rVPN · Encrypted stealth VPN over WebSocket/TLS

rVPN, an open-source VPN protocol developed and funded by PDG Global Limited, has released version 1.4.0 under the AGPLv3 license, with a Rust-based memory-safe core and reproducible builds that let users verify shipped binaries against the source. The protocol tunnels traffic over WebSocket/TLS on port 443 so it resembles ordinary HTTPS, and it adds active-probe resistance by serving a decoy website to anyone inspecting the endpoint. It also pools flows across a small number of long-lived connections (pool_size = 4, 256 KiB flow window) rather than one TLS session per flow, and uses a Double Ratchet for forward secrecy with 1-RTT PSK reconnects. The project claims zero logs and targets users in networks where conventional VPNs are blocked, positioning verifiability—open code, checksums, and signatures—as its differentiator. Next, watch adoption of the self-hosted node option and whether independent audits validate the reproducible-build and probe-resistance claims.
