Who sees your internet? In 90 seconds: how HidraVPN and HidraNet Browser keep it yours.

HIDRAVPN AND HIDRANET: DEV UPDATE - 1 Nov 2026 Today was code review and fixes for the launch of HidraVPN 0.1.2 and HidraNet Browser 1.1.0. If you use HidraVPN today (0.1.0), there is nothing you need to do. If you have not imported the 30 October node list yet, import the current list from hidranet.org/vpn before 25 November. Code review • We went through all the code of HidraVPN, HidraNet Browser and hidra-node, part by part, and fixed everything that had to be ready before launch. • Every fix comes with a new test that fails on the old code and passes on the new. Windows build • The Windows executables are now built on GitHub Actions, with the compiler and the tools at fixed versions. • Every file comes with an attestation of origin: you can check which code and which build it came from. HidraVPN 0.1.2 • On Windows, the connection comes back by itself when a node restarts. • When the connection drops, the status changes to "connecting" at once and the log says why. • Clearer messages on the command line. VPN nodes • A node that cannot start says why and leaves the server as it was. • A node's settings are checked every time it starts. • The installer is safer for updating an existing node: it says what it will not change, and stops before replacing the program if the settings have a problem. • This reaches the servers with the next node update. HidraNet Browser 1.1.0 • If Tor takes too long to connect, the browser ends the whole attempt, and you just try again. • The toolbar shows the real state: connecting, anonymous or off. • HidraReview: adding photos works, and photos go out without the data a camera writes into the file (model, date, location). • Publishing a SevenNine site now goes through the Sites app, with a "Publish" shortcut on the new tab page. • SevenNine receives large files whole. Tests • VPN: the 18 end-to-end test suites, on simulated networks, ran twice and passed. • hidra-node: 421 tests, twice, all passing. • Browser: the Electron tests, which run the real browser, all passing. Next Bring the fixes into the main code, update the nodes, redo the Windows tests with the final 0.1.2 build, and launch HidraVPN 0.1.2 together with HidraNet Browser 1.1.0. We are still looking for independent entry operators: with the entry and the exit in different hands, no one sees both ends of a connection.

HidraVPN launches on November 12. Two hops: the entry sees you, the exit sees where you go, and no one sees both. No sign-up, no name, no card. Your key is made on your device. It ships with a HidraBrowser update, so you can turn it on from the browser. Windows and Linux. 🐍
