Nonprofit VPN trusted by over 250 million people
The VPN that fights censorship
Fast, secure, and reliable secure access to anything from anywhere
Unmatched Speed
A smarter VPN that’s seriously fast
Most VPNs slow you down by sending all your traffic through their servers, even when it doesn't need protection. Lantern is different. By default, we protect only what needs protection: blocked, unencrypted, and sensitive traffic. Everything else stays fast and direct. Want full coverage? Switch to full-tunnel mode anytime.
Smart Routing By Default
Use automatic mode for intelligent routing based on your region. Switch to manual mode to customize which apps and sites use the VPN. Or turn on full tunnel for complete protection. However you connect, you’re in control.
Host Your Own Server
Use Lantern’s trusted network or run your own server with Lantern’s Private Server manager. Either way, your connection stays private, flexible, and fully under your control.
Reliable Access, Anywhere
Lantern adapts in real time to blocks and censorship with multiple protocols, smart routing, and constant updates. When one path closes, another opens. Stay connected when other VPNs fail.
