What is Talaria

What is Talaria

Talaria is X-VPN's in-house VPN protocol, built from the ground up for speed. It moves data more efficiently, improving performance on high-bandwidth networks while keeping speed loss low in everyday use.

And speed isn't the only priority. Talaria uses TLS 1.3 to encrypt your connection and hybrid post-quantum key exchange to help protect against future quantum attacks. It's also open source and has undergone an independent security assessment by Vantage Point Security.

Faster by the Numbers

We tested Talaria across devices and network speeds, from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps. Here's what we found.

200%+ Speed Improvement

In our internal 10 Gbps tests across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, Talaria delivered over 200% aggregate improvement in download and upload speeds compared with X-VPN's previous best-performing protocols.

Check App Availability

<5% Download Speed Loss

In 1 Gbps and 100 Mbps tests on Windows and macOS, Talaria kept at least 95% of the download speed measured without a VPN across local, nearby, and long-distance connections.

What Makes Talaria Fast?

Talaria is designed to move data faster with less unnecessary processing. Here's how it works.

Smooth Performance Across Apps

Talaria gives each app connection its own data channel, allowing multiple streams to run at the same time. This helps keep things running smoothly when you're streaming, browsing, and downloading at once.

Process More Data at Once

Instead of handling data packets one by one, Talaria processes them in batches and moves them through a streamlined pipeline. This cuts repeated work and frees up processing power for faster transfers.

Fewer Steps for Your Data

On supported paths, Talaria forwards traffic as complete connection flows rather than handling each packet individually. This reduces extra processing steps and helps data move more efficiently.

  • UK Broadcasting RightsProtection Against Future Quantum Threats
  • Talaria uses hybrid post-quantum key exchange, combining established security methods with technology designed to resist future quantum attacks when creating encryption keys.
  • Options While TravellingProtection for Every Connection
  • Each connection gets its own encryption keys, with separate keys for sending and receiving data. Talaria also checks for tampering and blocks duplicate or expired data packets.
