Easy and effective

works well but needs more countries to select from for a vpn maybe a more in depth vpn

Do not purchase

I downloaded and utilized the VPN and DNS. The VPN does not utilize WiFi which basically renders it useless. I used just the DNS and it slowed my iPhone 17 pro max down so much it was basically useless. I asked Apple for a refund and was denied with no justification.

Voluntary Pegasus

Shawn Ryan is a pseudonym.
Just use Tailscale with an exit node.

7 Day Rotation

You should enable the app. to work with AI and have all your passwords rotated every seven days like we had to do with the cac cards in the military. I was on my way making a security app called AI vault and that was one of the main features I wanted to put on my app. You should seriously consider doing it. I’ll be like any other password app that saves your password, but AI every seven days changes the password and like the password app would save your passwords on the device. Seriously consider doing it because this app is just bare bones right now.

Over hyped

Sean is a deep state shill and falsely advertised this app

Put the dope on the table

Not a burner — read the privacy policy first. The policy says calling collects call metadata and voicemail audio, associated with your account and kept. Twilio provisions the number, so it's a carrier number tied to your email and payment, not no-trail. Not unlinkable, and not worth $14.99/mo + $4.99/line on a privacy claim.

Awesome app

Can’t say enough how much I love this app. It’s blocking over 1000 web trackers a day!! I currently only have 1 burner line just hoping at some point a update will be added to be able to text users with my burner number.

Feedback

The app is slick and easy. However, bit misled that sub fee is extra for additional numbers. Also, the “burners” are call only. Unless I am using it wrong, text feature would be more robust for the use cases advertised.

Doesn't Deliver

I am still getting targeted pop up ads for a specific life event and know this app doesn't work. In light of Shawn Ryan's ties to Shield AI and Anduril I am wondering if this app is a back door surveillance app. Deleted - waste of money.

Must have app

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
707 web blocked in the first 24hrs this is a game changer! Spread the word

Swift & Seamless

I used to use Proton VPN but not only did that have fewer features (no automatic VPN connection/disconnection, DNS option, spare number for a $, etc), it also caused problems on certain sites that somehow were engineered with a VPN blocker. Not sure why those didn’t work with Proton VPN but they work with this VPN, but I’ll take it. I also really like I can use DNS when I’m just on mobile out and about rather than having to run VPN like i used to

My battery and data usage have gone wayyy down

Honestly with just my battery lasting longer and my data being way lower this app is worth it. Seems like my phone has also been operating smoother.

Computer app

Please make it so I can also download this on my computer not just my phone. Thanks!

$15 per month for?

I am confused by all the hype. It is just basically a VPN. Much cheaper and even free options around that have been tested proven.

If Shawn Ryan wasn’t pushing this, it would be $4.99 at most.

Selling Privacy While Profiting From Surveillance

The hypocrisy here is staggering. Glacier markets itself as a company protecting Americans from surveillance, yet its co-founder, Shawn Ryan, publicly acknowledges investing in Anduril, a company that supplies AI-powered surveillance technology to government agencies, and Shield AI, a military drone technology company.

Meanwhile, Glacier Security’s Guardian platform offers organizational location tracking and monitoring capabilities, and the company has documented business relationships in the government and defense sector.

So which is it? Is privacy a fundamental right, or just another business opportunity?

Ryan has publicly stated that he has zero trust in government agencies, yet he financially backs companies developing technology for those same institutions.

The concern isn’t that Glacier has been proven to share customer data with surveillance companies. There is no verified evidence of that. The concern is the glaring conflict between the privacy principles being marketed to consumers and the financial interests of the person promoting them.

Consumers deserve full transparency about ownership, financial relationships, data collection, and exactly who can access their information.

You cannot expect Americans to blindly trust you with their privacy while asking no questions about your investments in surveillance technology.

Israeli Plant

Shawn Ryan is owned by Peter theil. Avoid him and his apps

Great app. Made life safer.

So happy to see this is there. Helps you to feel saife. And keep your own things private.

Thankful for a harden option in a world where I’m leaking private data like a gun shot wound

Is there a reason the numbers don’t allow for text messaging but just calls only?

DNS unavailable

Paid for the subscription and now it’s a paperweight. DNS is showing unavailable.

Let down

Was excited at first, until zero networks were available and the secure phone lines are all a monthly add on as well. Wasted $15 bucks on it deleted and went back to Mullvad
