The concept is certainly intriguing. However, there appears to be a slight incongruity between the term "Serverless VPN" and the visual elements displaying phrases like "Server Created" or "Connect quickly on available server capacity."

This juxtaposition creates a somewhat amusing contrast.

Thank you for your thoughtful critique.

It’s a new idea bridging two existing concepts serverless and VPN.

While serverless is an implementation detail to reduce cost, it is also a core user experience when they click the switch to be on.

The section “Serverless! How?” that you referenced, aims to illustrate what a user will experience.

I consider it to be a minimal learning curve, just like all new technologies.

That said, how would you go about best communicating it?
