OVPN
VERIFIEDSwedish founder-owned VPN (OVPN Integrität AB, est. 2014), fully owns hardware, diskless RAM-only, court-proven no-logs, legal-fees insurance.
Why this score?
OVPN is operated by OVPN Integrität AB, a Swedish company publishing transparency reports continuously since 2014 — one of the cleanest sovereignty stories in the consumer-VPN category: fully owns its server hardware (no rented servers, no virtual machines), all VPN servers are diskless with the operating system in RAM, the no-logs policy is court-proven (an information-injunction case where OVPN simply had nothing to hand over, with legal-fees insurance to underwrite future cases), supports modern crypto (AES-256-GCM / Curve25519 / ChaCha20 / WireGuard), and runs 32 locations with IPv6. Rated 3/5: an otherwise exemplary sovereignty profile under Swedish EU jurisdiction, founder-owned, no PE / VC / parent on record — but OVPN does not publish a DPA on the site; only a privacy policy is available, with no processor agreement for EU buyers to self-serve; under EU Vetted''s rubric a DPA that small EU buyers cannot self-serve caps the score at 3/5.
