I launched a 100% free VPN — Hidezen is now in beta

Hi IndieHackers 👋

After working in the VPN industry for almost a decade, I decided to build my own VPN service completely from scratch — and today I’m launching Hidezen into public beta.

No prebuilt dashboards, no WHMCS, no tracking — just a clean backend I developed myself using PHP + Python, with automated config generation and license activation.

🆓 It’s 100% free during the entire beta

No signup, no credit card, no bandwidth limits. Just visit the website, activate with a 20-digit code, and connect using any standard VPN client.

💡 What’s working right now:

• Full support for OpenVPN & WireGuard

• Instant code-based activation

• Automated server deployment

• Works with any standard VPN app (manual config import)

🚀 What’s next:

• Native apps for Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, Linux

• Subscription model after production release

• A free tier will always remain — with limited servers/features

🌐 Try it now → https://hidezen.com

Would love to hear your feedback on:

• Activation experience

• Trust & transparency

• How you’d approach monetization

Thanks for checking it out!
