macOS comes with a version of OpenSSL (or LibreSSL) pre-installed, but it is often outdated. Use to install the latest version. Open Terminal. Install via Homebrew: brew install openssl Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard openssl version # Show version and build date

Most Linux distributions have OpenSSL pre-installed. However, you may need the development headers ( libssl-dev ) for compiling other software. Ubuntu / Debian sudo apt update sudo apt install openssl libssl-dev Use code with caution. CentOS / RHEL / Fedora sudo dnf install openssl openssl-devel Use code with caution. Compiling from Source (All Distributions) install openssl

echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc source ~/.zshrc

# Fedora (dnf) sudo dnf install openssl

Architectural Blueprint

A strict, verifiable pipeline. See how R-VPN splits traffic, resolves secure DNS, and prevents unauthorized traffic inspection without relying on opaque, closed-source dependencies.

Smart Split Tunneling

The client instantly routes local traffic back to your LAN/ISP, while actively dropping ad and tracker domains via a local 0.0.0.0 sinkhole to preserve bandwidth before encryption begins.

Active Probing Defense

The gateway acts as a strict multiplexer. If a network analysis system attempts an unauthenticated probe, the proxy invisibly routes the request to a real Decoy Website.

Zero-Trust Crypto

Authenticated traffic passes to the R-VPN Core, utilizing the Double Ratchet Algorithm and ML-KEM PQC. Future server seizures or key exposures cannot decrypt past messages.

Secure DNS Resolution

All external DNS requests are encrypted and resolved securely through the R-VPN server, ensuring private browsing.

Technical Specification

A raw data comparison against alternative open-source transport layers.

Corporate vs. Mathematics

Commercial VPNs vs. Zero Trust

Incumbent VPNs are heavily centralized. Many are owned by data brokers or operate in jurisdictions with complex data retention requirements. R-VPN ensures privacy through code, not corporate promises.

Bare-Metal Performance

Engineered in Rust

Security shouldn't come at the cost of system resources. We stripped away the bloat of legacy runtimes and built the R-VPN core entirely in Rust. This guarantees strict memory safety and thread safety without relying on a garbage collector.

The result is a highly parallel, cryptographically secure engine that consumes virtually zero overhead. You don't need dedicated enterprise server hardware or massive cloud instances—you can easily power an entire secure network tunnel for a small office using a single Raspberry Pi.

Cross-Platform Availability

Run the R-VPN core anywhere. We provide fully open-source binaries for desktop and server environments, alongside premium mobile clients to fund continuous protocol development. Flexibility is paramount: anyone can build a client providing they respect the AGPL license.
