Brave VPN currently offers 300+ servers in 40+ regions, including: USA (Northwest) Brave VPN is powered by Guardian . Guardian is a tracker-blocking VPN infrastructure, designed by iOS security researchers to block more identifiers than just your IP address. Through Guardian’s backbone, Brave VPN offers high-speed VPN coverage in many regions around the world. If you need help with Brave VPN, contact Brave’s support team . Brave VPN is offered via a partnership with Guardian, which undergoes regular third-party audits by trusted security firms. The initial software security audit occurred in February 2024 and the initial infrastructure security audit occurred in April 2024. These audits help verify that Brave VPN practices and production configurations align with our stringent stance on data privacy. Guardian shares these reports in full in order to provide as much transparency as possible to end users. Brave does not log or otherwise keep any record of user activity—that means no logging of traffic, DNS requests, connection data, IP addresses, or bandwidth. As an additional precaution, the “journald” process on all production VPN nodes is configured to not store any form of log data in a persistent manner.

By design, it’s impossible for Brave to discover anything about your VPN usage other than the fact that a particular email address purchased a subscription. In fact, Brave can’t even tell if you’ve ever used the VPN. The only information Brave ever sees is the email address you sign up with and your payment method (which is processed and protected according to CCPA , GDPR , and other relevant privacy legislation). See Guardian’s full no-logs policy for more information. Brave VPN uses a unique credentialing method that allows us to see if an email address has an active Brave VPN subscription, and nothing more. Brave is unable to tell when—or even if—you connect to the VPN. That means it’s impossible for us to know who connects, when they connect, or what/how much data they transmit. Check our no-logs policy for more information. On desktop (or for subscriptions purchased on a mobile device via our desktop account portal), you’ll need an email address, payment method, and billing address to start a subscription. However, this information is stored on Stripe’s servers, not on Brave’s; the only info Brave uses to authenticate you into the VPN is the email address you sign up with, and whether or not your subscription is active. For purchases made via the mobile app stores, whatever billing/account info is required by the app stores is sufficient to subscribe to Brave VPN—and this info (e.g. payment method and billing address) are handled by the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. Your billing info may be stored by the merchant you complete your purchase with, but never on Brave’s servers. We cannot link the use of Brave VPN to any individual. Brave relies on Guardian’s infrastructure which uses physical servers running hypervisor software to support several virtual machine (VM) instances on each piece of hardware. For security purposes, Guardian does not use VMs in environments where it does not also control the bare-metal server running the hypervisor software; Guardian always retains exclusive control over the physical servers. In contrast to using diskless servers, we opt for an independent and ephemeral credential store on each VPN server, generated based on the validation of a cryptographically-signed “proof of purchase” data blob from a separate authentication server. No user-attributable information is stored on the VPN server or is accessible by the VPN server in this process. With a diskless approach, the lack of persistent storage often means that each VPN server would need to have direct access to common central authentication server(s). We opt to instead ensure that any persistent data is not useful for user identification in the first place. Brave VPN is powered by Guardian’s infrastructure of extremely fast, state-of-the-art VPN servers. Most servers in the network have an uplink speed of 10 Gbps. However, unlike most other VPN providers, we’re honest with our users that those speeds aren’t realistic under everyday circumstances. Under realistic conditions, when multiple users send their Internet traffic through Brave VPN servers at once, you can reliably expect to achieve speeds of up to 500 Mbps, depending on your default Internet connection speeds.
