Security Features

Security starts with modern encryption and reliable protocols. Openshield focuses on strong defaults so you don’t have to be an expert to stay safe.

Encryption & protocols

• Up‑to‑date encryption suites aligned with industry guidance
• Support for WireGuard® and OpenVPN®
• Forward secrecy for protection even if long‑term keys are exposed

Connection safety

• Kill switch to prevent traffic if the tunnel drops
• DNS and WebRTC leak protections while connected
• Optional split tunneling for app/site control

Infrastructure hygiene

• Hardened configs and routine updates
• Scoped access and change tracking
• Separation of control and data paths where feasible

Security is a process. We continuously review configurations and performance to keep a strong baseline.
