Description

A Company as Old as the Internet Itself

Our founders have been invested in online privacy and security since the dawn of the public internet. Our mission is to design technologies that allow individuals to legally access the internet free of corporate and government intrusions and restrictions. Learn more about our story.

Golden Frog develops software and services that provide reliability, performance and security. We’re dedicated to inventing and perfecting tools that offer a fuller, richer online experience. Golden Frog was founded in response to Room 641a, an infamous room in San Francisco where the NSA was conducting surveillance on AT&T’s networks. We filed papers with the FCC to bring this alarming activity to their attention, but were ignored. Instead of waiting around for the government to protect Internet users, our response was to found Golden Frog to build tools that help preserve an open and secure Internet experience while respecting user privacy.

Golden Frog’s founders, Ron and Carolyn Yokubaitis, are Internet veterans who have owned and operated Internet businesses since the dawn of the public Internet in 1994 (before the Web!). Their businesses include Texas.net (one of the first 50 ISPs in the United States), Giganews (the world’s leading Usenet provider), Data Foundry (data center colocation and managed services) and Golden Frog.
