About

Amnezia VPN is an open-source client for using VPN services or setting up a VPN server on a server the user controls. The self-hosted setup connects to a VPS over SSH, installs Docker and runs separate containers for protocol connections. It supports OpenVPN, OpenVPN over Cloak, WireGuard, AmneziaWG, IKEV2, XRay Reality and ShadowSocks. AmneziaWG adds protection against detection and blocking. Split tunneling is available across Android, Windows, iOS, macOS and Linux, with app-level support varying by platform. Amnezia Free reaches Instagram, Facebook, X and other blocked resources, but not YouTube; speeds are limited to 8 Mbps and locations cannot be selected. Premium offers 20 connection locations, streaming support and P2P on its Switzerland location, with up to seven devices at once. Premium says it does not retain visited sites, IP addresses or session data, and its servers are RAM-only. The client and server are open source. Premium starts at $3.30 USD per month; a 7-day trial is listed.
