VPN Unlimited: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

VPN Unlimited is a VPN service from KeepSolid Inc. that routes a device's internet traffic through an encrypted connection. It offers apps and extensions for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android and browsers such as Chrome and Firefox, support for TV devices and routers, and features such as a DNS firewall, personal servers and team and family plans. It is delivered as hosted SaaS; self-hosting is not possible and the software is not open source.

KeepSolid Inc. lists an office address in New York, United States, and therefore falls under US jurisdiction. No foreign parent company was found. According to the vendor, the service follows a strict zero-log policy, but the product page names no independent audit. The vendor says its VPN servers are located in many places worldwide; it does not state where account data is hosted. For a European organisation this means the operator is outside the EU and that you must rely on the vendor's own statement for the no-logs commitment.

Why digital sovereignty matters with VPN Unlimited

VPN Unlimited is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

VPN Unlimited hosts data in EU, US. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

VPN Unlimited is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs VPN Unlimited together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
