Periscope turns your home computer into a private VPN server. Stop getting blocked by streaming services or banking apps while traveling. Route your traffic through your own residential IP with a 5-minute setup. No third-party servers, no logging, 100% your data.
I’m Peter, one of the main developers behind Periscope 👋
One of the biggest challenges for us wasn’t encryption itself (WireGuard already gives us a strong foundation), but making connections reliable across real-world networks — hotel Wi-Fi, mobile carriers, CGNAT environments, and restrictive firewalls that often break direct peer-to-peer connectivity.
A lot of our work went into making those situations “just work” automatically. When a direct connection isn’t possible, Periscope can fall back to encrypted relay paths without exposing traffic to third-party VPN infrastructure. The goal was always to keep the privacy model Greg described intact while still making the experience seamless.
If you try Periscope during the launch, I’d especially love to hear how it behaves across different networks — that feedback helps us improve the connection logic quickly.
