Swedish internet service provider offering VPN services, secure email, cloud storage, and web hosting with a focus on privacy and data protection
Bahnhof is an internet service provider and web hosting company based in Sweden. Founded in 1994, Bahnhof has grown to become one of the largest independent ISPs in Sweden with a reputation for protecting user privacy and promoting internet freedom.
A key aspect of Bahnhof's services is the emphasis on security and privacy. They offer VPN services to encrypt user traffic and shield browsing data from surveillance and tracking. Bahnhof operates its own VPN infrastructure and pledges not to monitor or log any VPN traffic.
In addition to VPN and internet access, Bahnhof provides secure email services through partnerships with providers like Posteo. Emails are encrypted and stored on servers in privacy-friendly jurisdictions to prevent unauthorized access. Bahnhof was one of the first Swedish companies to enable DNSSEC encryption to prevent DNS hijacking attacks.
Bahnhof is also known for its transparency reports that track requests and demands for user data from authorities. Very few requests are ever fulfilled to uphold privacy rights. The company has fought court battles with copyright holders and defenders of online freedoms in Sweden.
With its technical infrastructure based entirely in Sweden, Bahnhof can serve users who want greater privacy without reliance on overseas providers. Services range from home and business internet access to cloud hosting and data storage solutions with strong contractual privacy guarantees.
