Project V: five years of work on making the internet simply work

We started in 2021, back when “a VPN that actually works” was not yet a daily search query. Since then more or less everything has changed: protocols that passed one year were being cut by signature the next; apps disappeared from stores and came back under new names; in 2025 whitelist mode arrived and half of the familiar solutions stopped connecting altogether.

Every one of those turns meant migrating to new technology and reconfiguring everything behind it. Services launched this year have not yet lived through a single cycle of that kind. We have lived through several — and that is the one durability claim you can actually verify, unlike a decorative uptime percentage.

The whole shape of the service follows from that. The subscription is one link that carries servers and settings into the app by itself — no fields, no keys typed by hand. Management happens in Telegram because Telegram is already open on everyone’s phone: no password to remember for a dashboard you will visit twice in your life. The trial runs two weeks rather than one day, because restrictions arrive in waves and a single day tells you nothing.

The same principle explains what we do not have: no “300 servers in 90 countries” marketing, no specific speed promises, no fine print under an asterisk. Two locations, two protocols, and two plans with identical allowances — that is the entire product.

There is no universal solution here that works always and everywhere, and we do not promise one. What does work is a constant line to people on the ground, plus a protocol built for the hardest case — see how whitelist bypass works. When a user in a particular city writes that mobile data has stopped opening anything except their bank and government services, that is not only a support ticket — it is a signal that a rule changed somewhere. Several such messages make a picture, and the picture turns into configuration changes.

That is why we ask people to include their city, their operator and what exactly stopped working: doing so helps more than just you. We post about changes in the channel @pr0jectv, and whether the solution works on your own SIM card is something you can establish during two free weeks — before paying, not after.
