About

PulseStar

Read full description

PulseStar is a free VPN client for employees of organizations using managed server infrastructure. A profile from your organization’s administrator is required to connect. Organizations separately pay for infrastructure deployment, configuration and maintenance services; employees do not buy subscriptions, access codes or individual app licenses. QR codes, codes and files provide connection configuration and authorization, not purchases of app features. Features: • Add access using a QR code, code or file. • Select an available server. • Automatic transport selection: TCP, then QUIC and UDP when needed. • Manual TCP, QUIC or UDP selection. • View connection status. • Access permitted local services directly using administrator-defined routing rules, while other traffic continues through the VPN. • Optional technical diagnostics to help investigate connection failures. The app is free to download and use. Available servers, access duration and limits depend on your profile and your organization’s infrastructure configuration. You can turn diagnostic reporting off in Settings. See the privacy policy for details about data processing.
