Providing journalists with anonymity in areas of conflict
At Le VPN, we understand that journalists in crisis-hit regions may need to keep their online identity hidden due to heavy internet censorship controls - and we want to help.
When you visit a country in crisis or with heavy censorship, you can connect to a Le VPN server location in a nearby country, and you'll be assigned an anonymous IP address that cannot be used to identify you. Your traffic is encrypted end to end, so local ISPs and snoopers can't see what you're accessing or trace it back to you.
How we're supporting journalists
We're giving journalists full complimentary access to Le VPN to show our support. This ensures journalism coverage isn't hindered by locked-down websites and applications in many regions, and helps hide your online identity so local ISPs and snoopers can't spy on your connection.
We're open to building relationships with media outlets worldwide, and we're already working with organisations like Reporters Without Borders. If you think you're eligible for a journalism VPN account, we'd like to hear from you.
