History

Initially, VeePN was available only for Windows, Android, and iOS. Early users reported inconsistent connection speeds and a limited number of servers.{{Cite web |title=VeePN Review: Is It Recommended By Us? |url=https://www.comparitech.com/vpn/reviews/veepn-review/ |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=Comparitech |language=en}} However, by the end of 2018, the provider had expanded its network to over 1,000 servers across 15 locations, while also addressing speed-related issues.

In early 2019, VeePN introduced a browser extension for Google Chrome, followed by versions for Linux and macOS. By early 2020, VeePN launched support for Smart TVs and routers, along with new browser extensions for Firefox and Opera.{{Cite web |last=ThisHosting.Rocks |date=2019-02-12 |title=VeePN Review - Quality VPN with Useful Features |url=https://thishosting.rocks/veepn-review/ |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=ThisHosting.Rocks |language=en-US}} The provider continued to expand its infrastructure, surpassing 1,800 servers across 30 locations. Midway through the year, VeePN resolved the Netflix compatibility issue and fixed a Kill Switch bug, further strengthening its reliability.

In 2021, VeePN's browser extensions underwent an external audit by a German cybersecurity firm, Cure53.{{Cite web |title=Pentest-Report VeePN Browser Extensions 03.2021 |url=https://cure53.de/pentest-report_veepn.pdf |website=Cure53 |access-date=15 April 2025}} In 2022, VeePN launched its Alternative ID service.

In early 2024, VeePN introduced a split tunneling feature and replaced their proprietary Smart VeePN protocol with the WireGuard. In October 2024, together with a tech leaker xleaks7,{{Cite news |title=xleaks7 (David Kowalski) (@xleaks7) on X |url=https://x.com/xleaks7/status/1841751916847538663 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20241003160908/https://x.com/xleaks7/status/1841751916847538663 |archive-date=2024-10-03 |access-date=2025-04-15 |work=X (formerly Twitter) |language=en}} VeePN's research team unveiled exclusive images of an aluminum dummy unit of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 smartphone.{{Cite web |last=Spence |first=Ewan |title=New Samsung Leak Confirms Galaxy S25 Ultra Design Details |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2024/10/05/samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra-design-leak-small-curve-new-galaxy-s25/ |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=Forbes |language=en}} The leak provided early insights into the device's refined ergonomics and slightly smaller dimensions compared to its predecessor.

Throughout 2024 and early 2025, VeePN introduced several feature updates and performance improvements. Key additions included Data Breach Alerts (September 2024),{{Cite web |date=2025-03-20 |title=‎VPN Service by VeePN |url=https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vpn-service-by-veepn/id1246703610 |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=App Store |language=en-US}} which allowed users to check for compromised credentials, and the Private AI Chatbot (October 2024), enabling secure, anonymized conversations.

Features

VeePN operates a network of over 2,500 servers across more than 50 locations worldwide. The server distribution includes 1,168 servers in Europe, 1,153 in the Americas, 226 in the Asia-Pacific region, and 102 in the Middle East, Africa, and India.{{Cite web |last=Rosario |first=Ryan Rommel |date=2020-04-17 |title=VeePN Review |url=https://cloudstorageinfo.org/veepn-review |access-date=2025-04-15 |language=en-US}}

The service supports up to 10 simultaneous device connections under a single subscription, with a paid option to connect up to 100 additional devices. According to its privacy policy, VeePN adheres to the No Logs policy{{Cite web |title=What is No-logs policy? - The Value of No-Logs VPNs |url=https://cyberpedia.reasonlabs.com/EN/no-logs%20policy.html |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=cyberpedia.reasonlabs.com}} and does not store browsing history, data content, traffic destinations, or DNS queries.{{Cite web |title=VeePN Privacy Policy |url=https://veepn.com/privacy-policy/ |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=veepn.com |language=en}}

VeePN incorporates multiple security measures, including 256-bit encryption, DNS leak protection, a Kill Switch, a feature responsible for ensuring that the Internet connection is automatically cut off if the VPN connection drops, and a public Wi-Fi data protection functionality. The VPN provider does not rely on external DNS providers, keeping all requests in-house. While the service offers protection against DNS leaks, there is no mention of IPv6 or WebRTC leak prevention.{{Cite web |title=VeePN VPN Review 2025: Is It Secure & Fast? |url=https://www.safetydetectives.com/best-vpns/veepn-vpn/ |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=SafetyDetectives |language=en}}

VeePN supports OpenVPN, IKEv2, and its proprietary protocols, VeePN Smart TCP and VeePN Smart UDP, designed to enhance connection stability. The built-in Kill Switch feature is included with every version of the app.{{Cite web |last=published |first=Sead Fadilpašić |date=2021-08-23 |title=VeePN VPN review |url=https://www.techradar.com/reviews/veepn-vpn |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=TechRadar |language=en}}

Additional features of VeePN include a Breach Alert, an antivirus, and a Double VPN function.{{Cite web |last=Venus |first=Cherry Ann |date=2019-03-28 |title=VeePN Review 2025 |url=https://www.technadu.com/veepn-review/63070/ |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=TechNadu |language=en-US}} The latter routes traffic through two servers instead of one, combining two encryption protocols to further obscure user activity.
