VPN Dan protects your internet connection with one tap. Built on a WireGuard-based protocol, it delivers fast, private, and secure browsing without complexity. SIMPLE & FAST Connect in one tap. No settings to configure and no protocols to choose. Just tap the power button and you're protected with a protocol designed for speed and security. 10 GB FREE EVERY MONTH Every account starts on the Go plan with one free server location and 10 GB of VPN data per month — plenty for everyday private browsing. Your active plan, usage, remaining data, and reset date are always visible, so there are no surprises. The allowance refreshes automatically at the start of each month. PLUS AND PRO WHEN YOU NEED MORE DATA Need more locations or data? Upgrade in the app and keep everything you already have. Plus unlocks every server location and raises your allowance to 100 GB per month. Pro also unlocks every location and removes the monthly cap entirely. Split tunneling and the Ad & Tracker Shield remain available on every plan. AD & TRACKER SHIELD (BETA) Turn on optional DNS filtering to block known ad and tracker domains. VPN Dan shows the aggregate number of requests blocked this month without retaining requested domain names, DNS query contents, or query timestamps. REAL PRIVACY Your browsing activity is never logged. VPN Dan uses modern encryption built into the WireGuard-based protocol to help keep your data private from ISPs, hackers, and anyone watching your network. GLOBAL SERVER NETWORK Browse servers across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Every location stays visible: Go can use the current free location, while Plus and Pro can switch between them all. VPN Dan ranks eligible servers by measured latency and remembers a server you choose yourself. SPLIT TUNNELING Choose which traffic bypasses the VPN. Exclude specific domains or IP ranges, keep local network services reachable, or route selected countries directly while everything else stays protected. PASSWORDLESS LOGIN No passwords to remember. Sign in with your email and a one-time verification code.
