4 November 2026 · TekLan VPN
Most VPN brands you've heard of belong to a handful of large companies. TekLan VPN doesn't. If you're wondering who's behind the service you trust with your connection, here's who we are and how that shapes what you get.
Quick answer
- TekLan VPN is a brand of MrChrissyServices LTD, a UK company wholly owned by Chris.
- It's based in Lincolnshire and has no investors or shareholders.
- We run our own servers, answer support in-house, and don't log VPN browsing activity or sell it for advertising.
Where it started
TekLan has been running servers since 2014, when it started as a hosting company. We still run hosting today. MrChrissyServices LTD was formed on 13 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 others, told us what they wanted improved, and stuck with us while we improved it.
The name comes from one of those early clients: Tek for technology, Lan from "clan". It's still a fair description of how the service works.
Who owns it
TekLan VPN is a brand of MrChrissyServices LTD, a UK company (number 12947362) wholly owned by Chris. We're based at The Pavilion, 29 Church Street, Digby, Lincoln LN4 3LZ. Our terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
There are no outside investors. The service is funded by the people who use it, so the people we answer to are our clients.
How it's run
- Revenue goes back into the service: servers, the apps, the VPN Dashboard, support and the setup guides. We'd rather grow steadily than run permanent discounts that leave you with a shock at renewal.
- We operate our own servers. We're not a reseller of someone else's VPN.
- Support is in-house. Tickets are answered by the team that runs the service, not an outsourced call centre. Technical support runs around the clock.
- Clients shape what we build. Many changes in the apps, the Dashboard and the guides started as a ticket or a conversation with a client.
What that means for your privacy
We don't log VPN browsing activity or sell it for advertising. Being a small, directly owned company means there's a clear route to ask how the service works, and a direct answer when you do. Our privacy policy sets out what we hold and why, and our post on what a VPN does and doesn't do is an honest guide to what to expect from any VPN, ours included.
What else we do
The VPN is one part of what we build. We also run TekLan hosting and related technology services, and fund new projects where we think we can make a useful difference. You can read more on our about page.
