About Vilfo

Vilfo is created by the team behind OVPN.com, but is an entirely independent company. Years ago, we started the development of a product called OVPNbox - which was a router based on pfSense.

We learned a lot by building OVPNbox, and several lessons were tough. Vilfo is the result of all that learning.

The software for Vilfo was released to OVPNbox owners in January 2018. Their feedback and experience was be the basis on further improvements until we shipped all pre-orders in May 2018.

Vilfo AB is located in Stockholm, Sweden. The team consists of Andy Tsymbal, Tamas Szabo, Roman Kutashenko, Maximilian Holm, Claudiu Boboia & David Wibergh.

2014

The idea of OVPNbox was born

We wanted a simple way to protect all devices in a home or office without having to install software on all units and handle their connectivity.

2015

Delivery of OVPNbox v1

The predecessor of Vilfo, OVPNbox v1, was shipped to customers in May 2015. It was based on pfSense and ran on a Shuttle DS61.

Improvements & new generation of OVPNbox

After feedback from customers we had a long period of releasing updates and learning from our mistakes.

We also wanted to improve the hardware a lot and offer wireless capabilities, and thus we started the search for new hardware.

2016

OVPNbox v2 was released!

Containing a lot of improvements and better hardware we released OVPNbox v2 to the world. Almost a thousand units were sold to OVPN.com customers.

Improvements & lessons

By selling a thousand units we received a lot of feedback. That feedback is the core of Vilfo.

We learned what we did right - and what we should do better. As a result, we hired people to have a full-knitted team of dedicated developers to ensure that Vilfo will provide the best user experience a router can offer.

2017

Start working on Vilfo prototype

We went through about 20 different designs. This was one of the final designs we played with.
