# Introduction

What Pingle is, what this documentation covers today and what is still being written.

Pingle is a VPN service and the platform it runs on: a client written in Rust for the devices people actually use, routing that keeps your country's services on a direct route while blocked sites go through the tunnel, and an SDK — still in development — for building the same tunnel into other products.

This documentation is new. It describes what exists, and says plainly what does not exist yet.

## What is here

- [Getting started with Pingle VPN](https://pingle.one/docs/getting-started) — The apps are not released yet: what they will run on and how to hear when they are out.
- [Pingle SDK](https://pingle.one/docs/sdk) — Building Pingle's tunnel into your own product. In development.
- [API reference](https://pingle.one/docs/api) — The SDK's public interfaces. In development: nothing is published yet.

## Status

| Part | Status |
| --- | --- |
| Pingle VPN apps | Not released yet |
| Pingle SDK | In development, no public release |
| API reference | In development, nothing published |

We do not name dates we cannot keep. Pages appear here as the things they describe become real.

## Elsewhere

- The [Pingle website](https://pingle.one/) describes the service, its [plans](https://pingle.one/pricing) and its [privacy policy](https://pingle.one/legal/privacy).
