Hi PH! I'm very excited to launch the iOS app for Serverless VPN - UpVPN! It's built using modern Apple technologies for best performance: Swift, SwiftUI, Swift Concurrency and Network Extension! - Himanshu

@gigapotential Congrats on the launch. Love it! Would you be able to comment on differences between UpVPN and MullvadVPN from a user's perspective? Is the major differentiator cost?

@mikekerzhner Thank you! Indeed, product optimizes for cost. For example, if a customer creates a VPN Session for their Web Device (a managed WireGuard-as-a-service feature) and uses it but forgets to end the session, the system automatically ends it after 24 hours of no data transfer (no WireGuard handshake). This way, there will not be any surprises of big charges, which serverless services are usually infamous for. Another major difference is that UpVPN doesn't own servers and IPs. These servers are provisioned on one of the 5 cloud providers: Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Akamai Linode, Vultr, and AWS Lightsail. Because of its serverless design, UpVPN can expand locations as more cloud providers or cloud regions becomes available, without incurring upfront costs.

Hey Himanshu, Have you noticed any significant differences in speed or reliability compared to traditional VPN architectures? It would be great to hear about any unique challenges you faced while developing this serverless solution. Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin thank you. Given that a VPN server is provisioned in one-click - there's a lot of complexity underneath that simplicity, UpVPN is built to be fault tolerant. Unlike SaaS with web app, the biggest challenge is to have native apps for many OS platforms.

UpVPN's use of serverless computing for VPN is intriguing! Have you thought about offering real-time usage tracking for users on the pay-as-you-go plan? It would help them better manage their data consumption and avoid unexpected costs.

Sounds existing @gigapotential Wish you all the best.. As these day some of the websites detect cloud/datacenter IP addresses. How do you address this? Does it has provision to select residential proxies?
Himanshu

@roopreddy thank you! The product currently only use datacenter IP, if any person familiar with cloud computing were to create their own WireGuard server then UpVPN is the most convenient option for cost + time savings. Same thing is made more accessible to broader set of consumers who are already familiar with consumer VPN.

Congratulations on the launch 🎉 UpVPN looks cool. A cost effective VPN is hard to find. I’ve been developing ConverForm.com, a conversational forms builder that turns static forms into engaging, conversational experiences—might be a great way to connect with these early adopters. All the best ahead!
