About Orchid: Secure Networking

Orchid is a VPN client, crypto-powered VPN service and advanced network security tool.

Using Orchid, you get access to a network of VPN providers all in one app. While using Orchid, you only pay for what you use. There are no monthly fees. When you turn the app off, you are not charged anything.

Orchid is an Open Source project and we respect users privacy. We have no tracking in our application.

Advantages over other VPNs:
-Disguises Internet traffic using WebRTC for firewall traversal
-No subscription! Pay for with credits, only when Orchid is running
-Change providers easily
-Built in local traffic monitoring

Why use Orchid?
-Enhance your online privacy so your Internet provider cannot monitor and sell your web browsing history
-Protect your connection when using a WiFi hotspot
-Protect your real location data from websites
-Protect your IP address from websites

Why trust Orchid?
-Open Source project on GitHub @OrchidTechnologies
-Third party audits by Certora and Consensys Diligence on all decentralized smart contracts

Our vision is to enable secure access to the internet for everyone, everywhere.
