# Granny VPN

**Granny VPN** is a privacy-focused VPN service built as an infrastructure layer within the Zylo ecosystem.\
It is designed around an access-based architecture that minimizes data exposure and avoids user identification at the VPN layer.

### Overview

Granny VPN provides encrypted network access without relying on traditional user accounts.\
The service separates access control from identity management, reducing the amount of information associated with network activity.

The VPN layer operates independently from user profiles, billing logic, and ecosystem-level accounts.

### Architecture principles

Granny VPN follows a minimal-data design approach.

Core principles:

* no user accounts inside the VPN client;
* no passwords or personal profiles;
* no built-in tracking or behavioral analytics;
* open-source client infrastructure.

This architecture limits the data surface available at the network level and reduces risks associated with centralized identity storage.

### Access model

Access to Granny VPN is managed through secure access keys rather than accounts.

The VPN client validates access based on key status only.\
Keys can be issued, replaced, or revoked without storing user identities or historical usage data within the VPN layer.

This model allows flexible access control while keeping the network layer identity-agnostic.

### Integration with Zylo

Granny VPN is integrated into the Zylo ecosystem through a unified access and subscription management layer.

Zylo handles:

* subscription logic;
* access periods;
* eligibility and discounts.

The VPN client itself remains isolated from economic, account, and identity logic, preserving a clear separation between infrastructure and ecosystem management.

### Token usage

The **Zylo** token may be used within the ecosystem to obtain access, subscription benefits, or discounted plans.

Token-related logic is handled outside the VPN layer and does not affect how network access is technically provided.

### Availability

Granny VPN is available on:

* **Web**
* **Mobile**

### Position in the ecosystem

Granny VPN serves as a privacy-oriented infrastructure component within Zylo, complementing other ecosystem products without introducing additional identity or tracking layers.
