Hammer Proxy is a fast, private proxy client that puts you in control. Bring your own servers and route your traffic through a secure, modern tunnel built on Xray — with no accounts, no sign-ups, and nothing collected about you. WHY HAMMER PROXY • Your servers, your rules — import a single key or a whole server list and connect in one tap. • Built on Xray for speed and resilience, with full-device tunneling. • Private by design — no tracking, no analytics, no activity logs. Your keys never leave your device. PROTOCOLS & SECURITY • VLESS, VMess, Trojan and Shadowsocks • Reality, XTLS / Vision and TLS • WebSocket, gRPC, HTTP/2, HTTPUpgrade, xHTTP, TCP, mKCP and QUIC transports POWERFUL, YET SIMPLE • One-tap connect with a clean, focused interface — or switch to Expert mode for full control. • Smart Ping finds your fastest server and checks which servers can open a given site. • Split routing — send chosen domains or IPs direct or through the proxy. • Server lists with traffic and expiry tracking, auto-update and multiple profiles. • Home-screen widget, Siri Shortcuts and quick actions. • Import and restore your settings and servers in seconds. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Hammer Proxy doesn't run its own servers and has no accounts. You provide the server; the app simply connects to it securely. Nothing about your browsing is collected or shared. Bring your own server and take back control of your connection.

Deseo is a VPN built on one idea: what you do online is nobody's business but yours. One tap encrypts everything leaving your iPhone and routes it through a server in the country you choose. Cafe Wi-Fi, hotel networks, airport lounges — the places most worth protecting are the ones you use without thinking. ACCOUNT-BASED ACCESS Sign in with a DESEO account before connecting. This keeps access, subscription status, and support tied to one identity. NO LOGS We do not record the sites you visit, your DNS lookups, or your address once a session ends. There is nothing in our systems linking a person to an activity, because we never create that link. Read the full policy at deseovpn.com/privacy — including what we have not had audited. KILL SWITCH If the tunnel drops, Deseo blocks all traffic instantly rather than quietly letting your real address through. Fails closed, not open. On by default. BUILT ON APPLE'S OWN VPN STACK Deseo uses IKEv2/IPsec with AES-256-GCM — the protocol iOS itself implements. It survives the handoff from Wi-Fi to cellular without dropping, which is exactly when a weaker VPN leaves you exposed on the walk out the door. LOCATIONS WORLDWIDE Switch country in a tap across 82 servers in 45 countries. Every location is measured live for latency, so the speed you see is the speed you get, not a marketing number. FIVE DEVICES One subscription covers your iPhone, iPad and the rest of the household. WHAT DESEO WILL NOT DO It will not make you anonymous if you sign in to an account that identifies you. It will not stop malware. It will not prevent a site from fingerprinting your browser. Any VPN claiming otherwise is selling you something. SUBSCRIPTION Deseo Plus is $11.99/month or $59.99/year. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and we remind you two days before it ends. Cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
