Where the server lives

Vaultwarden in Rio de Janeiro

With Rio de Janeiro selected, your VPS with Vaultwarden runs in Mega's original data center, on our own network with a presence at the Rio internet exchange (IX.br) and redundant transit. It is the lowest latency for users in Rio, Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, and our support team works in the same city as the server.

What is Vaultwarden

Vaultwarden is a password server written in Rust and released under the AGPL-3.0 license. It reimplements the Bitwarden API, so it works with the Bitwarden browser extension, mobile apps and desktop apps.

Vault contents are encrypted on each person's device, using their master password, before being sent. The server only stores data that is already encrypted, and anyone with access to the VPS cannot read the passwords without that key.

On Mega, the installation comes with the /admin panel and an admin key generated only for your server. Through it you invite users, decide whether sign-ups stay open and manage your team's access.
