Private, everywhere you go. VortexVPN builds an encrypted tunnel from your iPhone in one tap. Your network stops seeing where you go, and the sites you reach see our address instead of yours. Your encryption keys are generated on your iPhone and are never sent to us. The tunnel is built from a key we never receive, so there is nothing on our side to hand over. ONE PLAN. EVERY FEATURE. No Basic, no Plus, no add-on that unlocks the thing you actually wanted. Everything below is in the one price, on every device you own. • Unlimited devices. Phone, laptop, tablet, the one in the drawer. There is no device count and no seat maths. • No bandwidth caps and no throttling. • Kill switch. Blocks all traffic if the tunnel drops, until it reconnects. • Auto-connect. Rebuilds the tunnel whenever your iPhone finds a network, so protection is not something you have to remember. • Local network access stays available while you are connected. • Real latency in milliseconds beside every location, so you pick the fastest one instead of guessing. • Servers on six continents. • Bring your own servers. If you already run one, add it and route through it. • Built natively for iPhone. Light, quick, and quiet about it. WHERE IT EARNS ITS KEEP Cafe, hotel and airport Wi-Fi. On a network you do not control, everything you send leaves as one encrypted stream. Whoever else is sitting on that network gets traffic they cannot read. Travelling. Pick the country you left and the internet behaves as though you never did. Everyday browsing. The record of everywhere you went stops being written by the network you are on. Working away from the office. Reach what you need over a connection you did not have to trust. NO TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Open the app and tap once. There is no configuration, no profile to install by hand, and no manual to read. If you want the detail, it is there: choose a country, watch the latency, switch the kill switch on. If you do not, the defaults are already the safe ones. WHAT WE SELL Subscriptions. Not you. There is no ad network in this app, and we do not sell your account or your activity to anyone. VortexVPN is a paid subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.
