Privacy-first VPN · mobile and desktop

Rover VPN

A VPN built around one question: who can see your traffic once it leaves the tunnel. Rover VPN ships mobile apps, a set of pre-configured global breakout locations, and the option to run your own breakout on infrastructure you control.

Breakout

Where your traffic re-enters the internet

The breakout is the point where traffic leaves the tunnel and reaches the public internet. Whoever operates it sees the traffic in the clear, minus whatever TLS protects. Most VPN products treat that point as an implementation detail. Rover VPN treats it as the product.

Pre-set global locations

What it is
Rover-operated breakout points in a set of global regions
Pick by
Region, in-app, per connection
Use it for
Roaming staff, travel, untrusted local networks, general privacy
Transport
WireGuard, or ZeroTier where the estate already uses it

Custom breakout (optional)

What it is
A breakout on infrastructure you nominate, in a region and jurisdiction you choose
Egress IP
Yours, and stable
Use it for
Traffic that has to appear to originate from your own network, or must not transit a third party at all
Pairs with
The same overlay the routers, switches, and RapidSTACK gateways join
The custom option is the answer to the argument made under Learn: a tunnel only moves the trust question to whoever runs the far end. Running that end yourself is the one configuration where the question has a clean answer.

Roam Home · managed service

Your home network, anywhere on earth

Roam Home is the custom breakout delivered as a managed service. A hardened Rover bridge appliance sits at your home, or any gateway location you designate, and holds an always-on encrypted tunnel. You run the Rover VPN on your own devices or a travel router you carry, and everything you reach sees the address of that gateway rather than the address of wherever you happen to be.

Consistent home IP Drop-shipped, pre-provisioned Monitored and patched

How it works

ABROAD HOME OR CHOSEN GATEWAY ROAMING DEVICE Rover VPN app, or a travel router hotel, airport, host carrier untrusted encrypted tunnel · WireGuard / ZeroTier ROVER BRIDGE hardened appliance, always-on endpoint SERVICES banking, streaming, enterprise portals see your home IP local breakout reaches the same services, wearing a foreign IP
The tunnel is not the product. The bridge at the far end is: because it sits at a location you nominate, every service you reach keeps seeing the same home-region address no matter where you are that week. Break out locally instead and you get the address of whatever network you are standing on, which is what triggers the lockouts.
01

Provision

A hardened bridge appliance is pre-provisioned and shipped to the home or gateway location you nominate.

02

Connect

From anywhere, you connect over the Rover VPN on a laptop, a phone, or a travel router you carry with you.

03

Bridge

An always-on tunnel carries your traffic back to the bridge, which presents its own public address.

04

Manage

The NOC monitors, patches, and supports the appliance for the life of the deployment. You manage your own users through a portal.

Why a fixed address matters

What it solves

Access friction
No unusual-location lockouts, no repeated re-authentication, no allow-list breaking because you moved
Geo-licensed services
Home-region streaming, news, financial, and SaaS services behave the way they do at home
Hostile networks
Traffic leaves the local network inside a tunnel rather than trusting the venue or the host carrier
Portability
Change the designated gateway when an assignment changes

Who uses it

Government
Diplomatic, defence, and federal personnel on overseas assignment
Deployed teams
Expeditionary staff needing a consistent, trusted egress for mission and welfare traffic
NGO
Field staff working from austere or restrictive networks
Commercial
Contractors and coalition partners reaching enterprise portals from abroad, and executive travel

Apps and clients

Mobile

iOS and Android

Connect, switch breakout location, and reconnect on network change. The phone is the device most likely to be on a network nobody vetted, so it gets first-class treatment rather than a web portal.

Desktop

Windows, macOS, Linux

Standard WireGuard clients, which means the client code carrying your traffic is open and widely reviewed rather than proprietary to a vendor.

Site

Router-terminated

Terminate on a Rover Router instead of per device, so everything behind it is covered without an agent on each endpoint. Useful for a branch, a residence, or a temporary office.
