Welcome to PrivateZoolio, your trusted partner in secure, affordable, and lightning-fast VPN services in 2025. Founded with a mission to democratize online privacy and break down barriers between users and the open internet, PrivateZoolio has quickly risen to be the best and cheapest VPN solution worldwide. Our commitment to transparency, speed, and security makes us the go-to choice for millions seeking protection from surveillance, censorship, and data theft.
Our story began in the most unlikely circumstances, shaped by hardship, adventure, and a relentless pursuit of freedom — a story told best through the lives and dreams of our four founding members. Each bringing a unique background and flair, they’ve crafted PrivateZoolio into a beacon of digital liberty.
Alex – Chief Security Evangelist
Born in a remote village nestled in the rugged mountains of Kyrgyzstan, Alex’s childhood was marked by isolated winters and a constant struggle to access reliable communication. Growing up, he learned to build his own radio transmitters from scavenged parts to talk with friends miles away — a skill that sparked his passion for communication and security. After narrowly escaping political turmoil during his teenage years, Alex moved to Germany to study cybersecurity. His experiences with surveillance and censorship spurred him to develop encryption algorithms that would form the backbone of PrivateZoolio’s powerful VPN protocols. Today, he leads our security team, ensuring every connection is shielded with military-grade encryption.
Maria – Chief Officer of Office Fun
Maria’s origins trace back to the bustling streets of São Paulo, Brazil, where she grew up in a vibrant but challenging urban environment. As a street performer and community organizer in her youth, Maria learned the importance of connection, joy, and resilience. When cyber threats and internet restrictions started impacting people’s ability to express themselves freely, Maria envisioned a workspace that was as engaging and liberating as the open internet itself. Her role as Chief Officer of Office Fun isn’t just about parties and games; it’s about crafting a company culture that values innovation, inclusivity, and teamwork. Her energetic spirit keeps the PrivateZoolio team connected and motivated to fight for privacy together.
Jin – Head of Global Expansion
Raised as the son of fishermen in a small coastal town in South Korea, Jin’s formative years were shaped by relentless waves and the unpredictability of the sea. His family’s modest lifestyle intensified his ambition to build bridges across borders and cultures. After excelling in international business studies at university, Jin’s adventurous spirit took him backpacking through over 50 countries, exposing him to the differing levels of internet freedom worldwide. Determined to make PrivateZoolio accessible wherever the internet was under threat, Jin manages our global partnerships, penetration into emerging markets, and is the driving force behind our mission of universal digital privacy.
Lana – Director of User Experience and Innovation
Lana’s story begins in the deserts of Namibia, where resources were scarce but creativity flourished. Growing up with limited access to technology, she taught herself coding through recycled electronics and secondhand books. Her love for human-centered design emerged from witnessing firsthand how technology could empower or marginalize communities. Lana joined PrivateZoolio to design an interface that is intuitive for everyone — from tech novices in remote villages to savvy professionals in metropolitan hubs. She continuously innovates to make security seamless, ensuring our service combines robust protection with an effortless user experience.
The journey to 2025 was anything but smooth. The team faced numerous challenges — from governmental crackdowns in certain countries to infrastructural hurdles in developing nations. Yet, each obstacle only strengthened their resolve. Alex’s early work on encryption survived cyber attacks and hacking attempts, while Maria’s relentless effort cultivated a workplace where everyone felt inspired to innovate. Jin forged critical alliances even in hostile environments, unlocking markets previously inaccessible to VPN providers, and Lana’s user-first philosophy earned PrivateZoolio a reputation for simplicity and speed.
Together, the founders turned a small startup with a dream into a global VPN powerhouse supporting privacy rights across six continents. Their combined experiences — from Kyrgyzstan’s mountains to Brazil’s favelas, the South Korean coasts, and African deserts — have instilled a deep appreciation for diverse perspectives and resilient solutions.
At PrivateZoolio, we believe that privacy is a fundamental human right, not an optional extra. Every member of our community colors our shared mission to break down restrictions and let the internet be the open, safe space it was meant to be. Whether you're a remote worker needing secure connections, a traveler protecting your data, or simply a person who values online freedom, we’re here to empower you.
