Our mission
We believe people should reach the web without unnecessary surveillance or censorship. 5UF VPN provides trusted encryption and stable global nodes so you can stay private and get things done on any network.
5UF VPN is operated by 5UF PTE. LTD. Since 2025, our corporate home has been Singapore, closer to key Asia–Pacific hubs and aligned with our international roadmap.
We focus on quality over raw server count—tuning protocols, clients, and routing so speed, stability, and ease of use stay at the center of product decisions.

Co-founder · Operations & trust
Champions user communication and clear trust narratives—helping our no-logs stance and support workflows feel predictable, not performative.
The service traces back to 2010, when a group of enthusiasts set out to deliver fast, dependable access and privacy. The company was initially registered in the United States; over time we expanded nodes, added protocols, and deepened operations expertise.
As the internet landscape changed, we updated domains and entry points many times—what stayed constant is our focus on connection reliability and human support.
From early PPTP/L2TP to OpenVPN, SSTP, IKEv2, and smart web proxy modes—we evolve with the industry and maintain in-house and cross-platform clients where it helps users most.
We maintain a no-logs policy for browsing traffic and help users resolve stacked-proxy and environment issues through guides and tickets.
Our audience has grown from an early regional focus to users worldwide. Singapore anchors our compliance and growth story for the next chapter.
We have rotated domains as network conditions required. The table below is incomplete and reflects milestones through roughly September 2016:
