About AzireVPN
AzireVPN is a privacy-oriented Virtual Private Network (VPN) service operated by Netbouncer AB, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The service distinguishes itself by owning and managing its own hardware across all server locations rather than relying on virtual private servers (VPS) or rented instances from third-party cloud providers. This "bare metal" approach is designed to minimize the risk of unauthorized access or data interception by hosting providers. The provider was an early adopter and proponent of the WireGuard protocol and emphasizes a strict no-logging policy. Their technical infrastructure features diskless servers (RAM-only), ensuring that no data is permanently stored on the servers. While they operate globally, including locations in Ukraine and Finland, their core operations and legal jurisdiction are anchored in Sweden, providing users with the protections of Swedish privacy laws and GDPR.
