SPN enables users to select different identities (IP addresses) for each app. Certain apps and domains can be excluded as well. Volunteers are able to host a community node but there are no rewards yet, so it can be assumed that the majority of nodes are run by the Safing team.

A hardened pick. Worth the effort once you have chosen to shrink your footprint on purpose. Enough for most people. Threat levels
Our take
SPN’s per-app identity routing is genuinely different from a normal VPN: you can give each app its own exit IP instead of funneling everything through one tunnel, which fragments the picture an observer can build. It is a small Austrian project and the network is not the size of a commercial VPN, so expect fewer locations and less speed. Worth it for people who want app-level control and are fine being early to a niche tool rather than buying mainstream polish.
