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.

(DHCPv6 not supported) • More than TCP Support NAT traversal (NAT-T) and UDP acceleration just like the official SoftEther client. • Easy Import and Export Not only from SSTP Connect, reading connection settings from SoftEther Client Manager is also a piece of cake. • Routing Accept static routes pushed from the server or add your own entries.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SSTP Connect at 4.8 against V2Box Pro's 3.7. SSTP Connect also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 62%) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 71). V2Box Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and chart position (#16 vs #111). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
