A VPN made of homes, not datacenters

Every commercial VPN routes you through a handful of datacenter ranges — the ones streaming services and banks block on sight. ION routes you through real households, so your traffic looks like exactly what it is: a person at home.

Real household IPs — stream, bank and browse without being treated as a bot
Targeting to the ISP — country, state, city or a specific carrier, on demand
Nothing worth logging — exits rotate per session and are never tied to your identity

[ HOW THE NETWORK WORKS ]

Homes carry the traffic. The network pays them for it.

No datacenter leases, no borrowed IP ranges, no silent SDKs. Every exit on the Ice Open Network belongs to someone who opted in and gets paid per gigabyte.

[ DEVELOPERS & AI AGENTS ]

Your agent pays for its own bandwidth

An agent can't sign up for a VPN, can't hold your API key safely, and gets captcha-walled the moment it runs from a datacenter. ION is the first residential exit an agent can buy by itself: one x402 micropayment per request, settled on-chain, no account anywhere.

One endpoint — p.ice.io handles geo, rotation and retries
Pay per request — x402 micropayments, no plan, no minimum
Agent-native — no dashboard, no console login, no human in the loop

[ NODE OPERATORS ]

Spare bandwidth, paid in ION

Run a node on a connection you already pay for and earn on every gigabyte the network routes through it. You choose the cap, you see every request, and you can stop at any time.

You set the ceiling — cap bandwidth, hours and categories
Full visibility — every request routed through you is listed
Paid per gigabyte — settled automatically on the ION chain

Two hundred million homes only works if every one of them agreed to it. Anything else is surveillance with better branding.

SO NOTHING READABLE EVER LEAVES

[ PRIVACY BY DESIGN ]

Nothing readable ever leaves your device

Everything is sealed before it reaches us. What travels out is ciphertext with a destination attached — and it comes out of an ordinary home, in whichever country you asked for.

[ FAQ ]

Questions people actually ask

No — the exits are the difference. A normal VPN owns a few thousand datacenter IPs that every site can identify. ION routes you through household connections that opted in, so you look like an ordinary residential visitor everywhere you go.

They install the node software themselves, set a bandwidth cap, and are paid per gigabyte in ION. There is no bundled SDK and no hidden participation — a node can be switched off at any moment.

Every request is paid for and rate-limited, abusive destinations are blocked at the gateway, and node operators can refuse categories of traffic. Payment per request also makes bulk abuse expensive rather than free.

No. Consumers pay normally; ION settlement runs underneath so node operators get paid automatically. Only the agent API surfaces x402 payments, and that is by design.

Both are encrypted client-side and exportable at any time — mail in standard formats, vault in an encrypted archive you can import elsewhere. No lock-in beyond your own keys.

The proxy network and agent API are live for early partners now. The consumer apps roll out to the waitlist in order, with founding pricing locked for the first cohort.
