### 2/5 — extremely bad connection quality

*2026-09-02, version 7.3.0*

The VPN connects, but the connection is terrible. Nothing loads at all, making the app completely unusable and sometimes it gets stuck at 70% while connecting .

### 3/5 — 🛜

*2026-08-09, version 7.2.0*

连接网络不稳定，容易断网，网速卡顿

### 2/5 — 希望支持iOS15.4.1更新

*2026-07-24, version 6.7.3*

因为需要保持iPhone越狱状态，需要保持在iOS15.4.1版本的系统，目前只能安装6.7.3版本的nthlink。希望nthlink后续更新时，能够支持iOS15.4.1。

### 4/5 — 总是能用的好梯子

*2026-06-20, version 7.1.1*

希望能增加用户可自己配置的功能，即可以选择部分本地的联网应用不走VPN

### 4/5 — feedback nthlink

*2026-06-20, version 7.1.1*

Dear nthLink Team,
I write to you with heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for developing and providing such a free and open anti-censorship tool. I am equally grateful for your years of dedicated effort in advancing internet freedom and enabling users worldwide to access open information. Your work holds tremendous significance for those living in restricted network environments.
During my use of nthLink, I would like to share some feedback about my user experience and propose several feature suggestions that I hope could help improve the product:
First, Node Import Functionality. The connection speed when directly connecting to nthLink in my region is relatively slow and does not meet daily usage requirements. However, there are many high-speed public-benefit nodes available as resources. I suggest adding node import functionality that supports importing node configurations from applications such as Shadowrocket and V2Ray, using these fast nodes as upstream proxies. This approach would allow us to fully leverage existing quality node resources while avoiding the risks of account verification triggers and account control measures that come with direct use of public nodes.
Second, Node Export and Traffic Splitting Features. I hope nthLink can support node export functionality and implement traffic splitting capabilities similar to other proxy software—specifically, avoiding routing all traffic through VPN while instead flexibly allocating traffic based on actual needs. This would significantly enhance the software's flexibility and compatibility, improve the overall user experience, and help more users in restricted network environments achieve more stable and secure connections.
I sincerely hope you will seriously consider these suggestions and gradually adopt these features in future versions. Thank you again for your dedication and hard work. I look forward to hearing from you. Why is the built-in feedback unusable? I can only comment here.
Sincerely,

### 3/5 — Thanks for working sometimes

### 5/5 — Best Connection so far

*2026-04-27, version 7.0.0*

I used this app since 2021, it’s constantly able to connect (not always but almost) and that means a lot, you know it’s always not easy to bypass censorships like GFW and that makes them unique, the team has made the great progresses since 2023, I hope they can keep their service for people suffering from the strict censorship from their gov around the world, and to anyone who’s reading this review, nthlink has the best connection so far for me, try this app or support the team if you can

### 1/5 — Won't Update, Lacks Server Selector and Kill Switch

*2026-02-10, version 6.8.4*

The nthLink app won't update while its own VPN is on. Defeats the whole purpose of the service. There are no manual controls over server selection or a kill switch either, which further worsen the experience.
