## What is PairVPN?

- Your own VPN server, on any device!
As easy as installing a mobile app, PairVPN can turn any phone, tablet, or computer into your personal VPN Server. The technology is so innovative that it was actually patented!

Just run the PairVPN app on your connecting device and your server device, pair them once and connect from anywhere. No setup or configuration needed.

- Many uses of PairVPN:
Remote Access to Home/Office Networks
Allow full Internet connections anywhere you go
Protect from snooping on untrustworthy public Internet
Secure your network usage over public WiFi
Establish a peer-to-peer tunnel between any two devices on the Internet

- Privacy is a certainty:
PairVPN is designed in a way that no personal information, password, or security keys are collected or stored remotely. The pairing process ensures your connections stay secure and anonymous even from us. Also unlike normal VPN services, we have no access to your network activities by design.

- Security with ease
For remote access, large corporations can afford to hire network specialists to set up dedicated VPN servers and firewalls. This will not be realistic for many home or small office networks, which may not even have a fixed public IP. The PairVPN app offers simplified security configuration and does not require changing firewall or setting up accounts. By allowing only paired clients to connect it also greatly hardens security.

### 1/5 — Not good with Iphone

*2026-07-01, version 1.9.16*

Fails terribly with Iphone13
using website openspeedtest.com
my result's were:
hotspot from iphone to laptop,
200 Mbps. Connected through PairVpn, it drops terribly to 6-10 Mbps.
Doing the same with my android phone has no negative results, the sped is faster through pairvpn on android than without it. Developer, please look into this.

### 5/5 — Actually life-saving

*2026-06-07, version 1.9.16*

My home WiFi sucks, & my hotspot data ran out. I was considering purchasing new internet or more hotspot minutes, so I could play computer games & such. But then I stumbled across this handy little app whilst doing some research online. Completely free with ZERO pop-up ads. Only downside is; the app doesn’t work if your phone locks or you tab out. Which can be fixed by tweaking with auto-lock settings & acquiring some patience. Honestly, it doesn’t really matter to me. The value this app provides is way too important to get caught up on a minor inconvenience. Even if it never gets fixed, I’ll still use the app frequently. 50/5 stars, would recommend.

### 5/5 — LIFE SAVER!

*2026-05-09, version 1.9.15*

This app has literally saved my life thank you so much!

### 4/5 — works ok

*2026-04-02, version 1.9.16*

connects pretty good but lags sometimes on apps like youtube,constant freezing during streaming and playback even on 720hd.otherwise it works pretty good,sometimes you have to try twice or so to connect

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-03-28, version 1.9.15*

Works great with my MacBook

### 5/5 — Peak

*2026-03-19, version 1.9.16*

This is an amazing app, works great, and I now feel like I get what I pay for.

### 1/5 — Was once great, not it needs to be removed

*2026-03-15, version 1.9.15*

This was an excellent piece of software which let you machine host as a VPN server. It was an excellent way tp connect past your firewall into your home network from you phone, tablet or computer. I would have easily givem it 5 stars and highly recommended it. But It relied on something called a relay server to function which no longer seems to be functioning, so now it is just an useless bit of software to be deleted. The team has not responded to emails for well over the year it has not worked. So why is this still available for download?  This software should be taken off the App Store because it no loner functions.

### 5/5 — Needs feature

*2026-02-05, version 1.9.16*

multi devices? and a linux version?

### 5/5 — Woah

*2026-02-02, version 1.9.16*

No clue how this app works but it does! So so cool!

### 5/5 — Amazing app please make an update

*2026-01-21, version 1.9.16*

Much needed
