LemonVPN

Your own VPN, on your own server. Free and open source.

LemonVPN is not a VPN service. We run no servers, sell no subscriptions, and never see your traffic. Instead, LemonVPN connects you to a server you own, rent, or have been given access to — and it can set that server up for you in a few taps.

SET UP YOUR OWN VPN IN MINUTES
Rent a virtual server from any hosting provider, or use a computer you already own. Enter its address and SSH login, pick a protocol, and LemonVPN installs and configures everything for you. No terminal, no config files, no Linux experience needed. When it finishes, you have a private VPN used by you alone and whoever you choose to share it with.

ALREADY HAVE A CONFIGURATION? IMPORT IT
Paste a vpn:// key, scan a QR code, or open a .conf, .ovpn, .vpn or .json file from your employer, university, community admin, or a provider you already use. Everything stays on your device.

PROTOCOLS FOR EVERY SITUATION
• AmneziaWG — WireGuard speed with a modified handshake designed to resist deep packet inspection
• WireGuard — modern, fast, lightweight, battery friendly
• OpenVPN — the proven classic, over TCP or UDP
• OpenVPN over Cloak — traffic shaped to look like ordinary HTTPS browsing
• Shadowsocks — lightweight obfuscation for restrictive networks
• XRay — masquerades as a normal TLS connection to a real website

SPLIT TUNNELING
Decide exactly what goes through the tunnel. Route only selected apps, or only selected websites, and leave banking, streaming, or local network services on your normal connection. Works as an include list or an exclude list.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no email address
• No logs — your traffic never touches our infrastructure, so there is nothing for us to log
• No ads, no trackers, no third-party analytics
• Server credentials and keys are encrypted and stored only on your device
• Fully open source and independently auditable

SHARE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Issue a separate connection key for each person or device and export it as text or a QR code. Revoke access at any time from the app. Your server, your rules.

GENUINELY FREE
No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no premium tier, no paywall, no trial period, no upsell. The only money that ever changes hands is what you may choose to pay a hosting provider directly for a server — and several offer free tiers. We take no commission and have no affiliate arrangements.

ONE CONFIGURATION, EVERY DEVICE
LemonVPN is available for Android, Windows, macOS, Linux and iOS. Configure your server once, then export the connection to your laptop, tablet, and phone.

WHO IT IS FOR
Anyone who wants a private connection on public Wi-Fi, remote workers reaching services back home, travellers keeping access to the sites and apps they use every day, and people who would simply rather trust a server they control than a company promising not to look.

WHY SELF-HOSTED
A commercial VPN asks you to move your trust from your internet provider to them. With LemonVPN, the exit point is a machine you rent or own, with an IP address that is yours and not shared with thousands of strangers — which also means fewer captcha walls and blocked pages. Nobody sits between you and the internet selling data or keeping records.

PERMISSIONS
LemonVPN uses Android's VPN service to route your traffic through the tunnel you configure. It is used for nothing else.
