You need to specify the server you are connecting to. • Native Only iOS native libraries are used in the core function, including the TLS stack. No OpenSSL. Connections are saved natively so that you can start a connection from the system settings. • Simple VPN clients ought to be small and simple. No ads, analytics or other 3rd-party SDK are included. • Privacy No data is collected from you. Connection log only exists in the memory and is never saved to the device. • Complete Support all password and certificate-based authentications available in Windows 11. Support authenticating by password and certificate at the same time with TEAP (EAP chaining). Protocol details below. • Security Passwords and certificates are stored in the iOS keychain.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: AnyBridge at Free against SSTP Connect's $2.99. AnyBridge also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). SSTP Connect's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 7) and chart position (#91 vs unranked). On rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
