Based on the specific phrase this refers to a specific feature within the NYC DOE (New York City Department of Education) HR/Applicant Tracking portal , most likely the Applicant Gateway or Teacher Application Gateway (TAG) .
A strict, verifiable pipeline. See how R-VPN splits traffic, resolves secure DNS, and prevents unauthorized traffic inspection without relying on opaque, closed-source dependencies.
The client instantly routes local traffic back to your LAN/ISP, while actively dropping ad and tracker domains via a local 0.0.0.0 sinkhole to preserve bandwidth before encryption begins.
The gateway acts as a strict multiplexer. If a network analysis system attempts an unauthenticated probe, the proxy invisibly routes the request to a real Decoy Website.
Authenticated traffic passes to the R-VPN Core, utilizing the Double Ratchet Algorithm and ML-KEM PQC. Future server seizures or key exposures cannot decrypt past messages.
All external DNS requests are encrypted and resolved securely through the R-VPN server, ensuring private browsing.

Incumbent VPNs are heavily centralized. Many are owned by data brokers or operate in jurisdictions with complex data retention requirements. R-VPN ensures privacy through code, not corporate promises.
Security shouldn't come at the cost of system resources. We stripped away the bloat of legacy runtimes and built the R-VPN core entirely in Rust. This guarantees strict memory safety and thread safety without relying on a garbage collector.
The result is a highly parallel, cryptographically secure engine that consumes virtually zero overhead. You don't need dedicated enterprise server hardware or massive cloud instances—you can easily power an entire secure network tunnel for a small office using a single Raspberry Pi.
Run the R-VPN core anywhere. We provide fully open-source binaries for desktop and server environments, alongside premium mobile clients to fund continuous protocol development. Flexibility is paramount: anyone can build a client providing they respect the AGPL license.
