FastAPN Access is a network acceleration service for just £1 per month that dramatically improves internet performance on high Round Trip Time (RTT) networks like satellite, aviation, and mobile connections. Using PEPSAL (Performance Enhancing Proxy Satellite Acceleration Layer) technology combined with DPD (Data Packet Detection) filtering, FastAPN reduces latency by up to 80%, eliminates unwanted background traffic at source, and accelerates all protocols without requiring any hardware or software installation. Perfect for inflight WiFi, GEO satellite connections, remote locations, and any network with extended response times.
Performance Enhancing Proxy technology specifically designed for satellite and high RTT networks. Converts long wait times into acceptable high-speed connections through TCP optimization and intelligent packet handling.
Data Packet Detection destroys unwanted data at source before it reaches your connection. Eliminates tracking, telemetry, advertising, and background chatter - removing up to 52% of unnecessary traffic.
Advanced congestion algorithms (Hybla-i, Westwood, Tahoe, Reno, OILA) automatically selected based on network performance. Solves high RTT problems and high link error rates simultaneously.
Enables simultaneous use of multiple network interfaces for better resource utilization, throughput, and smoother reaction to failures. MPTCP holds the record for fastest TCP connection at 51.8 Gbit/second.
No hardware installation, no software to install on devices. Simply connect via DNS, Proxy, VPN, APN, or PPPoE settings and acceleration is immediate. Works with any device and operating system.
Automated content controls with DNS-level filtering. Position yourself in any of six global node locations ideal for geo-sensitive needs like corporate VPNs or local streaming.
Monitor throughput, resource usage, and detailed logs through the management portal. Full visibility into bandwidth savings and acceleration metrics.
Specifically engineered for costly satellite links, inflight WiFi, GEO satellites, ATG (Air-to-Ground), and any network with high response times or concurrent user congestion.

Performance Enhancing Proxy Satellite Acceleration Layer (PEPSAL) uses network-level TCP interception to eliminate the performance penalty of high RTT networks. Traditional TCP suffers on satellite links because every packet must travel 35,786km to geostationary orbit and back - about 500ms round trip. PEPSAL intercepts TCP connections at our edge nodes and "pretends" to be the endpoint, completing the three-way handshake locally. This converts a 500ms+ RTT into a sub-10ms RTT from the user's perspective, while our servers handle the high-latency satellite connection transparently in the background.
Data Packet Detection destroys unwanted data at the source before it wastes your expensive satellite or aviation bandwidth. DPD identifies and blocks tracking scripts, telemetry, advertising networks, analytics, and background processes that applications send without user knowledge. In testing, we identified and prevented up to 52% of delivered data as unwanted background chatter. This isn't just faster - it directly reduces bandwidth costs on pay-per-MB satellite services.
Different network conditions require different congestion algorithms. FastAPN automatically selects the optimal TCP variant based on real-time performance metrics. TCP Hybla solves the problem of high RTTs by modifying the congestion window growth to be RTT-independent. TCP Westwood solves high link error rates by continuously calculating bandwidth and using it to set the congestion window when packet loss occurs. Hybla-i combines both for optimal satellite performance. Tahoe, Reno, and OILA algorithms are deployed when terrestrial optimization is more appropriate.
MPTCP enables the simultaneous use of multiple network interfaces - for instance, using both a satellite connection and a cellular backup simultaneously. Data is spread across multiple subflows for better resource utilization, higher aggregate throughput, and seamless failover. If one path fails, traffic instantly reroutes through remaining paths with no connection interruption.
Every packet goes through six conditioning stages: authentication (Proxy or Radius), chatter detection and elimination, user control application, packet validation, algorithm application, and final delivery. This multi-stage approach ensures maximum acceleration while maintaining security and allowing user customization of filtering rules.
