Every day, the world gets more and more connected and everyone does not always figure out or understand the underlying risks related to privacy and personal data.

Nowadays, protecting its data becomes a necessity and the thought of using a VPN provider based in dodgy states or in financial paradises appeared inconceivable to me.

Besides privacy, one is not aware of free access contents in its own country that could get blocked or unavailable outside the state borders.

Jerome, Europamente founder, remembers, during a long stay overseas for work, how frustrated he was for not having access to a rugby match that was neither available on local TV nor on the internet due to geographical constraints.

From this experience and his technical background in systems & cybersecurity, he started implementing his own personal VPN servers and then, little by little, deployed others for family and friends willing to gain similar security, freedom and comfort.

The subsequent step was to build Europamente as a natural link to Europe from abroad and ease access to Internet contents to European fellows whilst ensuring security, reliability and fast access. The European GDPR guaranties strong protection of personal data that is essential.
