GLOSSARY
Glossary
Short explanations of the technologies Vinipuch runs on and the privacy concepts behind them — in plain language, without exaggeration.
What is a VPN?
VPN in plain words: how an encrypted tunnel works, what it changes for privacy and what it does not do. How Vinipuch uses VPN.
What is VLESS?
VLESS is a lightweight data transfer protocol for VPN clients. How it differs from other protocols and why Vinipuch runs it on sing-box.
What is Reality?
Reality is a transport profile over TLS 1.3 for VPN connections: server verification by public key, with no certificates to issue or maintain.
What is traffic encryption?
Traffic encryption in plain words: what exactly is protected inside a VPN tunnel, where protection starts and ends, and what TLS 1.3 is.
What is online privacy?
Online privacy: what data sites and services collect about you, what data minimization is, and how Vinipuch applies it.
