What Users Say

About the project

Built by Emanuel Oprea, senior software engineer, to make VPN access on the living room TV as effortless as on a laptop.

The why

ShieldMe began as a passion project: remove the complexity of VPN setup and make secure browsing accessible at home.

The purpose

  • Make VPN use on home networks straightforward.
  • Help people secure their online activity.
  • Expand access to global services.
  • Deliver a simpler, more transparent experience.

The story

The idea sparked while trying to watch region-locked content on a TV — a simple need that highlighted how much effort VPN setup can take. ShieldMe set out to change that.
