Privacy VPN protects your connection with one tap, even on networks where other VPNs are blocked. No sign-up, no email, no activity logs. A smart connection picks the protocol that gets through: VLESS first, OpenVPN when needed, switching by itself. Servers worldwide, unlimited data and a built-in ad and tracker blocker. WHAT YOU GET • Servers worldwide: choose the country you connect through • Unlimited data: no data caps and no speed caps • No activity logs: we don't keep a record of the sites you visit or what you do online • Smart connection: VLESS and OpenVPN; it switches by itself when a network blocks VPNs • Ad and tracker blocker: cleaner, faster pages • Private browser: a built-in browser that saves nothing • No account: no sign-up, no email, no password • Auto-reconnect: if the connection drops, Privacy VPN reconnects by itself • Kill switch: turn it on in Settings to block internet traffic if the VPN connection drops, until it reconnects • Hides your IP address and encrypts your traffic on public Wi-Fi in hotels, cafés and airports PRIVACY AND SECURITY ON EVERY NETWORK On public Wi-Fi in hotels, cafés and airports, Privacy VPN hides your IP address and encrypts your traffic, so your browsing stays private. The private browser saves no history, and the ad and tracker blocker keeps pages clean and fast. A SECURE PROXY THAT KEEPS YOU CONNECTED Tap once and the smart connection does the rest. If a network blocks VPNs, Privacy VPN switches between VLESS and OpenVPN by itself, and if the connection drops, it reconnects automatically. Unlimited data, servers worldwide and no account to create.
