5 August 2026 · TekLan VPN
Welcome to the TekLan VPN blog. This is where we'll explain what's new in the apps, walk through setups that don't fit neatly into a guide, and answer the questions you ask us most. Before all that, here's a proper introduction.
Quick answer: what's this blog for?
- Release notes that explain what changed in the apps and why it matters to you.
- Walkthroughs for setups that take more than a few taps, such as routers, TVs and consoles.
- Plain answers about privacy, protocols and what a VPN can and can't do.
- Beta news, for anyone who likes to try new versions first.
Who we are
TekLan VPN is an independent VPN service based in Lincolnshire, in the UK. It's a brand of MrChrissyServices LTD, a company wholly owned by Chris, with no investors or shareholders. The service is paid for by the people who use it, and that money goes back into it: servers, apps, the VPN Dashboard, support and the guides.
We've been running servers for a long time. TekLan started in 2014 as a hosting company, keeping customers' websites and services online, and we still run hosting today. MrChrissyServices LTD was formed in October 2020, and TekLan VPN is one of its brands.
The VPN began as a small service for people already in the TekLan community. It grew because those clients recommended it to friends and kept telling us what to improve. Even the name came from one of them: Tek for technology, Lan from "clan". That's still how we like to work: close to the people using the service.
How we run it
- Our own servers. We operate the servers ourselves. We're not reselling someone else's VPN under our name.
- In-house support. Support is by ticket, answered by the team that runs the service.
- No browsing logs. We don't log VPN browsing activity, and we don't sell your data for advertising. Our privacy policy sets out exactly what we do keep.
- Prices without the shock. No permanent "limited-time" discounts that jump at renewal. You see the full price for each term before you buy.
- No long commitment. You can start with a single month and move to a longer term later if it suits you.

If you need dedicated resources, for yourself or a business, we also offer private VPN servers, planned with our team before you order. All the prices are on the plans page.
Who writes it
Everything here is written by the people who run the service. We'd rather tell you plainly what something does than dress it up. If something's unclear, or you'd like us to cover a topic, open a ticket and tell us. Plenty of our guides started that way.
