FoldVPN

FoldVPN gives you a private connection in one tap. Open the app, press connect, and your traffic is encrypted and routed through the server you chose. There is nothing to configure and no settings you need to read about first. Most people use it on hotel and cafe wifi, or when they want to reach the internet as if they were sitting somewhere else. It works the same either way. The tunnel covers the whole device rather than just your browser, so everything you open goes out through the same connection. Underneath it runs VLESS with REALITY, a newer protocol that holds up on networks where older VPN connections stop working. Sign in with Apple, Google, or an email address. If you use email we send you a six digit code, so there is no password to invent and no password to forget. What you can do Connect and disconnect from a single button on the home screen. Let Fastest Location pick the quickest server, or choose the country yourself. Search the country list when you already know where you want to appear. See your upload and download totals, your current rate, and how long the session has been running. Turn on auto reconnect and let a dropped connection come back on its own. Check which devices are signed in to your account, and sign any of them out from your phone. Use the app in any of 33 languages. The home screen tells you what is actually happening. Connecting, connected, or failed, with a retry button instead of a spinner that never resolves. FoldVPN is a subscription and there are no ads anywhere in it. You can restore a previous purchase at any time, and you can delete your account from inside the app without emailing anyone to ask. If something breaks, the help section answers the questions that come up most. If yours is not there, write to support@foldvpn.com and a person will read it.
