Can you tell us a bit about how the architecture works and why for you, maybe for many VPNs, no logs isn't a marketing slogan, but really a design constraint?
4:09
Yeah.
4:10
So I mean, fundamentally, you know, VPNs, at least privacy VPNs, are a trust shift service.
4:14
You know, uh, you don't trust your internet service provider or that shady Wi-Fi that you might be on, which ironically something, uh, P- Public Safety Canada re- recently suggested, "Hey, you should use a VPN on Wi-Fi," a- a- all while, you know, passing, try, attempting to pass laws like this.
4:31
But ultimately, uh, you, you shift your trust because you do have to trust someone in the end, right? And when you pick a VPN provider, transparency and, uh, you know, the way it operates is very important because, uh, why would you shift your trust to an entity that's gonna store your activities? 'Cause that's exactly what you're trying to avoid, uh, right? So w- w- with that kind of in mind, we bu-- you know, the system was built n- uh, with no logging by default, right? And, uh, in a sense that like w- w- why, why do we, why do we wanna build it this way? Well, I mean, there, there's, there's multiple reasons, you know.
5:06
Uh, if we store all, uh, the information that we, you know, from users' activities, uh, ultimately then we, we, we cannot long, we can no longer say, "Hey, we don't have this data," to local law enforcement, but also foreign law enforcement, right? Uh, because, uh, at that point, you know, we'd be, we'd be lying because we have this information.
5:24
And, you know, what comes with foreign law enforcement, you know, uh, laws in different countries can, can differ significantly and, uh, w- in the case of a clear crime, hey, this person did terroristic things or whatever, threatened to blow up an airport, that, that's okay, that, that, that's, that's clearly a crime.

Why don't we, why don't we close with this? If there's one thing that each of you would want a Canadian listener to take away, whether that's a message they should send to their member of Parliament or something they should be thinking about with regard to what's really at stake with respect to lawful access right now, you know, what would it be?
