Vikas Swami
Founder & Creator at OllaVPN • Dual CCIE #22239 (Routing & Switching, Security)
About
Mr. Vikas Swami founded Networkers Home in 2007 and continues to run it from HSR Layout, Bangalore. He holds Dual CCIE #22239 — Routing & Switching, cleared in October 2008, and Security, cleared in January 2009. The two lab exams were passed within ninety days of each other, placing him among very few engineers worldwide to have completed two CCIE-level lab certifications in such a short window. The CCIE lab is an eight-hour hands-on practical examination; most engineers take three to five years between two CCIE certifications.
He is a mechanical engineer by training, with a specialization in Production Engineering and Industrial Management. He later completed the Executive Program in Innovation at the National University of Singapore. Before founding Networkers Home, he worked at Wipro, HP, Cisco, and Mobily — the Saudi Arabian carrier. His tenure at Cisco included a role on the TAC VPN team in 2004, the global escalation desk responsible for resolving VPN failures across Cisco's enterprise and carrier customer base. That role is the technical foundation behind the VPN-domain companies he has built since.
His current work spans five domains. In the VPN industry, he is the founder of QuickZTNA (zero-trust network access), QuickSDWAN (software-defined WAN), 21Tunnel (secure tunnel infrastructure), OllaVPN (consumer VPN), and MeshWG (a hosted mesh VPN that turns existing routers and servers into private networks without complex clouds).
Core Research & Architectural Focus
Under Mr. Vikas Swami's architectural leadership, OllaVPN focuses on pioneering next-generation post-quantum resilience, WireGuard kernel acceleration, and audited zero-retention topologies:
