Nice! Article didn't mention but ~/.claude/plans is where it stores plan md file when running in plan mode. I find it useful to open or backup plans from the directory.

HUGOPS

Everything is going to be 200 OK!

Thank you for your thoughtful critique.

It’s a new idea bridging two existing concepts serverless and VPN.

While serverless is an implementation detail to reduce cost, it is also a core user experience when they click the switch to be on.

The section “Serverless! How?” that you referenced, aims to illustrate what a user will experience.

I consider it to be a minimal learning curve, just like all new technologies.

That said, how would you go about best communicating it?

Building Serverless VPN, among the most recent work is an open source iOS app: https://UpVPN.app/ios

https://UpVPN.app : A modern Serverless VPN

Currently trying to get new apps for Apple platform published and going through App Store review process..

Existing apps are open source here: https://github.com/upvpn/upvpn-app

I'd say front and center

If you're looking for VPN alternatives checkout https://UpVPN.app

Because the software is owned by the user - it is same as buying a music or movie CD. How long would the CD work? Here a similar question to ask is how long would the Cloud Providers be available for "lifetime"? The current supported cloud providers are Hetzner, AWS Lightsail, DigitalOcean, Akamai Linode and Vultr. They all seem to be around for quite a while and so I expect product to keep working for forseeable future by which time a user can easily get the value for the price they paid for the product.

For sake of argument for "lifetime": even if some of these cloud providers go out of business the probablity of all of going out of business is low, and so software will keep on working.

I'm also expecting new cloud providers to appear over long period of time worth adding support for.

Your comment is just for internet points.

Other than that I'll answer the questions some of which already have information on website or the installation or product walk-through videos.

how much it will cost you to run on whichever cloud you use: Hetzner being the chepeast at the moment ~$4/mo. Ofcourse your own hardware $0/mo

will this software get updates to support new API versions or other changes these clouds might make?: So far I haven't seen a cloud provide deprecate their APIs (please do provide real example if so) but this would be handled as software update

Will it automatically support new regions?: Via software updates

Will it automatically support new instance types?: Yes already supported, more info on website and product walk-through video

If you'd like to have civil discussion other than calling "scam", futher questions are welcome

https://UpVPN.app for couple of minutes of VPN

I shipped desktop app for all three major OS Linux, Windows and macOS.

Because of the programming choices of Rust for application/backend and Typescript for frontend - Tauri was perfect fit for me.

So far Tauri documentation has been sufficient (and good) for me to achieve what I wanted inside the application. However, platform specific packaging required extra effort because the app required installation of system service/daemon in addition to the frontend app binary - so platform specific pre-install and post-install scripts which setup (or remove on uninstall) those daemon services were not natively supported in Tauri packaging.

You can browse the code here to see what it takes to package and sign installer for various desktop platforms: https://github.com/upvpn/upvpn-app

I'm working on https://UpVPN.app - Serverless VPN

Yeah, you have a point. For security, implementation goes like this: the keys are generated once for a page load and are not recorded (for obvious reason - security), keys are gone after closing the browser tab, so, as far as tool is concerned keys are ephemeral. To generate new keys simply reload the page.

That's an interesting project, perhaps one day, if so I'll post Show HN again :)

Nice!

Was there an internal project name for this? Fubernetes? f8s? :D

Congrats! You've Terraformed the industry!

Good observation, they are not mentioned because those features are not implemented and there's no browser extension for the product.

At the moment product does one thing - VPN for whole system.

Yes, the servers are on public cloud providers.

Its designed to work on many cloud providers. And so its easy to add new locations and new cloud providers.

Currently Linode, Digital Ocean, and Hertzner.

Thank you. There's room for lifetime pricing to evolve - based on demand.

For now, if it hugely benefits customer - I hope they upgrade to lifetime plan!

What was the trademark situation?

This is a first: On refusing their cooking banner it immediately redirects to google.com, poof.

I recently added pricing calculator to see how much a VPN session costs: https://upvpn.app/pricing/#pricing-calculator

Yes IP address is shared with other users - by pooling users on single server. However, if you find provisioning time to be greater than few seconds then its a good assumption that you're the only one using the server.

Thank you for the feedback!

There is no per-month cost, account is free.

$10 is your starting prepaid balance - that you consume by using UpVPN.

California LLC because I'm a resident.

For pricing I describe more in detail in these comments: - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36512794 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36513552 -

This is correct!

There is no per-month cost, opening account is free.

Their installation script is open source and is acknowledged as such.

upvpn is not related to them.
