Engineering notes on private networking.
How the protocols, the leak checks and the premium settings actually work — written by the people who run the network, with claims you can verify on the status page and in the app.
Hotel Wi-Fi: what it logs, what it cannot see, and what to do first
The most hostile network you will join all year: captive portals, forged DNS, the 90-second window — and the check-in routine that closes it.
WorkYour employer can read your HTTPS: how to check in 1 minute
On a company-managed device, no padlock protects you from IT. How inspection works, the one-minute certificate check, and the setup that separates work from life.
MythsIncognito does not hide you from Wi-Fi: what it does and does not do
The most believed privacy myth on the internet, retired in five minutes: private windows, the router, and what actually hides you.
NetworkWhat a Wi-Fi owner can actually see: HTTP vs HTTPS vs DNS vs SNI
Flatmate with Wireshark, hotel gateway, office admin — three watchers, very different powers. The exact table, plus the captive-portal window nobody mentions.
HouseholdWhy your partner sees ads for what you searched (it is the IP, not your mic)
You look for a gift, they get the ads. Nobody is listening: your whole home shares one public IP, and adtech happily mistakes your household for one person.
TrackingCookies, pixels and fingerprints: the tracking vocabulary, translated
Third-party cookies, tracking pixels, browser fingerprinting, SNI — what each scary term actually reveals about you, and which layer stops it. Spoiler: no single product covers all four.
Premium settingsDNS-level ad and tracker blocking on Plus: what it does and what it does not
One toggle, no browser extension, no traffic inspection. How server-side blocking resolves advertising, tracking and malware domains — and its honest limits.
Leak checksDNS, IPv6 and WebRTC leaks: what they are and how to check yours
A VPN can be up while your DNS, your IPv6 address or your browser quietly walk out the front door. What each leak is and how PryVPN guards each one.
ProtocolsWireGuard, ChaCha20-Poly1305 and the kill switch: how PryVPN moves your traffic
What happens to a packet between your device and the exit node — the cipher, the MTU, and why a dropped tunnel means silence instead of leaks.
Read it live instead.
Every claim about the network is checkable right now: live load per node, medians that come from real measurements, and the exact list of what is never stored.
