AnchorFree has many amazing challenges in engineering:
You can help stay ahead of governments that are working on blocking access to our service by working on anti-blocking technology and providing people in different countries access to information and content.
You can help develop apps that are used by millions of people daily, to make sure that users can always connect and use our service, and to work on new features that are as user-friendly as they are reliable.
And finally, you can work on a new VPN protocol that works faster and better than anything else on the market and help create new ways of making the protocol more robust and stable.
