V Plane
Read full descriptionHide full description
V Plane is your personal plane in a world of boundless internet. The app turns your phone into a lightweight and powerful aircraft that connects to your own Xray-core proxy infrastructure. It doesn't provide ready-made servers—it's a cockpit for your V2Ray/Xray configurations. What you get: Freedom of Flight Rise above any blockages and restrictions. Fly wherever you want—without borders or censorship. Travel Through the Clouds Even when the internet becomes unstable, V Plane maintains its course confidently. Videos play smoothly, websites load quickly, and downloads are uninterrupted. You continue flying even through connection turbulence. Full route control Set your own DNS servers, create complex routing rules, and direct traffic exactly as you need. Every flight—by your rules. Easy takeoff The interface is so intuitive that it only takes a couple of minutes from the first launch to a successful connection. No complicated setup required—just land and fly. Adding connections Two convenient methods are supported: • Quickly insert a pre-existing configuration • Manually create a connection from scratch Important to understand V Plane is not a VPN provider or a ready-made service with servers. It is a client application (shell) that allows you to conveniently and reliably work with your own configurations. To start flying, you will need your own server that supports these technologies.
Tropa Connect

Tropa is a client for a secure connection with an existing access key. Add a compatible configuration, choose a server, and connect. Important: Tropa does not sell subscriptions, issue keys, or provide its own server catalog. You need an active key from your service provider or administrator. The key determines the configuration, servers, and protocols available to you. Data protection during connection Tropa helps create a secure connection from an existing configuration and manage it without entering network parameters by hand. The level of protection depends on the protocol, key settings, selected server, and network conditions. Tropa features 1. Secure connection. Use an existing configuration to create a connection based on your key settings. 2. Key-based activation. Paste the key manually or open the link you received when this method is supported by your configuration. 3. Clear validation results. Tropa confirms successful activation and shows when a key is invalid, blocked, or no longer active. 4. Available server list. Choose the servers included in your key configuration. 5. Connection controls and status. Create or end the connection from the main screen and see its current state at a glance. 6. Key details. Review the configuration name, expiration date, and other information when supplied by your provider. 7. Key replacement. Add a new key when the current one expires or when you need another configuration. 8. Automatic startup. Let Tropa create the connection automatically according to your selected settings. 9. Ad-free interface. Essential controls stay visible without advertising interruptions. How to get started 1. Obtain an active compatible key from your provider or administrator. 2. Open Tropa and add the key using one of the available methods. 3. Wait for the activation confirmation. 4. Select a server from the list loaded for your key. 5. Allow the device to create a network connection the first time, then tap Connect. After activation, Tropa keeps the essential controls on the main screen. You can check the connection state, choose another available server, open the key details, or disconnect. If the key is no longer active, replace it with a new key issued by your provider. Who Tropa is for The app is intended for users who already received a compatible key and want a secure connection without configuring protocols manually. Tropa works on Wi-Fi and mobile networks and keeps the ready configuration in one focused interface. Server availability, expiration information, supported features, speed, and connection stability depend on your key, selected server, internet provider, and current network conditions. Tropa cannot renew or restore a third-party key without its provider. Use the app in accordance with the service rules and the laws applicable in your country.

Verdict
