What is a VPN service? A Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates a secure connection between you and the internet. It provides you with an encrypted layer of privacy and anonymity, so you can hide your internet activity and location to avoid being tracked (especially on public WiFi networks). 1. Your browsing becomes private: A VPN hides your browsing and search history from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The only thing the ISP can see is your encrypted traffic traveling to the VPN server. 2. You can change your online location: Your IP address gives away your physical location. With a VPN, you can connect to a server in a different country. 3. Your internet activities are anonymous:  A no-logs VPN ensures that no one knows what you’re doing on the web. 4. Your entire device is protected: You can protect your device 24/7 while using any app. Or you can have the VPN active only when using Topix. ** Special Features** The browser has a “screenshot” button. It will save a screenshot of the current webpage and will save the image to an album inside that Topic. The image stored can link you back to the webpage of where the screenshot was taken. This is like creating a visual bookmark of a webpage with the click of a button. Each image you download from the internet will save in your Albums, and that too will remember the webpage you saved it from should you want to visit that site again.

Disclaimer: To ensure your utmost security, Gecko does not keep any data including photos, links and movies on any kind of server. It only uses the internal storage on your device. If you delete the app all this data will be deleted as well. Please make sure you export your photos and movies and make notes of any other data should you need to delete the app for any reason. If you forget a passcode to the app, or to any project, then you will not be able to gain access to the dashboard again if you don't have BioAuth available on your device. This is because Gecko does not send, store or receive any data that you have created. ==================== Links Privacy policy: https://www.termsfeed.com/live/7ac450f1-142d-464a-9d85-5107d356dcce Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ ## Key features - Private browsing with VPN - Location masking - Photo and video vault - Ad-blocking - Face ID/Touch ID security - Tabbed browsing - Unlimited albums ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | annual subscription | $2.99 | per year | | Vpn Monthly Subscription | $3.99 | per month | | VPN Weekly Subscription | $0.99 | per 7 days | | Vpn Yearly Subscription | $29.99 | per year | ## Frequently asked questions about Gecko Web Browser ### What is Gecko Web Browser?
