History

Golden Frog's core team has been developing Internet applications and security software since 1994. Golden Frog was incorporated in 2009. In that same year, it launched its VyprVPN Personal VPN service commercially, after initially offering the service through its partnership with Giganews. Golden Frog’s service offerings are based around improving end-user Internet privacy and security.

In late 2011, Golden Frog launched the VyprVPN application in Beta form for Windows users which allowed them to switch between VyprVPN server locations and protocol types without any manual setup. In early 2013, the application graduated from Beta and the 1.0 release was officially announced for Windows users only. In late 2012, mobile versions of the application became available for iOS and Android devices. In early 2013, the desktop version of the application was announced for Mac OS X. VyprVPN is currently available on Mac, iOS, Windows, Android and several other platforms.
