Hideon hides your IP address and encrypts your connection in one tap. Use it on café, airport and hotel Wi-Fi, when you travel, and on networks that get in your way. WHY HIDEON • One tap to connect. Hideon picks the fastest server for you by real ping. • Your IP stays hidden: sites see the server's location, not yours. • Public Wi-Fi made safe: your traffic is encrypted, so whoever runs the network can't read it. • No sign-up. No account, no email, nothing to remember. • Clear answers when something goes wrong: a network that blocks VPN, a hotel Wi-Fi login page, another VPN in the way. Hideon tells you what happened and what to do. A MODE FOR EVERY NETWORK • Auto: picks what works on your network and remembers it. • Stealth: looks like a regular website to the network. For Wi-Fi at work, school or hotels that blocks VPN. • Turbo: fastest on weak and mobile networks. • Standard: IKEv2, built into iPhone and easy on the battery. • Double VPN: your traffic goes through two servers in a row. The first one sees you, the second one sees the sites. • Ghost: to the network your traffic looks like random noise. For when other modes get blocked. LOCATIONS Servers in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, Singapore and Australia, with live ping on each one. Star your favorites and switch between them right from the main screen. At the top of the server screen, two quick picks: Free and Fastest. PROTECTION THAT RUNS ITSELF • Auto-protect turns Hideon on by itself when you join Wi-Fi or mobile data. • Widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, a Control Center button and Siri: just say "Protect me with Hideon". • Live timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Dashboard with your protection level, streak, weekly stats and an IP check. PRIVACY IN PLAIN WORDS We never log the sites you visit and we don't sell your data. To run and improve the app we collect app usage and purchase info; the full list is in our Privacy Policy. FREE AND PREMIUM Hideon is free to use in Standard mode on free servers. Hideon Premium unlocks every location, Auto, Stealth, Turbo, Ghost, Double VPN and Auto-protect.
