Dear customers!

I will try to keep this blog post short. After over 17 years, we have decided to close our business at the end of this year, 2025.

Over the last few years it has become obvious multiple parts of our software layer have become obsolete and often impossible to update without basically creating everything from scratch.

This would have been extremely difficult both from financial as well as time perspective. While this was the most important reason for our decision, it was not the only one.

In the recent years and even more so in 2025, I have noticed change in rhetorics, for the worse, from multiple polititians mostly in the United Kingdom, Australia and European Union.

It is truly sad to hear prominent western polititians support censorship, either openly or disguised as some form of “protection”. Such a censorship push, not matter what name is used, will inevitably have to target VPN providers.

While large companies will be able to fight back thanks to their expensive legal teams, Identity Cloaker would have no such luxury.

Alternative services:

Many customers ask us for recommendations of alternative services. There are many big VPN services available now and we believe that many will be able to replace Identity Cloaker for most of our customers, including providers such as Nord VPN or Surfshark, while some providers such as Express VPN have, based on the information we received, problems with accessing certain UK based websites.

This may change in the future, and we will keep doing research in the coming weeks. I apologize for the delay in this case. Updates will be posted as more information is available.

Final thoughts:

It has been a long journey for us as Identity Cloaker launched in September 2008 and we still have customers that have been with us from almost the very beginning. It has been a difficult decision for us, and for me personally, but one that had to be made.

Thank you all for being a part of Identity Cloaker!
