About

Proxy VPN

Features
Read full description

Proxy VPN is a companion app for Proxy Panel. Import a private HTTPS key that represents one secure server, then manage that connection from your iPhone or iPad. You can add several keys and switch between them. A compatible Proxy Panel key is required. Proxy VPN does not include a built-in server catalog or sell server access in the app. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create Proxy Panel on a server you control, or receive a key from a trusted administrator. 2. Copy the panel's private HTTPS key. 3. Import the key into Proxy VPN. 4. Review the server details and tap Connect. DESIGNED FOR CONTROL • One key represents one server; add several keys and choose the main one. • See connection status and active server details at a glance. • Keep imported keys and connection preferences under your control. • Remove a key from the app whenever you choose. • Use a clear interface designed for both iPhone and iPad. PRIVACY AND RESPONSIBILITY Proxy VPN does not require an in-app account. Imported keys and configuration are stored on your device and remain under your control. The app contacts the HTTPS key URL you provide to retrieve configuration and connects to the server defined by that key. The operator of your panel, key endpoint, or server may have separate data practices, so use only infrastructure you trust and review its privacy terms. Proxy VPN is a technical client. Server availability, performance, and data handling depend on the panel and server operator. You are responsible for your server, access key, service costs, and lawful use.
