rVPN – stealth VPN with end-to-end encryption

rVPN hides your traffic as ordinary HTTPS so it works even where VPNs are blocked

rVPN is an open-source AGPLv3 stealth VPN that disguises traffic as normal HTTPS on port 443, making it undetectable to censors. Its Rust core uses a Double Ratchet for forward secrecy and answers active probes with a decoy website. Pooled multiplexing keeps connections few and ordinary, while reproducible builds let anyone verify the code matches the release.

We believe privacy should be proven, not promised.

    Not sure why you'd vibe-code a new VPN protocol, double ratchet or otherwise, when you can just take WireGuard and make a new transport for it.

    WireGuard by itself is not a stealth VPN, but the things that make a VPN "stealthy" are all things you'd layer on top of a WireGuard design, not thread through the middle of it. A datagram-based protocol can run under any obscured transport.

    We did this at Fly.io when we discovered that, for one reason or another, 5% of our users simply couldn't reliably use UDP. It was a one-day project to run it under WebSockets instead, and that was before coding agents.

    Hmm... It just ain't true.

    Proxyguard already fills this niche using Wireguard over HTTPS and is not a vibe-coded project.

    I discovered recently Three UK is slowing down port 443, and if I started using 2000-3000 port range it increased my speeds 10x
