Ghost Network lets you securely connect all your devices through an encrypted private network — no matter where they are in the world. Add new devices instantly using a QR Code or a programmable Hellbind Key. Ghost Network features Ghost VPN, allowing you to launch private VPN sessions on demand, anywhere around the world.* Every session is backed by a private cloud VM created exclusively for you — no shared IPs, no logs, no leaks. When the session ends, the server is permanently destroyed. But Ghost Network goes beyond VPN. It lets you create Phantom Hubs — encrypted groups of devices that can see and talk to each other, while remaining invisible to outsiders. Add devices via QR Code or Helbind Key. To connect a new device via QRCode scan, simply open the app on that device and tap “Join Someone’s Ghost Network.” A QR Code will be shown — just scan it from the original device, or type in the 12-digit code. That’s it. Use Phantom Hubs for secure internal mesh networks Zero logs. Zero trackers. Zero shared servers. No email. No sign-up. No tracking. Just programmable, encrypted private access — on your terms. * Ghost VPN is a paid service, as each session runs in a dedicated cloud VM provisioned exclusively for you.

Verdict

The call

On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
