No-logs policy
Hostacks runs every Hostacks VPN server itself; nothing passes through third-party VPN networks. This page states exactly what that means.
We never record
- Sites, apps or IP addresses you connect to
- DNS queries
- Traffic content
- Connection and disconnection times per user
- Bandwidth per user
- Your device's public IP address
How the servers are built
- The system journal is kept in memory only, never on disk, and contains no user identifiers.
- The DNS resolver runs with query and reply logging switched off.
- Each connected device is known only by a random VPN key and a private address, held in memory and removed when you disconnect or go idle.
- To stop one address from taking every free place on a server, the server keeps a scrambled fingerprint of the connecting address, in memory only, for a few minutes while a new connection starts. It is never written to disk, never sent anywhere, and never linked to what you do.
- Servers report only totals (users online, load, traffic, and how many different devices connected that day) to our control plane, never per-user data. To count each device once, a server keeps a short fingerprint of each device key in memory until the end of the day, then discards it. Servers also report totals per app version, app language and country (from the connecting address, looked up and dropped), how many installs connected for the first time, and an anonymous count summary that merges across servers without a device list.

Because we do not keep activity records, we have none to hand over.
