What it does
Geph is a VPN service designed around censorship resistance, with bridge relays and Free or Plus subscription authorization using cryptographic proofs.
Geph's documented design separates exit servers from bridge relays. The project explains that users discover bridges through a bootstrap process rather than receiving a single public list of exits. It also describes presenting proof of a valid Free or Plus subscription instead of identifying credentials at the connection. These are architecture claims from the project, not a guarantee that a particular network cannot block it. Desktop and mobile downloads are provided for users evaluating that access model.
Geph's policy keeps authentication and payment records, including account creation and last-login times. It says traffic, DNS, detailed statistics and IP information are never stored for more than twenty-four hours, while aggregate statistics remain. That wording is a retention ceiling, not a promise that none of those data are ever processed. The terms also block several mail-sending ports and allow legally compelled disclosure under Estonian law.
