Who we are
Boycat started as an app that helps you check whether the brands you buy from match your values. The same team makes the Boycat browser extension and Buycat VPN. Buycat VPN launched in 2025.
We built a VPN because ownership matters for a VPN more than for almost any other product: whoever runs it can see where your traffic goes. Read our no-logs policy and privacy policy for what we do and don't keep.
