PrivadoVPN

PrivadoVPN is a Swiss-based virtual private network service founded in 2019. It is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, a jurisdiction renowned for its robust data protection and privacy laws. The service was initially launched by Privado Networks AG as an enterprise-grade solution before expanding into the consumer market later that same year.

In early 2026, the company announced plans to transition some operations to Iceland in response to evolving surveillance regulations in Switzerland, though it maintains its primary legal base in Zug. While there are some industry discussions regarding historical ties to larger network groups like NetProtect or Ziff Davis through infrastructure partnerships (WLVPN), Privado Networks AG remains the official owner and operator. The brand distinguishes itself through a generous free tier and a commitment to a zero-logs policy under Swiss jurisdiction.
