### 1/5 — Connect on demand and MFA

*2025-01-06, version 1.0.15*

Falta la opción nativa de conectar por petición. Cuando tienes MFA activo no se conecta automáticamente, por lo que cada vez hay que estar escribiendo el código. Esto no es práctico.

### 1/5 — Not working with new DS223j

*2024-03-18, version 1.0.15*

Can’t find any way to make it work, currently using OpenVPN instead.

### 5/5 — 맥북 애플티비

*2024-03-09, version 1.0.15*

맥북 애플티비 앱도 만들어주세요

### 5/5 — Easy to use with the right hardware.

*2024-01-29, version 1.0.15*

Works very well and easy to setup. You must use a Synology Router with Synology SSL VPN configured.

### 5/5 — 關於VPN功能？

*2023-06-12, version 1.0.15*

請問還可以使用嗎？

### 3/5 — Battery hog

*2022-09-26*

It’s a great app. Works amazingly. I run a PiHole instance on my Synology Server, and this allows me to VPN into my network from anywhere and route my traffic through that to eliminate ads no matter where I am in the world. The only downside is that it obliterates my battery life whether I’m using the VPN or not. Something I noticed immediately after installing it since I was no longer making it through entire days on a single charge.

I recently bought a higher storage size of the iPhone 13 Mini and decided to pit it against the one I was trading in. So I uninstalled VPN Plus on my old 128gb iPhone 13 Mini with iOS 16(96% battery health), and installed VPN Plus on my new 512GB iPhone 13 Mini with iOS 16. I then left them sitting on my counter all day playing a playlist loop since it was a weekend and I had the time. At the end of the day the old Mini had 39% battery with Apple Music being the biggest battery drain. The new iPhone Mini was at 8%, and VPN Plus was at the top of the battery usage list with 35% despite the VPN being switched off the entire time.

I’m not sure what it is about this app that just absolutely crushes battery life like this, but its a significant enough level that you will want to weigh the pros of having this VPN capability vs what it will mean for your battery life. For me I just uninstall it unless I’m going on a work trip as I carry external batteries with me on those anyways.

### 4/5 — It does the job

*2021-07-17*

It would be nice if there were an option to “remember me” with two factor authentication.

### 4/5 — Good

*2021-05-26, version 1.0.14*

Please, Siri Shortcuts!!

### 2/5 — 線路變換時不會重連

*2021-05-13, version 1.0.14*

更新了最新版本反而在網路切換時不會自動連線，跳至APP會顯示「你沒有權限使用本項服務」？按掉之後重連才行，屢試不爽，這樣使用很不方便，，在更新前怎麼樣都能自動連上。麻煩找出問題來🥲

### 1/5 — Darrerament no funciona

*2021-01-19, version 1.0.13*

Hola, 
L'ha feta servir molt perquè anava bé.  Porta unes setmanes que no connecta.  No tinc cap problema de configuració, puc connectar des del macbook, i tampoc he canviat res.
