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.

Phoenix is a fast, private VPN built on one idea: the less we know about you, the safer you are. There is no sign-up. No email, no phone number, no password. Open the app, tap connect, and your traffic is encrypted. WHY PHOENIX - No account, ever Most VPNs start by asking who you are. Phoenix doesn't. Your device is issued an anonymous key automatically - there is no profile to leak, sell, or hand over. - No activity logs We do not record the sites you visit, your traffic, or your DNS queries. Not stored, not sold, not shared. Read our privacy policy - it is short, because there is little to describe. - No ads, no trackers Phoenix contains no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs. Nothing in the app is watching you. - Verified connection Many VPNs show "connected" the moment a handshake completes - even when nothing is actually flowing. Phoenix checks that real data is moving and tells you when it is genuinely working. - Automatic server switching If a server slows down or stops carrying traffic, Phoenix moves you to a healthy one without you having to do anything. SUBSCRIPTIONS Phoenix has no ads and no account. A subscription gives you a larger data allowance and more device slots: - Individual - for one person - Family - for the whole household Subscriptions are available monthly, every 3 months, or every 6 months. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. HOW IT WORKS Phoenix encrypts your device's internet traffic and routes it through servers we operate, so the network you're on - public Wi-Fi, a hotel, a cafe, a mobile carrier - cannot read it or interfere with it. Modern encryption, sensible defaults, nothing to configure. WHAT PHOENIX IS NOT We'd rather be honest than oversell. A VPN protects traffic in transit. It does not make you anonymous to services you log into, and it does not protect a device that already has malware on it. Anyone claiming otherwise is selling you something.
