Different apps. Different locations. One VPN. Glim VPN lets you choose a location for each supported app, so your AI tools, work apps and entertainment can use different regions at the same time. Keep local services on a direct connection in Fast Mode, or switch to Safe Mode for broader VPN protection. YOUR APPS, YOUR LOCATIONS Add supported apps from the app library and manage them in My apps. Assign a location to each one without changing the connection for your entire device. Use the services you need side by side, with less manual switching. FAST MODE FOR EVERYDAY USE Separate local traffic from traffic that needs the VPN. Local services can stay direct while supported apps use their assigned routes. Traffic sent directly does not pass through the encrypted VPN tunnel. SAFE MODE FOR SHARED NETWORKS Using Wi-Fi at a cafe, hotel or airport? Switch to Safe Mode to route your device's internet traffic through an encrypted VPN connection. Choose your preferred location in the app. ON YOUR APPLE DEVICES Use Glim on iPhone, iPad and Mac with the same account. Available features and device limits depend on your platform and plan.

Glim VPN holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1.

Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Pipster Security's written reviews are positive against 0% of Glim VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pipster Security ships an update every 3 weeks, Glim VPN every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
