Search Encrypt.me on Amazon.Encrypt.me is a virtual private network service headquartered in Seattle, Washington.[2] It uses end-to-end encryption to secure internet connections across its network, and also offers private endpoints for users to deploy themselves.
History[edit]
Encrypt.me was founded in 2011 by Dave Peck, Nick Robinson, and Peter Sagerson under the name Cloak.[3] In 2012, Cloak released its first public client for iOS and macOS.[4] In 2013, Cloak 1.0 officially launched at Macworld.[5]
In 2016, Cloak was acquired by StackPath.[6] As part of the acquisition, Cloak revealed plans to expand its service to additional platforms beyond iOS and macOS.[7] Those plans came to fruition in April 2017, as Cloak released its first public beta for Android.[8] The following August, Cloak rebranded as Encrypt.me and released its first Windows client.[9] In November 2017, Encrypt.me partnered with Eero to offer its virtual private service on Eero routers.[10]
In May 2019, Encrypt.me was acquired by J2 Global.[11] It is managed by NetProtect, a subsidiary under the J2 Global cloud services umbrella.[12]
Technology[edit]
Encrypt.me has dedicated clients for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Amazon Fire OS.[13] Private endpoints are available for team and family subscriptions. They’re hosted on AWS Compute Instances.[14]
