Land anywhere. Stay connected. RedVPN puts what a traveler's phone needs in one app: a VPN for airport, hotel and café Wi-Fi, Protect Mode against malware and phishing, travel eSIM data in 170+ countries, and a real US phone number. SECURITY VPN IN ONE TAP Tap the dial and everything your iPhone sends goes through an encrypted tunnel to RedVPN's servers, instead of straight onto the shared Wi-Fi at the gate or in your hotel. Nothing to set up, and no account needed to start. PROTECT MODE While RedVPN is on, Protect Mode checks where your phone connects against RedVPN's threat list and stops known malware, phishing and hijacked hosts before they load. Every block shows the host and the reason, and one tap allows anything you trust. BLOCK PROFILES Switch on the lists you want blocked: ads and trackers, adult content, social media, gambling, whole countries and regions, or cloud providers. Add your own sites to always block or always allow. DATA TRAVEL eSIM IN 170+ COUNTRIES Search your destination, pick a local, regional or global plan, and install the eSIM before you fly, so you have data the moment you land and never need the airport Wi-Fi. Your main SIM stays on for calls. A REAL US PHONE NUMBER Add a US mobile number as a second line on its own eSIM, alongside your own number. It is a line from a mobile network, not an internet calling app, and it shows in Settings › Cellular once installed. ONE ACCOUNT Start without signing up. Sign in with your email when you want the same plan on your other devices; RedVPN also runs on iPad, Mac, Windows and Linux. YOUR DATA, PLAINLY The VPN asks for no name and no email. To check a destination, Protect Mode sends your device ID and the address being checked to RedVPN; they are used for that check. RedVPN keeps no browsing history. eSIM and number orders need what the payment and the mobile network require.
