Warrant Canary
Last updated: May 1, 2026
A warrant canary is a transparency mechanism. As long as this page exists with its current statement, you can be sure that FreeWave VPN has not been subject to secret legal orders.
Current Statement
As of May 1, 2026, FreeWave VPN has not received any National Security Letters, FISA court orders, gag orders, or any other secret government demands that would compel us to compromise our users' privacy. We have not been ordered to install any backdoors into our infrastructure. We have not been compelled to monitor user traffic. We have not been required to hand over user data to any government agency.
This statement is reviewed and updated on the first of each month. If this page is removed or the statement above is altered, you should consider the canary to have been triggered.
PGP-Signed Verification
A PGP-signed version of this statement is published in our Telegram channel. You can verify the signature against our public key to confirm authenticity.
What is a Warrant Canary?
Governments in some jurisdictions can compel service providers to hand over user data and prohibit them from disclosing this fact. A warrant canary works around this by publishing a regular statement confirming that no such orders have been received — if the statement disappears or changes, the absence of the canary itself becomes the signal.
