Privacy is often framed as a promise: trust us, we won’t look at your data. We took one step further and build systems where we simply can’t. That idea is now in production in two places: our dedicated-IP VPN, which uses blinded tokens and AWS Nitro Enclaves so an IP can’t be tied back to a customer; and our private LLM service ExpressAI, where prompts are processed on confidential-computing GPUs inside attested enclaves.
