses of VPN servers, which makes them easy to block. Because all it takes is one government official to attach a network sniffer to a device while using the VPN app, and collect the IP addresses of the routing servers, and then block them for everyone. So while this design may be convenient for some, it makes things harder for people in countries that actually need a VPN, which is why we don't do it.
Since our supported use cases don't require having instant access to a multitude of regions, you get VPN passes that are assigned to designated VPN servers. And those passes can be put on any device using the open-source WireGuard app which is available on all platforms.
