Really good does what is says it does just a little unreliable sometimes

1.1.1.1 is really nice it improves your speed and doesn’t effect my battery by a noticeable amount my only complaints is that sometimes it just breaks and sometimes needs to be turned off for an hour or speedtests will show latency in the 700ms sometimes when normally it runs at about 25ms on my wifi

not sure what causes this but it happens only about once a month

my other complaint is that the app takes super long to load up i just want to turn it on/off sometimes and it can take a full 2 minutes to load when it’s having one of its issues

Works amazingly! (New Zealand)

I think there has been some confusion in the reviews, this is a DNS not a VPN a SNS is different. I can’t remember what it stands for but I know that VPN means; Virtual Private Network. This just makes your internet requests use there servers rather than ISP (internet service provider) DNS service. But over all extremely simple to use and works exactly how I expected to! Even some extra features in there also!

Mixed feelings, but mainly disappointment

I used the app for about 2 weeks, and in that time I felt very occasional speed boosts as compared to my previous experience. While this could be placebo effect, I do genuinely think there were times it really did add bits of speed to my LTE experience. However, on WiFi, I consistently noticed slower speeds and distinct connection issues! Specifically, all of my social media apps had consistent problems loading images and videos, including avatar thumbnails! Before writing this review, I have gone 2 days without the app installed and I have noticed much better performance over WiFi WITHOUT the VPN. LTE service has no real discernable change in these 2 days, which is not particularly encouraging.

Good idea, but kills my battery

I saw a friend using this app on his iPad. I then went to the web and researched it. I thought the goals of this app (better privacy, speed) were really good ones, and I thought the app was an innovative way of achieving them.

Unfortunately, I found the app was killing my battery. I downloaded it to my 12.9” iPad Pro, my 11” iPad Pro, and my iPhone XS Max, and it was the same on all of them. As soon as I disabled the app, my battery drain returned to normal. Interestingly, as someone else mentioned in their review, the battery indicators on my iPads and iPhone didn’t show the app as using much battery. But I could notice a substantial difference in battery drain with the app enabled vs. disabled.

Too bad! I really wish this app didn’t drain my battery as fast as it does. But it looks like Comcast is going to be able to see my DNS queries again.

Has not worked once

I’m in New Zealand & each time I am denied due to location I switch this on & I am still denied ?

This is awsome

Saw a benifit , it’s free , keep up good work guys

Looking forward to the new advancements of this already great app

Many apps that are offered for free aren’t really free you won’t have to pay out of pocket but you instead pay with your data they’re collecting and then selling. I don’t think I’m alone in saying I will gladly opt to pay out of pocket for an app that I can trust and makes my privacy a priority. Without naming any names (we all know who they are) as consumers we have been sold out by majority of the big tech companies. You guys are helping to restore something we shouldn’t have ever lost. Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!!!

FOR THE PEOPLE LEAVING NEGATIVE REVIEWS how bout you do a lil bit of reading they never claim to be a vpn or try to float by vague statements or lying by omission. Clearly states that it’s not a vpn app!

Brilliant, fast, free, ethical ...

Open, click, close, all done. Switch from settings. These open source guys and their software are mean, keen and overhead clean. Free or paid DNS servers and certs for security, LAN access and websites. May they prosper and protect our net.

Best DNS Proxy

Fast, reliable and great for pissing off my teachers!

Love this app, except only when I have it on.

This app is amazing for helping crisp everything up while online. It makes everything just feel more snappy. My only issue I have is that I have told multiple people to download it, but when I FaceTime other people with 1.1.1.1 activated, the call will drop without fail. I get about 5-10 seconds of a good call, then the FaceTime drops, every time. Not sure what that issue is or if it can be fixed. It is with every other person that uses this app however.
