A Personal Note​

This year has solidified something remarkable: our Flutter transition wasn't just a technical upgrade – it fundamentally changed how we can serve our users. When we started this journey, some questioned whether a unified platform could meet the diverse needs of our user base. The results have exceeded our expectations, allowing us to deliver better service across all platforms while maintaining the highest security standards.

The ongoing pandemic has continued to reshape how people work, learn, and connect. Our service has evolved from a privacy tool to an essential utility for many, enabling secure remote work, distance learning, and global connectivity. This transformation reminds me of the core principle that has guided us: technology must serve human needs while protecting fundamental rights.

What's particularly satisfying is seeing how our unified platform has enabled faster response to emerging threats and changing user needs. When new security challenges arise, we can now deploy protections across all platforms simultaneously. When users request new features, we can deliver them consistently across devices.

The beginning of our VLESS protocol research this year marks another exciting chapter in our journey. As we develop this next-generation protocol, we're keeping sight of what matters most: providing secure, reliable, and accessible privacy tools for everyone.

To our users: your trust and feedback have been invaluable in shaping our service. To our team: your dedication to excellence while maintaining our core values has made this year's achievements possible.

As we look toward 2022, we remain excited about the possibilities ahead. In a world where digital privacy faces growing challenges, we continue to innovate and adapt, ensuring our users have the tools they need to maintain their freedom and security online.

A Personal Note​

A Personal Note​

This August, we lost my father, Hamid Golsharifi, at the age of 56. As a political analyst and human rights advocate, he spent his life fighting for freedom of speech and human dignity. His sudden departure left a void that can never be filled, but his legacy lives on in every aspect of our work.

One evening in particular stays with me. We were discussing the role of technology in society when he said something that would forever shape our mission: "In the modern world, privacy isn't just a right – it's oxygen for freedom. When people can't breathe freely in the digital space, they suffocate in the real world too."

I remember the countless evening discussions where he would passionately explain how access to secure communication could change lives. His most powerful teaching came when I was focused too heavily on technical solutions: "Never forget, son – technology without humanity is just machinery. Our work isn't about building better walls; it's about building better bridges. Privacy tools should unite people, not isolate them."

"Information is like water," he would often say, "it should flow freely, and everyone has the right to drink from it. But just as water needs to be protected from pollution, information needs to be protected from manipulation and surveillance." This simple yet profound philosophy became the foundation of OrbVPN.

In the early days of 2007, when I shared my technical ideas about a secure network, his eyes lit up with excitement. He didn't see just the technology – he saw the potential for protecting journalists, enabling free speech, and giving voice to those who needed it most. While we've grown to serve a global and diverse user base, his vision of accessible, secure communication remains at our core.

My father never saw technology as just tools or business opportunities. For him, they were instruments of freedom, bridges across censorship, and shields for human rights. He would be proud to see how we've expanded beyond his initial vision, now protecting privacy for people from all walks of life while staying true to those fundamental principles.

Hamid, your understanding of human dignity and freedom shaped not just OrbVPN's beginning, but its entire journey. Your voice still guides us: "Make it accessible, make it reliable, make it serve the people." Even as we serve businesses, streamers, and everyday users, your principles of privacy and freedom remain our foundation.

To honor his memory, we will continue building technology that embodies his values - protecting privacy, enabling free communication, and standing against digital oppression. While he began by showing me the need for secure communication tools for journalists and activists, I know he would be proud to see how we've expanded to protect privacy for people from all walks of life.

To our users: your trust in our service drives us to continue innovating and improving. To our team: your dedication through this challenging year has been remarkable. And to my father: your vision lives on in every connection we protect, every message we secure, and every user we help.

The best tribute we can offer is to continue building what you helped inspire - a service that makes the digital world a little more free, a little more secure, and a little more like that freely flowing water you always spoke about.

Rest in peace, Hamid.

Nima Golsharifi
Founder, OrbVPN

Our first full year of operation brought both significant challenges and crucial breakthroughs. When we started in 2007, we had a vision of a private, invitation-based network. In 2008, we began turning that vision into reality.

First Infrastructure Steps​

The most significant development this year was establishing our first dedicated servers. Moving away from shared hosting was a major step - not just technically, but also in terms of our commitment to users' privacy. We carefully selected our first data center locations, ensuring they met our strict privacy and security requirements.

The Invitation System Takes Shape​

Our unique invitation-based network concept proved both challenging and rewarding to implement. We spent considerable time developing a system that balanced security with usability. The early feedback from our first users, mainly journalists and privacy-conscious individuals, helped shape the system's development.

Technical Growth​

This year marked several important technical achievements:

• Implemented our first custom VPN protocols
• Developed basic traffic routing systems
• Created initial user management tools
• Established fundamental security measures

Each development was driven by real user needs, particularly those of journalists and activists who needed reliable, secure connections.

Learning from Setbacks​

Not everything went as planned. Our initial user interface was too complex for some users, and we faced several server stability issues in the early months. These challenges taught us valuable lessons about balancing advanced security features with user-friendly design.

The departure of our team member in 2007 still echoed through early 2008, but it helped us focus on building a more resilient organization. We learned to do more with less and to be more selective about our priorities.

Privacy Remains Central​

My father's influence continued to guide our development. His insights into the needs of journalists and activists helped us understand how crucial reliable privacy tools are for those working in sensitive areas. This understanding drove us to implement stronger encryption standards and more robust privacy protections.

Growing User Base​

Though we maintained our invitation-only model, our user base grew steadily throughout the year. Each new user brought unique challenges and perspectives, helping us understand different privacy needs across various contexts.

Infrastructure Expansion​

By year's end, we had:

• Established our first proper server network
• Implemented basic redundancy systems
• Created our initial backup procedures
• Developed preliminary monitoring tools

Looking Forward to 2009​

As we enter 2009, our priorities are clear:

• Expanding our server infrastructure
• Enhancing our encryption methods
• Improving user interface simplicity
• Strengthening our invitation system

Personal Reflection​

This year reinforced something my father always emphasized - technology should serve human rights and freedom of speech. Every technical challenge we solved wasn't just about improving our service; it was about protecting someone's ability to communicate freely and safely.

To our users who trusted us this first year: thank you. Your faith in our vision has driven us to work harder and think deeper about how technology can protect privacy and freedom of expression.

The foundation we've built this year isn't just technical - it's a foundation of trust, privacy, and commitment to protecting free communication. As we move into 2009, these principles will continue to guide every decision we make.
