X-VPN Announces 2026 Network and Protocol Updates

Singapore, 15th Dec 2025 – X-VPN, a VPN service provider based in Singapore, today announced updates to its network infrastructure, protocol options, and service tiers for 2026. The updates include expanded protocol support, infrastructure optimization, and continued availability of a no-login data tier alongside premium subscription options.

The company reports that as of Q4 2025, its network consists of 8,500+ servers across 225 regions. The service operates from Singapore, which maintains independent data protection frameworks separate from multinational intelligence-sharing agreements.

Singapore-Based Operations and Privacy Policy

X-VPN is developed by LIGHTNINGLINK NETWORKS PTE. LTD., with headquarters in Singapore. The company maintains a no-logs policy that prohibits collection of browsing history, originating IP addresses, DNS queries, connection logs, and session timestamps.

“Our 2026 roadmap focuses on infrastructure stability and giving users more control over their connection methods,” said Jean Roland, Communications Director at X-VPN. “We’re continuing to invest in protocol diversity and server capacity to support different use cases, from daily browsing to access in network-restricted environments.”

Encryption Standards and Protocol Options

The VPN service uses AES-256 encryption across all connection types. Users can select from multiple protocol options including open-source implementations and X-VPN’s proprietary Everest Protocol, designed for environments with network filtering.

Available security features as of January 2026 include:

• Automatic disconnect protection (kill switch)
• RAM-based server architecture
• Encrypted DNS resolution
• Selective routing (split tunneling)
• Multi-hop connection routing
• Automatic Wi-Fi network protection
• Built-in connection leak detection

Network Performance and Infrastructure

Following WireGuard integration completed in Q2 2025, the company reports average speed improvements of 35-40% for connections under 1,000km, and 20-25% for intercontinental routes, based on internal testing conducted between August and November 2025.

The service provides access to video streaming platforms and region-specific content services, though connection stability varies by region and platform.

Service Tiers

X-VPN offers two service tiers as of January 2026:

• Standard Tier: Available without account creation or personal information submission. Includes encryption, manual region selection, and core security features. No data volume restrictions apply.
• Premium Tier: Provides access to the full server network, multi-hop routing, dedicated IP options, optimized routing profiles, and priority support. Pricing and feature details are available at xvpn.io/pricing.

“We believe privacy tools should be accessible,” added Roland. “The standard tier provides essential security features without requiring users to exchange personal information for access.”

Availability

X-VPN supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and browser extension platforms. The VPN download for all supported platforms is available through the company’s official website.
