ArgoVPN has several key features such as Falcon and Bridges. With Falcon, you can register and add your own domain name to use with ArgoVPN.
There is also a feature called “ArgoVPN Bridge” that allows you to connect to ArgoVPN servers through some non-public addresses.
The Filtershekanha team has added different features to ArgoVPN that are usually only available in commercial VPNs. For example, ArgoVPN has a built-in firewall that allows you to block certain websites, so those addresses will remain blocked as long as you are connected to ArgoVPN’s servers. ArgoVPN also allows users to use “Cloudflare Family” and Cloudflare Malware, so you can have the benefits of “ArgoVPN Firewall” and “Cloudflare Family” at the same time.
ArgoVPN is also able to exclude specific URLs. For example, you can exclude unblocked download sites from your Exceptions list. This feature ensures that when you are connected to the Internet through ArgoVPN, the traffic for the specified website does not pass through ArgoVPN’s tunnel.
DNS servers, DNS leak prevention, Kill-Switch (still in beta), excluding specific apps in ArgoVPN tunnels are other features available in ArgoVPN. In the future we will add more features to ArgoVPN based on user feedback.
But the most important feature of ArgoVPN is its security and respect for user privacy. Once connected to ArgoVPN, your connection will be encrypted with AES-GCM-128 or ChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphers. The password selection is made automatically based on your smartphone’s processor architecture in order to provide you with the highest possible internet speed for accessing online services. After each connection, the encryption key for your connection will be randomly generated (different from the last time you connected). This is done by using our proprietary protocol called Argo Authenticator.
The protocol was designed by the Filtershekanha team with the goal of endpoint server authentication and secure, fast cryptographic key exchange between client and server.
Cure53 reviewed ArgoVPN in two iterations, first in February 2020 and then in April 2020. The reviews and audits conducted by Cure53 are specific to the security and privacy aspects of software.
