Rien à redire

Fonctionne parfaitement, simple et efficace

How do I make a bug report?

When OpenVPN is connected and the iPhone reboots, it still shows it is connected even though this is not true. You have to manually disconnect and reconnect. I would like the app to automatically reconnect after boot, or if that is not possible, then at least to correctly show it is disconnected after boot.

Why No Haptic Touch / Quick Actions?

Why doesn’t this app support Haptic Touch / Quick Actions? Long-pressing the app icon should offer shortcuts like Turn On, and Turn Off instead of forcing me to open the app every time.

アップデート後、約10MBで強制切断される

本日のアップデート後、わずか10MB程度しか通信していないにもかかわらず、VPN接続が突然強制的に切断されました。

その後、再接続するには30分待つよう要求されます。

VPNは接続の安定性が重要なのに、これほど少ない通信量で一方的に切断されるのは非常に困ります。アップデート前より明らかに使いにくくなりました。

このような制限を設けるのであれば、接続前に利用者へ明確に表示してほしいです。

makes my internet slow

not a good vpn, if I didn’t have to use it for a website I wouldn’t at all. It makes my internet unbearably slow I legit had to go back to WiFi just to load the App Store to write this review. Hord VPN is better.

It’s good

Good support and response from the team. Good app if you’re savvy to understand the profile configurations. One caveat, although subjective, the VPN icon should be moved to the iOS tray rather than next to the top left. User experience isn’t so great when you question yourself when you established a connection or not.

funktioniert bei mir zuverlässig

benutze openvpn für eine sichere Verbindung mit meiner eigenen Cloud, hatte noch nie Verbindungsprobleme. Bin allerdings beim Erstellen der config-Datei genau nach Anleitung vorgegangen und hat sofort funktioniert, auch wenn der Server hinter einer Fritzbox ist.

STUPIF

IT DOESNT WORK SURFSHARK IS BETTER

Doesn’t connect

I download a new vpn profile it works and after a while it just loads super long and then it gives me an error message saying “connection timeout” this has happened to about 4 profiles

Даже не скачвайте

Еле разобралась что да как, но по итогу ничего не заработало, хаха. Впн magnom в телеграмм могла бы рекомендовать для приложений заблокированных в России, а это нет

Good luck

I love it so much

Unbelievable in 2026

Import profile require to share all files in 1 shot, but did not provide an easy/simple interface to add it manually. Did you really test it on IOS? Only the .ovpn is recognised, others are none flagged

We need a feature to prevent accidental deletion of configuration files

Don’t ask me why I’m making this request—I really did make a mistake.

Can’t import the files in any way can’t open it from the field can’t import it by drag and dropping

And the interface dosent match the screenshots

Cannot work

アプリ開いても画面真っ白で使えない

Does not work

How to upload config files to the app if it needs 2 files (.ovpn and .key) but you can’t upload both at same time?

Нормуль

doc_si_bot в телеге и полет нормальный

Какой URL?

Захожу в приложение а пишут вписать какой то url который нигде не могу найти

Upload files issue

Upload files page is a blank and there is nothing appear to give the ability to upload files

Connection drops when phone is locked

When I lock my phone, the VPN disconnects and does not stay active in the background. I’m using an iPhone 16 with the latest iOS version. Please fix this issue.
