We have implemented a multi-layered security model to protect our customers. The first layer is the physical security of our servers, and that's why we never rent virtual or dedicated servers.
Besides all of the security benefits of colocating equipment instead of renting dedicated or virtual servers, colocation also enables us to use hardware with specialized benefits for OpenVPN & WireGuard.
That's why we have deployed the following hardware to Oslo:
The picture is of our VPN servers in the rack cabinet. They all operate without hard drives.
We're currently renting 10 height units in Verizon's data center on Hans Møller Gasmanns gata 9. As of now, we have a 3 Gbit/s uplink to Obenetwork's network. The current transit and peering capabilities are Telenor, NIX & FIXO.
When connecting to any of our 3 VPN servers in Oslo, your IP address will be hidden and you'll receive one of our Norwegian IP addresses. Devices that connect to our standard service are assigned a shared IP address (NAT).
If you're running Plex, a mail server, website or another type of service that require multiple ports to be opened, we also offer public IPv4 addresses as an add-on.
Oslo supports both OpenVPN and WireGuard, enabling you to choose whichever VPN protocol that fits your needs the best.
OVPN's core focus is privacy and integrity. We do understand that our service is also used to circumvent geographical restrictions and access streaming services.
We have developed functionality to make sure that we can circumvent blocks by streaming providers as a result of that.
Due to those efforts, our Norwegian IP addresses shouldn't be blocked by streaming providers. If you're attempting to use a streaming provider that's blocked, please let us know and we'll attempt to fix it.
You can connect to our servers on a multitude of different platforms and operating systems. In case you're using Windows, macOS or Ubuntu we recommend our desktop client.
It's possible to set up a lot of different devices though so they all get a Norwegian IP address. See our guides for more information.
Our VPN server network is constantly expanding. These are our current locations per Apr 19, 2024.
