OVPN

VERIFIED
VPN · Sweden
Founded 2014 · ovpn.com ↗

Swedish founder-owned VPN (OVPN Integrität AB, est. 2014), fully owns hardware, diskless RAM-only, court-proven no-logs, legal-fees insurance.

In short

OVPN, in the VPN category, is an EU-owned service with Sweden as its hosting location and no identified CLOUD Act exposure.

Assessment notes

OVPN is operated by OVPN Integrität AB, a Swedish company publishing transparency reports continuously since 2014. One of the cleanest sovereignty stories in the consumer-VPN category: fully owns its server hardware (no rented servers, no virtual machines), all VPN servers are diskless with the operating system in RAM, the no-logs policy is court-proven (an information-injunction case where OVPN simply had nothing to hand over, with legal-fees insurance to underwrite future cases), supports modern crypto (AES-256-GCM / Curve25519 / ChaCha20 / WireGuard), and runs 32 locations with IPv6. EU-owned and EU-incorporated under Swedish jurisdiction, no CLOUD Act exposure, no PE / VC / parent on record. An exemplary sovereignty profile on ownership, jurisdiction, and no-logs architecture. Signal gap: OVPN does not publish a DPA on the site; only a privacy policy is available, with no processor agreement for EU buyers to self-serve.

OVERVIEW

About OVPN

OVPN is operated by OVPN Integrität AB, a Swedish company that has been publishing transparency reports continuously since 2014. It is one of the cleanest small-vendor listings in the consumer-VPN category, and the structural details are what set it apart from larger competitors. OVPN fully owns its server hardware: there are no rented servers and no virtual machines anywhere in the fleet, which removes a class of supply-chain and shared-tenancy risk that almost every other VPN provider accepts. All VPN servers are diskless and run their operating system from RAM, so there is no persistent storage on the hardware that could be seized.

The no-logs claim is unusually well-evidenced. Where most VPN providers point at an annual third-party audit, OVPN has the policy legally tested: in an information-injunction case the company was able to demonstrate it had no data to hand over, and OVPN now carries insurance to cover legal fees for future similar cases, a level of structural commitment to non-retention that mirrors Mullvad's culture in the same Swedish jurisdiction. Encryption is modern across the board: AES-256-GCM with OpenVPN, Curve25519 + ChaCha20 with WireGuard. The fleet covers 32 cities globally with full IPv6 support, multihop, port forwarding (up to 7 ports in the 49152-65535 range), and an optional public IPv4 add-on.

For an EU-sovereignty audit OVPN is a top-tier pick alongside Mullvad in the same Swedish jurisdiction. It is founder-owned, EU-incorporated, has no US parent, no US VC, no PE, and the owned-hardware + diskless + court-proven posture is structurally as strong as anything in the category. It is genuinely under-known compared to NordVPN/Surfshark/CyberGhost, which is precisely the kind of listing this directory exists to surface.

Pricing is paid-only with a 10-day money-back guarantee: 1-month €12, 1-year €4.99/month, 3-year €4.22/month (the long-commitment best-value tier). UI languages: English, Swedish, German, Norwegian. Best fit: privacy-maximalist EU buyers who want a small, owner-operated, structurally-sound Swedish provider with court-tested no-logs, and who prefer "we own everything and it's all in RAM" over a marketing-heavy mainstream brand.
