Gecolux VPN — Fast, Private & Secure Your connection is your business. Gecolux VPN keeps it that way. Built on WireGuard®, the most advanced open-source VPN protocol available today, Gecolux VPN delivers blazing-fast speeds without compromising on security. Whether you're browsing on public Wi-Fi, working remotely, or simply protecting your daily traffic from prying eyes, Gecolux VPN gives you a private, encrypted tunnel — with one tap. Why WireGuard? WireGuard is leaner, faster, and more transparent than legacy protocols like OpenVPN or IPSec. Its streamlined codebase means fewer attack surfaces, lower latency, and longer battery life on your device. Gecolux VPN is built entirely around it, so you always get the best connection with the least overhead. Connect in seconds Open the app, pick a server, tap to connect. That's it. Gecolux VPN handles all the cryptographic handshaking in the background — you just browse. When you're done, one tap disconnects you cleanly. Multi-country server network Choose from servers across multiple countries, each displayed with its real-time availability status. If a server is undergoing maintenance, the app tells you instantly and lets you pick an alternative without interruption. Switching servers mid-session is seamless: Gecolux VPN disconnects the old tunnel and reconnects to the new one automatically. Your account, your control Gecolux VPN uses account-based authentication, so your subscription travels with you across devices. Log in, and your server list, connection preferences, and subscription status are always in sync. You can also manage your account directly from the app — including full account deletion if you ever choose to leave, no questions asked. Flexible subscription plans Choose the plan that fits your lifestyle: - 1 Month — perfect for occasional use or trying the service - 3 Months — great for regular users who want flexibility - 6 Months — the sweet spot between value and commitment - 12 Months — maximum savings for power users All plans are managed through Apple's secure in-app purchase system. Restoring a previous purchase is always just one tap away. Privacy by design Gecolux VPN is built with a clear principle: your traffic is yours. The app does not log your browsing activity, does not sell your data, and does not share your usage with third parties. You can review our full Privacy Policy and EULA directly from within the app at any time. Built for iOS Gecolux VPN is a native iOS application, designed to feel at home on your iPhone and iPad. The interface is clean, fast, and intuitive — no clutter, no dark patterns, no unnecessary permissions. Select your language (English or Italian), connect, and get on with your day.

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.
