Good backup VPN I guess. ### 3/5 — Iraqi *2026-08-03* Subject: Feature Request: Addition of Iraqi Servers to Improve Performance and Accessibility Dear Support and Development Team, I hope this message finds you well. First of all, I want to thank you for creating such a fantastic application. I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication your team puts into delivering a smooth and reliable user experience. I am writing to kindly request the addition of Iraqi servers to your app. Implementing servers located in Iraq would provide significant value to your user base in the region for several key reasons: * Drastically Reduced Latency: Local servers will provide a much faster connection, significantly lowering ping and eliminating lag for users in Iraq. * Improved Connection Stability: Routing traffic locally minimizes the risk of international routing bottlenecks and connection drops, ensuring a seamless experience. * Growing User Base: Iraq has a rapidly expanding digital and mobile market with an enthusiastic audience eager for high-performance applications like yours. Adding local support opens up immense potential for user acquisition and retention. * Competitive Edge: Providing direct local server support will set your app apart from competitors who have yet to tap into or optimize for this growing market. I believe that integrating Iraqi servers would be a strategic upgrade that benefits both your users and the platform's growth. Thank you very much for your time, consideration, and continuous efforts to improve the application. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this. Best regards, **Developer response:** 👋Hi hseen23, we sincerely apologize for the frustration. To help explain: in our latest update, the Turkish servers are dynamic and fully visible to users located in the US region. Based on your review location, you should be able to see them. If you are currently traveling outside the US, using a specific network, or still can't see them, it might be a region-detection issue. Please contact us directly at im2bytes@gmail.com with your device details so we can investigate and fix this for you right away! ### 4/5 — Best vpn so far online *2026-07-28, version 3.1.9* None of even the paid vpns can compare to this free Shadow X vpn.

I genuinely hope the developers consider keeping it free forever—or at least offer a generous free tier—because this app is a game‑changer for so many users who rely on it daily.
