What's New in rVPN

Server identity pinning Your device now pins the server's cryptographic identity on the first successful connection, in the canonical `ik:1:` format, and refuses to connect if that identity ever changes without a signed key rotation from the operator. Protects you from a man-in-the-middle after first use. Dark mode Light / Dark / Follow System toggle under Settings › Appearance. A brand-aligned dark palette on an Ink Navy canvas — not a generic system default. Every screen respects the choice. Memory + reconnect stability Fixed the Network Extension memory pressure that was causing iOS to jetsam-kill the tunnel mid-session and silently drop your VPN under sustained streaming or heavy background load. Short network drops (elevators, transit, WiFi to cellular handovers) no longer flash the Connect button to "Reconnecting" and back either. Your assigned IP now survives the reconnect gap instead of blanking. Sessions routinely stay up for over an hour across multiple network handovers now. Fresh install polish Importing a `.rvpn` profile via AirDrop now auto-selects it as your active profile. If the profile is missing an identity key or a prekey bundle, you'll see a clear warning before Connect runs — no more silent "Connecting…" cycles that go nowhere. Under the hood - Import + Generate Identity + Connect now works on the very first tap after a fresh AirDrop, not the third. - The tunnel's active configuration is now written correctly to the app group on multi-profile installs — the "Failed to save configuration" ghost error is gone. - Trust on First Use, server fingerprint display, and the mismatch dialog match the desktop and iOS experience.
