### 5/5 — Excellent WireGuard Client

*2026-08-21, version 3.9.6*

Is under active development and has more features than the free WireGuard official client, which is three years old as of mid-2026. What's not to like about a product that works and is maintained by its creator?!

### 5/5 — Dark Mode icon

*2026-08-03, version 3.9.3*

Hi, Please add dark mode icon for mac os.

### 5/5 — Great VPN app

*2026-07-14*

Using this in combination with Unifi routers to connect to my home network quickly.

### 3/5 — Troubles with DNS and WireGuard

*2026-06-26, version 3.8.11*

I’ve been trying to use NextDNS over HTTPS with a ProtonVPN WireGuard config with DNS routed through the VPN tunnel. It doesn’t seem to work correctly with this combination. It successfully connects and shows up/down traffic in the Passepartout app, but nothing on the device can use the network.

### 1/5 — Скачал для AppleTV

*2026-05-25*

Скачал для ТВ на работает . Бессовестно за такое гэ брать деньги

### 1/5 — Не тянет конфиг WG

*2026-05-12*

WG конфигурацию не может прочитать. После персборки файла .conf руками - завелся, но туннель не поднял. Для работы на эпл ТВ требует подписки за 2900 о чем не сказано при покупке этого кала в appstore

**Developer response:** It is clearly stated in the “REQUIRES AN IN-APP PURCHASE” list and in the TV store description. Thanks, Davide

### 4/5 — Please add Shortcut support for server address editing

*2026-04-07, version 3.6.12*

Great app. Please add Shortcut support for editing the server address in a profile.

My home VPN server IP can change, and DDNS is not always reliable because updates can take time to show up. I can get the new IP on iOS right away, but changing it manually in the app takes too many taps.

This would make reconnecting much easier.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-28*

I’m a big fan of this app. You should know that many of the basic Wireguard features are behind a paywall in the app when others offer those for free as it’s part of the spec.

Other than that I see two minor issues.

1. app is present on the share sheet favorites list with no way to remove

2. Report an issue in-app doesn’t work. Says device is not configured to send e-mails.

Overall, the app is well-made. It’s a bit too pricey to lock standard features behind a paywall of $25, but I don’t know what else to say about that.

Edit: this dude gets a 5 star review from a relatively happy customer and then proceeds to lie 🤣

On-demand activation for WireGuard is behind the paywall. That is free in the official app. Routing is behind a paywall. That is free in the official app. Just two examples.

**Developer response:** Hi. What are the “many of the basic WireGuard features” locked behind the paywall? Because none is, really. Thanks for your review. Davide

FYI: Neither of those features are from the “WireGuard spec”, they come from the WireGuard Apple app, it’s totally different. In fact, WireGuard on Android doesn’t have on-demand. Words matter a lot in tech, and mine was a genuine question to know if something was off.

### 5/5 — Great app

### 4/5 — Overall a great app

*2026-03-15*

Overall this app does exactly what I need; a vpn with custom DNS which I use on my Apple TV and other devices. 

The only issue I have is the Apple TV app sometimes ‘forgets’ I have paid for premium and falsely says it is still connected to the VPN. 

I have raised this with support on Reddit and feel the concerns were not taken seriously enough although it was acknowledged as a known error. 

Fixing this issue will make it a 5 star review.

**Developer response:** Sorry, unfortunately it’s hard to troubleshoot without a log. Is that also on iOS? And is it only happening with WireGuard profiles? Thanks, Davide.
