VPN Service Policy
Last Updated: August 2, 2026
1. About the Service
Elektrine VPN is a WireGuard-based virtual private network service that protects your privacy by encrypting your internet traffic. The service is provided free to all Elektrine users.
2. Usage Limits
The following limits apply to free users only. Paid subscribers have unlimited access.
- Bandwidth: 10 GB per month per server configuration
- Speed: 50 Mbps default rate limit
- Configurations: One per server (create multiple on different servers)
- Server Access: Depends on your trust level (TL0-TL4)
Bandwidth is shared across every device on your account. Adding or revoking devices does not reset usage. When you exceed your quota, all profiles are suspended until the next 30-day period.

4. Devices and DNS
Profiles are scoped to named devices (for example phone or laptop). You can revoke a single device or rotate its keys without rebuilding every other profile.
When Elektrine DNS is enabled for the deployment, WireGuard profiles set the tunnel DNS resolver to the platform DNS service instead of a third-party resolver, so name lookups stay on infrastructure you control.
5. Privacy and logs
Account rules for the VPN follow the main Terms of Service.
Default posture: no durable connect or disconnect history, and no client source IP on session rows. WireGuard peers live in kernel memory on the node. Fleet agents do not need a database on the node.
The control plane may keep:
- Account and peer public keys needed to issue configs
- Aggregate bandwidth counters for free-tier limits
- Server assignment and device names you set on profiles
We do not log:
- Browsing history or destination websites
- DNS query names or packet payloads
- Your source IP on the VPN path
- Traffic contents inside the WireGuard tunnel
- Per-session connect or disconnect history (off by default)
Operators can enable optional durable session rows with VPN_DURABLE_SESSION_LOGS. Those rows still never store client source IP.
We do not sell VPN logs. Short security records for abuse control follow the main
Privacy Policy.
