Privacy Should
Not Be A Privilege

LEAP is dedicated to giving internet users access to secure communication. We are a development shop of FLOSS advocates and practitioners. We come from international solidarity networks and are active participants in the internet freedom community. Our primary product is LEAP VPN, an open source white label VPN designed for ease of use and utility within censored environments. LEAP VPN is the shared code base for RiseupVPN, CalyxVPN, and Bitmask.

LEAP VPN

LEAP VPN is designed for mid scale deployments with a focus on supporting journalists, activists, dissidents, and human rights defenders, and their affinity networks. All our apps are 100% open source. Our entire platform orchestration system for VPN deployment is 100% open source and well documented to ease provisioning. LEAP VPN code has been third party audited by Cure53 and is fast, reliable, and easy to use. We specialize in field testing and providing censorship bypassing technology.

LEAP VPN Providers

We work with trusted service providers to build and brand their VPN service. Our trusted partners, Riseup and The Calyx Institute have a long public history of protecting their users and adhere to best practices for VPN providers.

RiseupVPN: A free service for censorship circumvention, location anonymization and traffic encryption. Unlike most free providers, Riseup does not log your IP address, or mine your data.

CalyxVPN: By encrypting and securely routing all your network traffic through Calyx’s servers, CalyxVPN is able to prevent many forms of censorship and surveillance.

Bitmask: This isn’t a provider, but it is LEAP’s very own VPN client that allows you to select from multiple service providers all from one app. Current providers include Riseup and The Calyx Institute.
