VpnHood! CLIENT

Features
Read full description

NOTE: This app REQUIRES A SERVER KEY. VpnHood! CLIENT is a fast, secure, and reliable VPN solution powered by the VpnHood! ENGINE, which is open-source and the first VPN developed fully with the .NET platform. It is a client application that establishes encrypted, secure tunnels to a VPN server using the VpnHood protocol to VpnHood servers. The VpnHood protocol has no fingerprint and cannot be detected by censorship filtering. To use this app, a ServerKey is required. You can acquire one through the following methods: ▶ Get server keys from friends or communities that distribute them. ▶ Purchase server keys for yourself or your friends from third-party sellers. ▶ Set up your own VpnHood server on a hosting service and create server keys yourself. Key Features: • Free with No Ads: VpnHood! is open-source, completely free, and contains no ads. • Easy to Use: You can connect to VpnHood! with a simple tap of the connect button. • Fast and Secure (The speed may vary depending on the server provider and your Internet connection.) • Open Source: Built on the open-source VpnHood engine (on GitHub), VpnHood! is transparent and trustworthy. • First VPN in .NET: VpnHood! is the first VPN app in the world to be developed with the .NET platform—showcasing innovation and technical excellence. • IPv4 & IPv6 Support: Ensures maximum compatibility and performance. Customizable Options: • Cloak Mode: Disguises your VPN traffic as regular web traffic, making it resistant to deep packet inspection so the connection stays reliable on restricted networks. • Split Tunneling for Country: Keep traffic to your own country outside the tunnel, so local services that reject foreign IPs keep working and local connections stay fast. • Split Tunneling for Domains: Choose which website addresses travel through the VPN tunnel and which stay outside it. • Split Tunneling for IP Addresses: Include or exclude specific host IP addresses from VPN traffic. • Split Tunneling for Local Network: Exclude your local network to maintain access to local resources while using VpnHood!. • Custom DNS: Change the default DNS server by specifying your own. • TCP, UDP & QUIC: Choose the transport protocol that performs best on your network. • Proxy Support: Route your connection through SOCKS or HTTP proxies, entered manually or taken from your device settings. Why Choose VpnHood!? ▶ Undetectable: The VpnHood! protocol is designed to bypass censorship filters. It is a secure protocol without any fingerprint. Its traffic patterns look exactly like regular HTTPS websites, making it virtually indistinguishable. ▶ Constantly Evolving: VpnHood! is committed to continuous improvement and innovation, ensuring you enjoy unrestricted and censorship-free internet access. Try VpnHood! today and experience the true freedom of the web! Your Privacy: VpnHood! CLIENT does not require an account and never asks for personal information. We do not log your browsing activity, the websites you visit, or the content of your traffic. The app can send anonymous usage and diagnostic data - such as app version, language, connection results and error messages - so we can find and fix problems. It is identified only by a random id that is not linked to you, and you can turn it off at any time in Settings > Privacy. We never sell your data or share it with third parties for their own purposes. Privacy Policy: https://www.vpnhood.com/privacy-policy We’re Here for You Around the Clock!
