Meet HydraVeil, Our App's New Name
How our VPN is Upgrading.
Big Announcement
Our Fingerprint VPN app is renaming.
Our organization is staying Simplified Privacy, but our app’s new name is HydraVeil.
Reasons for the name change:
Many “Faces”
Our multiple profiles give you many identities, similar to the many faces of Hydra. We wanted to make it clear this is more than “just a VPN”
Traffic Obfuscation Strategy
Our strategy of split traffic to hide packet sizes, is symbolically shaped like a Hydra. With a large layer-1 “body”, and smaller layer-2 faces.
Changes in this Update:
a) New billing website for non-Linux people.
For phones, routers, Windows, Mac, and other.
Now anyone can get quick and easy access to $1 VPN subscriptions, with easy-to-scan QR codes.
New Billing Site Link
Router
If you put this on your router, you’re anonymous to other VPNs.
Phones
Also, you can separate your phone and PC.
b) Codebase organized (and posted) on a self-hosted Git:
https://git.simplifiedprivacy.is/explore/repos
Note: It was always open source, but before we had instructions on breaking the AppImage up. Now we support both methods.
c) Wireguard config structure
This is the architecture for (Future) Decentralization.
And we eliminated the use of government domains from the Wireguard config files (for security).
d) Whonix Support
You can now evade Tor blocks from inside Whonix
This is with socks5 proxies, but without sudo, so it’s trustless. “Oh you block Tor? I didn’t notice”. Instructions found here: [link]
e) TuxedoOS Support
We have instructions written up here: [link]
i) Bug fixes for systemwide and Tor.
And UI fixes on Profile Edits

Transition over old profiles
Roadmap of Future Planned Changes:
a) IPv6 Support
b) Decentralizing out the Wireguard nodes, this upgrade is just the architecture.
