Sword VPN Secure doesn't waste your time or its own. Open the app. Hit connect. Your connection is private. There's no step two. No account. No quiz about what you plan to use it for. No screen asking you to invite friends before you've even tried it. It stays connected when other apps would have given up — signal dips, network switches, phone sitting idle in your pocket for an hour. You pull it out, everything's still where you left it. Does one job. Does it well. Doesn't talk about it. Subscription Auto-renewable, charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Renews unless canceled 24h before the period ends.
