Suphuzi VPN
Read full descriptionHide full description
Suphuzi VPN routes selected device traffic through a WireGuard tunnel to one of seven server locations. Review the in-app data-use disclosure, choose a location, approve the iOS VPN configuration and connect. FREE ALLOWANCE AND OPTIONAL REWARDED ADS The account receives 500 MB once during first setup. That balance does not expire or reset. You may choose to watch a rewarded video for another 100 MB, up to ten rewards per UTC day. The reward is added only after Google's server-verified confirmation reaches Suphuzi. OPTIONAL SUPHUZI PRO SUBSCRIPTION Choose a monthly or yearly Pro subscription through the App Store for unlimited VPN traffic, no rewarded ads, custom DNS and DNS threat protection. Both durations provide the same Pro features. Prices and renewal terms appear in the app before purchase. Restore Purchases is available for existing subscribers. The free allowance and optional rewarded videos remain available without a subscription; watching an ad is always your choice. NO SIGN-UP FORM No name, email address or password is requested. The app creates a random pseudonymous account identifier so it can retain the one-time allowance, daily reward count and account-deletion state. Reinstalling does not create a second starter grant. SEVEN SERVERS, SEVEN COUNTRIES Germany, Finland, France, the United States, Singapore, India and Brazil. All seven locations are available on both Free and Pro. PRIVACY BOUNDARIES, STATED PRECISELY Suphuzi does not record traffic contents, browsing history, visited destinations or DNS query history. An active WireGuard peer necessarily handles a public key, private in-tunnel IP, source endpoint IP/port, latest handshake time and byte counters in server memory. Disconnect removes the peer; an idle endpoint is scrubbed after about 180 seconds. These values are not written to an exit-server log. The Frankfurt control plane stores random account and device identifiers, an allowance ledger and short-lived lease records to authorize tunnels, enforce the one-time grant and daily reward limit, and support account deletion. The WireGuard private key is generated on the device and never leaves it. Optional rewarded ads are supplied by Google AdMob in the main app, never in the Packet Tunnel extension. Ad requests are limited and non-personalized. The app does not request App Tracking Transparency permission or IDFA. Google may still process the ad-request IP, IP-derived approximate location, basic app/device information, ad interaction and limited SDK crash/performance diagnostics. Full details and retention periods are in the privacy policy. WHAT A VPN CAN AND CANNOT DO The tunnel encrypts traffic between this device and the selected WireGuard edge, and websites see the edge IP rather than the connection IP. A VPN does not make you anonymous: signed-in accounts, cookies, browser fingerprints, GPS and device identifiers can still identify you. Suphuzi does not promise access to any particular streaming service. IN-APP TRANSPARENCY Connection Health can check latency, jitter, probe failure rate, exit-IP consistency and DNS leak signals. Trust Center explains what the tunnel protects, necessary runtime metadata and current limitations. Settings includes in-app account deletion and links to the full legal documents.
