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.
Made for people who need home to follow them
If a US login depends on you looking like you're still home, this is built for you.
Americans abroad & expats
Keep your bank, brokerage, and IRS/SSA logins working from another country.
Long-term travelers & nomads
Move freely while your accounts still see one steady, trusted home address.
Remote workers
Reach work portals and tools that block or flag foreign and VPN IP addresses.
Snowbirds & frequent flyers
Spend months away without re-verifying your identity every time you log in.
Sound familiar?
- • Your brokerage flags the login and freezes the session.
- • Your bank texts a verification code to a number that doesn't work abroad.
- • Your work portal simply refuses a foreign IP.
Ownhearth makes all of that go back to normal — because you're on your real home connection.
Set up in about ten 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.
The part everyone else gets wrong
It stays connected. That's the whole point.
If you've used a "home IP" box before, you know the real problem isn't setting it up — it's the tunnel quietly dying on flaky hotel Wi‑Fi, right when you need your bank. And then being told to schedule a call to fix it.
It fixes itself
We spent a year killing these dropouts on our own routers. The result is a small self‑healing watchdog that lives on your boxes and quietly re‑establishes the connection — usually before you even notice it blinked.
And a human answers
If something does need us, you email and a real person replies — no ticket queue, no "let's book a 30‑minute call." The whole product exists because we were tired of exactly that.
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 |
| If the connection drops | Fixes itself — a human answers | You troubleshoot, or book a call | Switch servers and hope |
| 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.
