Open Source Privacy

Multi-Hop Encrypted Tunnel

Route your traffic through multiple encrypted relays. Each hop adds a layer of protection. Your data stays private, even from us.

Privacy by Design

Built from the ground up with security as the foundation, not an afterthought.

Per-Hop Encryption

Each relay in your route uses independent encryption keys. Compromise of one hop reveals nothing about your traffic.

Hardware Accelerated

AES-256-GCM leverages your device's cryptographic processor for blazing fast encryption without battery drain.

Onion Routing

Optional Tor integration adds 3+ additional anonymous hops through the Tor network for maximum anonymity.

Kill Switch

Automatically blocks all internet traffic if the VPN connection drops, preventing any data leaks.

Custom Routes

Build your own multi-hop routes with specific servers and encryption algorithms for each hop.

Open Source

Fully auditable codebase. Verify the security yourself or trust the community's eyes on every line.

Choose Your Security Level

Four encryption modes optimized for different use cases. All military-grade, all zero-knowledge.

Fast

AES-256-GCM

Hardware-accelerated encryption using your device's built-in AES processor. Best for streaming and gaming.

  • Lowest latency
  • Hardware accelerated
  • Best battery life

Maximum

XChaCha20-Poly1305

Extended nonce variant with the highest security margin against cryptographic attacks. For the security-conscious.

  • Extended nonce (192-bit)
  • Future-proof security
  • Highest protection

Onion

XChaCha20 + Tor

Routes exit traffic through the Tor network, adding 3+ additional anonymous hops. Ultimate anonymity at the cost of speed.

  • Tor network integration
  • Maximum anonymity
  • Untraceable exit

How Helix Works

A multi-layered approach to privacy that makes tracking virtually impossible.

01

Build Your Route

Choose from preset configurations or build a custom route by selecting specific relay servers across different countries. Each hop can use a different encryption algorithm.

02

Layered Encryption

Your data is encrypted multiple times before leaving your device—once for each hop in your route. Each relay can only decrypt its own layer, revealing only the next destination.

03

Relay Chain

Traffic flows through your chosen relays in sequence. No single relay knows both the origin and destination of your traffic. Even if compromised, they learn nothing useful.

04

Clean Exit

The final relay (exit node) sends your traffic to its destination. Optional Tor integration adds another layer by routing through the Tor network before reaching the public internet.
