We are thrilled to have just released SnowHaze version 2.5. This version of SnowHaze comes with many new and exciting features! In this article, we are covering in detail some of the new and improved features in SnowHaze 2.5. The release notes of version 2.5 can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Open Source<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n TL\/DR: SnowHaze is now fully open source!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are very proud to announce that SnowHaze is now fully open source. As a company pushing privacy and security, it has always been a goal for us to provide the source code for SnowHaze. Many people rely on SnowHaze every day. To be sure, that everything you do with SnowHaze is private and safe we make all of SnowHaze’s source code publicly available.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why have we not been open source in the past you ask? We want to do what we preach and we would like to address this legitimate question honestly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When we released SnowHaze 1.0 on July 27th in 2016, there was neither SnowHaze VPN nor a subscription plan. To push the development up to the version released today, we chose a transparent and fair revenue model. The app was not available for free and the revenue covered the development cost of the versions that followed. Thus, making the source code publicly available posed a risk for us. Somebody could have just copied the code and made an identical app available free of charge. To secure the revenue for the further development, we decided not to publish the source code until the revenue was more robust. This business decision ultimately secured the further development of SnowHaze and led us to where we are today. Since SnowHaze can be downloaded for free, making the source code available is not a risk any longer. We can proudly say that we have a steadily growing revenue that allows us to publish the source code today.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
