VeePN
[edit]VeePN is a virtual private network (VPN) service operated by VeePN Corporation, a company registered in Panama. The service was launched in 2017 and provides VPN applications for desktop and mobile operating systems, as well as browser extensions.[1]
History
[edit]VeePN debuted as a mobile VPN service in 2017.[1] It subsequently expanded to desktop operating systems and browser extensions. By 2021, PCWorld reported that the service operated more than 2,600 servers across 52 countries and supported Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and Linux, as well as routers and set-top boxes.[1]
In 2021, cybersecurity company Cure53 conducted a five-day security assessment of VeePN's browser extensions for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.[2]
Security assessment
[edit]The 2021 Cure53 assessment examined VeePN's Chrome and Firefox extensions for security issues including injection vulnerabilities, proxy bypasses, information leaks and WebRTC-related issues.[2]
The assessment identified a configuration issue involving a Squid proxy that could expose a user's IP address, as well as two lower-severity implementation issues. According to Cure53's report, VeePN addressed the reported issues during the assessment and the fixes were subsequently verified by Cure53.[2]
2022 copyright lawsuit
[edit]In July 2022, a group of film companies, including Voltage Holdings and Screen Media Ventures, filed a copyright lawsuit against VeePN Corporation in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.[3][4] The plaintiffs alleged that VeePN had contributed to copyright infringement and used trademarks associated with piracy-related services in its promotional material.[3]
Later that month, the court issued a temporary restraining order in the case.[5]
The dispute was subsequently settled. VeePN agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to block BitTorrent traffic on its U.S. servers and restrict access through those servers to certain piracy-related websites.[6]
Reception
[edit]Technology publications have tested VeePN's performance, privacy features and applications. PCWorld's 2021 review described the service as offering broad device support and long-term subscription options, while reporting comparatively low speeds in its performance testing.[1]
TechRadar tested VeePN's applications, privacy protections, connection speeds and streaming capabilities. Its testing identified inconsistent speeds and issues with the kill switch under some failure conditions.[7]
