Who owns AirVPN? Company, jurisdiction and related brands

Who runs the service

AirVPN is run by a sole proprietor: the terms of service list AirVPN di Paolo Brini (Air di Paolo Brini), the Italian VAT IT03297800546 and the Perugia registry entry REA PG-279011. There is no parent company or holding above the service. The address in the terms of use is Via Sagittario 4, Perugia. For personal data questions, the listed address is c/o Studio Papa, Via Vecchi 53, Perugia, and the GDPR contact leads to info@airvpn.org and to Paolo Brini himself. The service describes itself as a project run by activists.

What the Italian jurisdiction means

Italy is part of the 14 Eyes alliance, and our privacy scoring deducts some points for this. AirVPN's policy states that the service only responds to requests under EU law and does not recognize the authority of bodies outside it. The service does not publish a transparency report, a warrant canary or an independent no-logs audit, so there is no way to verify how this works in reality. One more detail: the terms forbid residents of Italy itself from using the service.

Related brands

The only related product is the Eddie client for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. It is released under the GPLv3 license, with the code available on GitHub and GitLab. The data shows no other VPN brands under the same owner. The service does not name an iOS app of its own; on that platform connections are set up manually through WireGuard or OpenVPN.

What to compare it with

The ownership structure is easy to compare with the owner of Mullvad and other companies from the list of VPN owners. Ratings for security, price and network are collected on the AirVPN profile.

Does AirVPN have a parent company?

No, the service is run by a sole proprietor based in Italy.
