Uniting nations through the internet
Veilock is a censorship-bypassing VPN service that provides fast, encrypted, no-logs connections across a global server network, engineered to defeat internet censorship — including the Great Firewall of China — and unblock the open internet for people and businesses worldwide.
Our story
Veilock began in 2016 out of a simple, urgent need: people were being cut off from the open internet, and the tools meant to reconnect them kept getting blocked. Founder Riley Nevins started the service as a way to help a group of students navigate social-media restrictions safely, and it grew into a full VPN service dedicated to one thing above all — defeating censorship.
That focus still defines us. While many VPNs chase feature checklists, Veilock is engineered first for the hardest networks in the world: the Great Firewall of China, national filters in Iran and the UAE, and the deep-packet-inspection systems that hunt down ordinary VPN traffic. When connectivity is a matter of safety and access, reliability isn't optional.
In 2025, Veilock joined Nubinity, LLC, a managed-services and connectivity company. That partnership pairs our censorship-bypass engineering with a network and support organization built to run infrastructure at scale — so we can reach more people, in more places, more reliably.

Riley started the service (then AstroVPN) in 2016 to help a group of students navigate social-media restrictions safely. The censorship-bypass mission Veilock carries today is his blueprint.
Operated today by
"Riley built Veilock to get a group of students back online, and it grew into exactly the kind of infrastructure Nubinity exists to operate. When we acquired Veilock in 2025, the job was clear: keep people connected on networks built to stop them — reliably, affordably, and without ever logging what they do."
