ONE PICKAP ACCOUNT Use the same account in the app, on the website and in Telegram after confirming the link. Paid access stays with your account. Replace or remove your short VPN key in account settings. EXTRA PROTECTION WITH ADBLOCK Enable the blocker extensions in your iPhone or iPad settings.

World by SOBE
Read full descriptionHide full description
World by SOBE is a private VPN in one tap: a secure, encrypted connection to our own servers in the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Israel and the USA, run by SOBE Oร, a company in Estonia (EU). โข One tap to connect. If your network blocks VPNs, World switches protocol by itself, and โNot connecting?โ finds what is wrong. โข No logs: we do not record the sites you visit, DNS queries or your IP address. No third-party analytics. We keep only your email or account number, your purchases and your devices. โข Sign in with Apple or with your email, or stay anonymous: a 16-digit account number instead of an email. โข Allowed list: banks and services from home that refuse foreign addresses open directly, everything else stays in the VPN. โข One account on up to 3 devices: iPhone, iPad and Mac. A remote and a complication on Apple Watch, the connection in the Dynamic Island, widgets and themes in your style. The app creates a protected VPN connection to servers operated by SOBE Oร (Sobe Invest). With an Apple or email account, choose a plan in the app: monthly, yearly with a 7-day free trial, or lifetime access for one payment; a new account can try World for an hour first. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage them in Settings โ your name โ Subscriptions. With an account number, buy 30 days or a year of access: you pay once and nothing renews. You can delete your account at any time in the app's Settings.
