Private internet. One tap. Boltward is a fast, private VPN built like a precision instrument: open the app, tap once, and your connection is protected — on public Wi-Fi, at work, or on the move. Connections come up in about a second and stay up as you move between Wi-Fi and mobile data. When a network drops, Boltward recovers on its own. No settings to study, no setup to fight. WHY BOLTWARD • One-tap connect — open, tap, protected • No logs — we never record what you do, where you go, or what you send • Stays connected — survives Wi-Fi hand-offs, dead zones, and network changes • Smart Connect — picks the right location for you automatically, and shows you why • Split tunneling — choose which apps go through the VPN • Modern protocol — a lean, fast tunnel with strong, modern cryptography • Ten devices — one Premium account covers your phone, laptop, and tablet, with room for the whole household LOCATIONS ACROSS THE WORLD Choose a city across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia — or let Smart Connect choose for you. Your IP address stays hidden behind the VPN server's. SECURE PUBLIC WI-FI Cafés, airports, hotels, co-working spaces: shared networks expose your traffic to extra risk. Boltward encrypts your connection through a secure tunnel, so hotspots stay safe to use. PLANS • Free — 1 device, essential protection, ad-supported sessions on mobile, and a 3-day trial on desktop. Same no-logs policy as Premium. • Premium — 10 devices, no ads, 24-hour sessions, every location. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Boltward's no-logs policy is architectural: browsing activity, DNS queries, and visited sites are never stored. Private means private. Boltward runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Sign in once per device and forget about it. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
