VolnaLink VPN operates servers in Istanbul. The node runs on a 10 Gbps uplink, supports modern WireGuard and OpenVPN protocols, and falls under the jurisdiction of KVKK (Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data) — the Turkish GDPR equivalent.
Node specifications
- Location. Istanbul — one of the key data centres of the region.
- 10 Gbps capacity. Sufficient for 4K streaming, video calls and online gaming concurrently.
- Physical servers. Not virtual, not shared VPS — dedicated hardware in carrier racks.
- Protocols. WireGuard for speed, OpenVPN for compatibility.
- Low ping across anatolia, the balkans and the middle east. The node sits at the major regional peering points.
Ping measurements
- Istanbul ↔ Moscow: 40-55 ms

Privacy and jurisdiction
The node operates under: KVKK (Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data) — the Turkish GDPR equivalent. This is the formal framework defining what data a provider must collect and what it must not.
VolnaLink runs a no-logs policy. The following are never recorded:
- client IP address before or after connection;
- websites visited or DNS queries;
- session start and end times;
- volume of traffic transferred.
Connection security
- AES-256 encryption. The same standard banks and government systems use.
- Kill-switch. If the VPN tunnel drops, all internet traffic is blocked until the connection is restored. The real IP cannot leak.
- DNS-leak protection. DNS queries travel through the encrypted tunnel, not through the ISP.
- Public Wi-Fi safety. The connection from device to VPN server is fully encrypted — open access points in airports and cafés are no longer a risk.
