Built-in protection
Your Linux box, wrapped in an extra layer of privacy
The APEX VPN app runs quietly in the background of your desktop, or connects with a single CLI command on a headless box, encrypting everything that leaves the machine over WireGuard or OpenVPN at their strongest settings.
Trust by design
Nothing to log, nothing to hand over
APEX VPN keeps no record of your browsing activity, connection timestamps, or IP address history. Both the GUI app and the CLI are open source, so you or any outside researcher can read the code and confirm it for yourself.
