SkyRay is the app for your EthaVPN subscription links. Open your link once and the app does the rest. ONE TAP Tap Connect. SkyRay measures every server in your subscription and connects to the fastest one. Your server changes only when you connect or pick one yourself; the app never switches you while you are online. BUILT FOR SLOW AND UNSTABLE NETWORKS SkyRay uses the Xray core with modern transports that work where ordinary VPN protocols are blocked or throttled. If a server stops answering, the app moves to the next one so you are not left offline. CLEAR ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT The Home screen shows the days left on your subscription and the data you have used, refreshed automatically. Pick a server from a list sorted fastest first, each with its live ping, or leave it on Auto. SIMPLE BY DESIGN No sign-up, no password, no ads. Your subscription link is your account. Add it by tapping it in Telegram, pasting it, or scanning a QR code. PRIVATE SkyRay collects no personal data and has no analytics. The app stores your subscription link and your server choice on your phone and nowhere else. Traffic is encrypted between your phone and the EthaVPN server. ABOUT SUBSCRIPTIONS Nothing is sold inside the app. A subscription comes from the EthaVPN service; the app only connects with it. Without a subscription link, the app cannot connect. SkyRay works on iPhone and iPad and is available in English, Persian and Russian.
