Your router. Your IP. Your rules.
Bank, invest, and work abroad — without getting locked out.
Travel anywhere and keep your real home IP, so your bank, brokerage, and work logins keep trusting you. Ownhearth is your own private VPN — it runs on routers you own, not on some company's shared servers — so you never look like a stranger on a public VPN. Pay once. No monthly toll, ever.
$79 setup + about $200 of routers you buy and keep. No subscription — that's the whole price. 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Public VPN IPs are shared by thousands — banks flag them and lock you out.
- A subscription VPN is a forever bill for a server you never see.
- Ownhearth uses your home connection. To every website, you look like you're home.
- The traffic never touches our servers. We can't see it. Nobody can resell it.
Your real home IP
Banks, brokerages, and work portals know your home and trust it. Ownhearth makes every site see your genuine home address — so the lockouts and extra verification stop.
Rock-solid, on purpose
Home tunnels are notorious for silently dropping on flaky hotel Wi-Fi. We built a self-healing watchdog — after a year of fighting this ourselves — that reconnects before you ever notice.
Independent by design
Not another VPN subscription you rent from a big company. The whole thing runs on hardware you own. No account to keep paying, no servers to trust, no one to answer to.
Private — even from us
Your traffic flows straight between your own two routers. It never passes through Ownhearth. We can't see where you go or what you send, and there's nothing to sell.
Set up in about five minutes
Three steps. No networking knowledge.
Plug in your home box
Connect the little router we recommend to your home internet. It becomes your private doorway home.
Run our helper
Download a small app, click once. It sets up both routers for you — no config files, no command line.
Travel on your home IP
Take the travel router with you. Connect, and you're online exactly as if you were sitting at home.
Pay once. Own it forever.
Most "home IP" services bill you every single month. Ownhearth charges a one-time setup fee, then it's yours — running on your own hardware.
| Ownhearth | Typical home-IP service | Public VPN | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Looks like your real home | Yes | Yes | No — shared IP |
| What you pay | $79 once | Monthly, forever | Monthly, forever |
| Who owns the hardware | You do | They do | They do |
| Can they see your traffic | No | Sometimes | Yes |
| Works if we disappear | Yes — it's yours | No | No |
Why we built this
We got tired of being locked out — and of VPNs that drop.
We're travelers who got locked out of our own bank and brokerage one too many times, and burned by "home IP" services that billed every month and still dropped on hotel Wi-Fi. So we spent a year making a setup that runs on our own routers and quietly fixes itself. Ownhearth is that setup, packaged so you can have it in an afternoon — and a real person answers when you write in.
