VPN Providers

Wirebump works with two VPN providers: Mullvad VPN and Proton VPN. Both are no-logs providers with strong privacy track records, independent audits, and WireGuard support.

Supported Providers

Mullvad VPN Post-quantum encryption, DAITA, LWO, and QUIC obfuscation options.

Proton VPN Large server network, better IP reputation, and streaming support.

Both providers work seamlessly with Wirebump’s topology builder. Use them individually, in parallel, or chained together for multi-hop circuits.

Multiple Accounts

Wirebump supports adding multiple accounts per provider. You can have two or more Mullvad VPN accounts, two or more Proton VPN accounts, or any combination.

This enables split knowledge configurations where different accounts handle different layers of your VPN circuit. The entry hop uses one account. The exit hop uses another. Neither account holder sees both your real IP and your destination traffic.

For more on why this matters: Split Knowledge

Adding Accounts

1. Open the Wirebump web UI
2. Go to Settings
3. Find the VPN Providers section
4. Enter your account credentials

Accounts are stored locally on the Wirebump device. Credentials never leave your hardware.

Recommended Multi-Provider Setup

A solid split-knowledge configuration: Use Mullvad VPN as your entry hop to get post-quantum encryption over your untrusted ISP link. Then hop to Proton VPN for exit to benefit from better IP reputation and streaming compatibility. You get PQ protection where it matters most and a smoother browsing experience at the exit.

Why Use Multiple Providers?

Different providers operate in different jurisdictions with different trust boundaries. If one provider is compromised or legally compelled, the other layers of your circuit remain intact.

Chaining Mullvad VPN and Proton VPN together means:

• Neither provider sees both ends of your connection
• A compromise at one provider does not expose your full traffic path
• You are not relying on a single company’s infrastructure or legal standing

This is the same principle behind Tor’s design, applied to commercial VPNs with better performance characteristics.
