Feature of the Ghost Delete VPN · In development

HallPass

HallPass is a feature of the Ghost Delete VPN, in development. Some networks block VPN connections outright, or slow them down on purpose. HallPass disguises the VPN's traffic so it looks like ordinary web traffic, which makes it much harder for a network to tell a VPN is in use.

The problem it solves

Blocked at the door

Some networks refuse VPN connections outright. The VPN never connects, and there is no error that tells you why.

Throttled or flagged

Others let a VPN connect, then slow it down or flag it, because the connection is easy to recognize as VPN traffic.

Browsing-only networks

School, workplace, hotel, and censored-region networks often allow ordinary web browsing and block almost everything else.

How it works

A VPN connection has a recognizable shape, and network software can spot it. HallPass disguises that shape. It wraps the connection so it resembles an ordinary visit to a website, while the encrypted Ghost Delete VPN still carries your traffic underneath. The network sees regular browsing. HallPass builds on traffic obfuscation research from the Tor Project, including its Stegotorus work on disguising encrypted traffic as ordinary traffic. Stegotorus is research code and has been unmaintained for years, so we are evaluating it against the modern alternatives, including obfs4, Snowflake, and WebTunnel, before committing to a foundation. That evaluation is still ongoing, and we will say what HallPass is built on when it is settled.

One honest limit: disguise makes VPN traffic harder to spot. It is not a guarantee that every network will let a connection through.

A feature of the Ghost Delete VPN

HallPass is not a VPN on its own, and it is not sold separately. It is a feature of the Ghost Delete VPN, which is also in development. The VPN carries the connection. HallPass disguises it. Whether HallPass is included in the VPN price or offered as an add-on has not been decided.
