## What is Disconnect Premium VPN?

Disconnect Premium makes it easy to protect yourself from unwanted tracking inside websites, apps, and email! The most powerful and user friendly VPN app now includes unique SmartVPN technology that empowers you with an unprecedented amount of privacy and control over tracking and encryption. Full VPN setting routes and encrypts all traffic through a VPN server location of your choice. We strive to provide the best and most usable privacy solutions available. Our pioneering VPN products offer strong protection without causing any hassles, slowdown, or breakage. 

OUR PROTECTION POWERS PRIVACY FOR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE 
Disconnect’s privacy technology is integrated into several popular browsers including Mozilla's Firefox and Microsoft's Edge and our apps have been Featured by The New York Times, Washington Post, 60 Minutes, Today Show, Wired, & many more! 

YOUR PRIVACY IS OUR BUSINESS, WE DON'T WANT YOUR DATA
Disconnect never logs, tracks, or collects any of your online activity or personal information, except the information you explicitly volunteer (like if you decide to email us).

PREMIUM FEATURES
- Protection across all your apps, browsers and email inboxes
- Device wide tracker protection, which results in faster page and app loads, reduced bandwidth, better battery life
- Easy to use firewall empowers you to block whatever you want
- Real-time list of trackers trying to collect your location and online activity
- Stats dashboard shows what's blocked, along with time and data savings
- Encrypt all Internet connections, to prevent Wi-Fi snooping and other forms of surveillance
- Full VPN mode masks your location / IP address
- “Less breakage” mode automatically does not route traffic through VPN when visiting sites and services known to block VPNs

MORE DETAILS
- Utilizes servers in over 180 locations and 80+ countries to ensure fastest connections
- Blocks invisible tracking and malvertising threats
- Works on Wi-Fi and Cellular (2G, 3G, 4G, LTE, etc)
- Supports 32 and 64-bit devices

Our Tracker Protection technology is integrated into popular browsers and is now available to block trackers inside all your apps. Premium blocks trackers by setting a DNS to prevent known tracking domains from connecting. We are solely focused on privacy and have a well-defined policy, which you can view here: https://disconnect.me/trackerprotection. We are not an ad blocker and never accept money for whitelisting. We give you full control of which trackers are blocked or allowed.

Why secure HTTP and DNS matter? Your device loads thousands of unsecured HTTP and DNS connections everyday. These unencrypted connections are vulnerable to surveillance. Our technology encrypts your DNS and HTTP connections. We NEVER store or log any traffic routed through our servers and don’t track your IP address or any other personal info, except the info you volunteer.

VPN ADVISORY
Apple gives itself and all app developers the ability to route device traffic over your device’s cellular interface without any user notice or permission. This means that even if you are using a VPN, Apple or any app you use could receive your cellular IP. You can prevent this by using the VPN on Wi-Fi only and turning off your device’s cellular connection. We are actively working on a better solution.

### 5/5 — Very happy user

*2025-12-17*

So happy to have this privacy-protecting tool. Developers are always quick to help with questions, and they confirmed the app/VPN takes no data.

### 1/5 — False advertisement

*2025-04-16, version 3.1.10*

They stated on their app that they give you a seven day free trial and then will charge you $79.99 for a year. They immediately charged me without no free trial and when I put in for a refund, it was denied so very skeptical. Watch yourself with this one. Developer has contacted me and they agreed with me they claim it is apples fault, and they say I should get a full refund, still no satisfaction out of apple or the developer!

### 1/5 — False advertisement

*2025-04-09, version 3.1.10*

They stayed on their app that they give you a seven day free trial and then will charge you $79.99 for a year. They immediately charged me without no free trial and when I put in for a refund, it was denied so very skeptical. Watch yourself with this one.

### 5/5 — Needs urgent care

*2025-02-15*

@developer.    I been using this for now over so many years. A wonderful app but as I reported last time only one server Singapore works or gets connected always. Most of the other server or locations never get connected or if they do for a very brief period of time. This needs ur urgent care.

**Developer response:** Current Response: Thank you for the update on what you're seeing. Please do reach out to our support team at support@disconnect.me so we can work on what is causing the server trouble you're experiencing. 

Second response: Thank you for sharing what you're seeing with the servers. If you can, please reach out to our support team (support@disconnect.me) with any additional information you may have so our team can dig into what may be causing the issue.

Original response: Sorry for the inconvenience. This is not the normal experience and we are actively trying to figure out what is going on. The best way for us to try and help you troubleshoot is via email. Please reach out to support@disconnect.me with details about your cellular and wi-fi provider. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and apologies again for the hassle.

### 2/5 — The Sites I want To Be Shielded From NOT Routed Through VPN!!!

*2025-01-10, version 3.1.10*

UPDATE!!!
This crApp is lagging when I switch temporary permissions off for Amazon and others. I’m believing it’s to give them time to take your data because it never used to do this. My trust is gone and I’ll probably be dumping this one.  
This was before…
 I just discovered that Google, Farcebook, etc are NOT ROUTED THROUGH VPN!!! So, WHY am I paying for this so-called "protection" of my privacy?!!!

### 5/5 — apple製のデバイス

*2024-12-31, version 3.1.10*

iPhoneを使う時はこのアプリをVPNと DNSとして使う事にしております。なぜなら有名サイトがこぞって集めているビッグデータ集計用の個人データに対して、こちらからどこまでの許容、及びに協力に至るまでを、細かくこちらからコントロールできること。
使用感はスピード低下を伴わず、設定するvirtualな地点に於いても世界の主要都市はカバーしている、しかも専用のサーバーを用いているのが😎
東京が設定できないのでGMT +9に設定したい時に困るかな。
運営の方、smartとfull用に日本を考慮して下さい。客単価とイールド、共にこれから1番伸びてevitaに貢献するはずです。

### 5/5 — Never not with out!

*2024-06-30, version 3.1.10*

Best 🙏♥️🇺🇸

### 4/5 — Manuell hinzugefügte

*2024-05-25, version 3.1.10*
