Fast, private, unlimited. One tap and your connection is encrypted and your real IP address is hidden from the networks you use. VPN Guard routes your traffic through our own dedicated servers on four continents. Not resold cloud boxes, not a shared proxy pool. Nobody sees what you do online: not the hackers on public Wi-Fi, not your network, not us. WHY THIS VPN • WireGuard, OpenVPN (UDP/TCP) and IKEv2 — pick any, or let the app choose • AES-256 encryption on every connection • Strict no-logs policy — no traffic, no IP, no browsing history, ever • Unlimited bandwidth and no throttling • One-tap connect, and a kill switch that holds if the tunnel drops • Smart Auto picks the fastest nearby server for you • No account needed — install, subscribe and connect • One subscription covers all your devices NO ADS, EVER No rewarded videos, no interstitials, and no advertising SDK of any kind. We are paid by subscribers, which is why you are the customer rather than the product. GLOBAL SERVER NETWORK Our own dedicated servers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Singapore, France, Germany and Poland. Connect to the one nearest you for the lowest latency, on Wi-Fi, 4G and 5G. BUILT FOR PRIVACY We cannot sell what we never store. No timestamps, no IP logs, no browsing history — enforced at the server level, not just promised in a policy. SUBSCRIPTION Connecting requires an auto-renewable subscription: • Unlimited VPN, Weekly — $1.99 per week • Unlimited VPN, Yearly — $24.99 per year Both plans are the same full service: every server location, top speed and unlimited time. The renewal price is the same price you started on, never a teaser that triples in year two. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. • Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. • Manage or cancel anytime in your device Account Settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NetWise at none against VPN Guard's 3. NetWise also leads on ads (none vs shown). VPN Guard's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
