ProxysVPN for the press

A page for journalists and researchers: the facts about the service and the company in one list, what we can show and whom to write to. No advertising: only what we can back up.

Figures as of September 2026, from our own database. The page is updated when the facts change.

Facts

What it is
A VPN service with its own apps for computers, phones and TVs. The app encrypts the connection between the device and our server, and the server reaches the internet from the chosen country.
Who makes it
Watafast LLC, a company registered in Wyoming (USA). It owns the service and publishes the apps. There are no outside investors.
Size
About 3,000 active devices and about 1,400 paying accounts by our own database as of September 2026.
Apps
Our own apps for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android; test versions for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Vision Pro; builds for the Steam Deck, Meta Quest and Steam Frame.
Protocol
WataFast, our own protocol written from scratch in Rust, about 50,800 lines. One session runs over several connections at once and survives their loss, the handshake is hybrid post-quantum, and a real website answers at the server's address. The technical paper is public, linked below.
Data
The apps tell us which ways of connecting worked on which network, with no device address, no visited sites and no server addresses. From these reports we build a summary by operator and region that we can show journalists.
Founder
evilork, the author of the protocol and the sole owner of the company. Published under this name; the legal name is confirmed to an editor in person, off the record.
Contact
Press mail is read by the founder. We answer within a day, in Russian or English: hello@wata.fast

What we can offer

  • A summary of the device reports: which operators and regions interfered with which ways of connecting, and on which days. Anonymised, on request, with an explanation of what the figures mean and what they do not.
  • An interview by voice or in writing, in Russian or English, under the name evilork.
  • A comment on, or a check of, news about network filtering: we confirm or refute it from our own devices' data.
  • The technical paper on the WataFast protocol and an engineer's answers to questions about it.
  • Screenshots of the app and the logo, further down this page.

What we ask

  • The byline is evilork, with no legal name, place of residence or photograph.
  • No server addresses and no technical details that help filtering. We do not hand them out either.
  • Figures only with their date: they change, and we state them that way ourselves.
