VPN.ht Warrant Canary

Although VPN.ht is subject to Hong Kong law and not subject to laws such as the US Patriot Act, in the interests of transparency and accountability, we will be issuing a daily "warrant canary". This will protect VPN.ht users in the event we are required by law to be silent about any searches, seizures of data or requirements to log.

Special note should be taken if this messages ceased to be updated or are removed from this page.

NB:

This notice is not 100% bulletproof. It is clearly signed by us, and the idea is that, while we may be forced not to talk about an intervention, we cannot be prevented from actually remaining silent. The contrary would mean that we are forced both not to talk, and, to keep talking. Despite this non-sense, a legal onus exists and lies in whether we could be forced to keep publishing such notice no matter if it is proven false -- in other words, the question is whether we may be forced to state false information for the benefit of the underlying investigation. By deciding to move forward with this notice, VPN.ht hereby clarifies its standpoint on whether it is ready to challenge the ambiguities of the law for the sake of its customer's privacy.
