About

Mimicry VPN

Features
Read full description

Mimicry VPN is a client for a VPN server you run yourself. It is not a VPN subscription: there is no account to create, nothing to buy, and no server operated by us. You import a configuration for a server you control, and the app connects to it. WHAT IT DOES - Connects to your own Mimicry server over an encrypted tunnel. - Import a server configuration by QR code or from a file. No sign-up, no email, no password. - Keep several servers and switch between them. - Per-server settings, including which countries are routed outside the tunnel. - Optional kill switch that blocks traffic if the tunnel drops. - Reconnects on its own when you move between Wi-Fi and cellular. PRIVACY Mimicry VPN collects nothing. There are no accounts, no analytics and no third-party SDKs. Server addresses and keys are stored only on your device, in the keychain. We do not sell, use, or disclose any user data to third parties. Our full privacy policy is at https://tomp.com/mimicry/privacy.html Be aware that whoever operates the server you connect to can see connection metadata. If you run that server yourself, that operator is you. WHAT YOU NEED Your own Mimicry server. This app is a client, not a service - without a server configuration there is nothing to connect to. Mimicry VPN is a general-purpose networking tool and does not violate any laws in the territories where it is offered. You remain responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you.

About

FoldVPN

FoldVPN gives you a private connection in one tap. Open the app, press connect, and your traffic is encrypted and routed through the server you chose. There is nothing to configure and no settings you need to read about first. Most people use it on hotel and cafe wifi, or when they want to reach the internet as if they were sitting somewhere else. It works the same either way. The tunnel covers the whole device rather than just your browser, so everything you open goes out through the same connection. Underneath it runs VLESS with REALITY, a newer protocol that holds up on networks where older VPN connections stop working. Sign in with Apple, Google, or an email address. If you use email we send you a six digit code, so there is no password to invent and no password to forget. What you can do Connect and disconnect from a single button on the home screen. Let Fastest Location pick the quickest server, or choose the country yourself. Search the country list when you already know where you want to appear. See your upload and download totals, your current rate, and how long the session has been running. Turn on auto reconnect and let a dropped connection come back on its own. Check which devices are signed in to your account, and sign any of them out from your phone. Use the app in any of 33 languages. The home screen tells you what is actually happening. Connecting, connected, or failed, with a retry button instead of a spinner that never resolves. FoldVPN is a subscription and there are no ads anywhere in it. You can restore a previous purchase at any time, and you can delete your account from inside the app without emailing anyone to ask. If something breaks, the help section answers the questions that come up most. If yours is not there, write to support@foldvpn.com and a person will read it.
