History

Golden Frog's core team has been developing Internet applications and security software since 1994. Golden Frog was incorporated in 2010. In that same year, it launched its VyprVPN Personal VPN service commercially, after initially offering the service through its partnership with Giganews.

Golden Frog’s service offerings are based around improving end-user Internet privacy and security.

VyprVPN (Virtual Private Network) VPN is a personal VPN service that provides users a secure, encrypted connection to the Internet.[2] VyprVPN is offered in two account types: VyprVPN and VyprVPN Pro. Depending on the type of account, VyprVPN offers a number of features, including 128-bit and 256-bit encryptions, unlimited speeds, unlimited IP addresses, and PPTP, OpenVPN SSL, L2TP/IPsec protocols.[3] In late 2011, Golden Frog launched the VyprVPN application in Beta form for Windows users which allowed them to switch between VyprVPN server locations and protocol types without any manual setup.[4] In early 2013, the application graduated from Beta and the 1.0 release was officially announced for Windows users only.[5] In late 2012, mobile versions of the application became available for iOS and Android devices.[6] In early 2013, the desktop version of the application was announced for Mac OS X.[7]

Dump Truck is a secure online storage service for photos, documents, data and files. Dump Truck can be accessed via web browser or WebDAV.[8] Golden Frog offers its services through partnerships with other companies and direct sale to businesses and consumers.
