About

WireRoute

Features
Read full description

WireRoute is a focused WireGuard client for iPhone that makes everyday routing choices clear. Use your existing WireGuard configuration, import a profile from a file or QR code, or create one from scratch. Each profile can switch between Split Tunnel and Full Tunnel routing without maintaining duplicate configurations. Highlights: - Standard WireGuard protocol - Split Tunnel for selected networks - Full Tunnel for all supported traffic - Unsupported address-family blocking in Full Tunnel mode - Profile import from a file, archive, or QR code - On-demand activation options - Configuration export and diagnostic logs WireRoute does not provide a VPN subscription or server. You need access to a compatible WireGuard endpoint and a valid configuration.

About

VILAR VPN

Read full description

A VPN with nothing to set up: tap one button, and VILAR picks a server and adapts to your network by itself. No sign-up, no traffic log. Your first 24 hours are free. One button • "Turn VILAR on", and that's it. No protocols, no configuration. • Moved from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or joined a café network? VILAR adapts without you. While it does, Home shows "The path is changing". • If the connection drops altogether, a "Reconnect" button appears in the same place. A country, if you want one • "Auto" picks the server for you. • Want a specific country? Choose it on the "Servers" tab. • Your iPhone checks each server on your current network, so the status holds for you. Exceptions, already set • Some sites and services work better without a VPN: they go over your own network, just as without a VPN. There is nothing to switch. • If an app still asks you to turn off the VPN: "Help" → "An app asks you to turn off the VPN" → "Pause for 15 minutes". VILAR turns off for 15 minutes and comes back on by itself. Answers right away • "Help" has common questions in plain words and a chat: pick a topic, and the answer appears at once. • Still stuck? "Contact support" opens Telegram, and the app copies your topic and device number for you. No Telegram? An email opens instead. No sign-up, no traffic log • No sign-up needed: no email, no phone number, no password. • VILAR keeps a random identifier for this device and the state of your subscription, to connect you and show how long your access runs. If you allow notifications, it also keeps the token that delivers them. • An App Store purchase is recorded to open your access. • No traffic log: the sites you visit, DNS queries and the contents of your connections are not stored. • No ads, no analytics, no trackers. Your data is never sold or shared with third parties. • A diagnostics report leaves the phone only if you send it yourself. • "Sign in with Apple" is optional and only moves your access to a new iPhone. If you use it, the account keeps the email address Apple shares. 24 hours free • The clock starts when you tap "Start for free", not when you install the app. No card needed. No auto-renewal • After that, access is bought in the App Store for 1, 3 or 6 months: you pay once for a fixed term, nothing renews on its own and there is nothing to cancel. • A new term is added to the current one, and an App Store offer code can be redeemed in the app: "Have an App Store offer code?". One subscription, one device • New iPhone? "Settings" → "Account and devices" → "Sign in with Apple" or "Restore purchases" with the same Apple ID. Your access moves to the new iPhone and stops on the old one. Also • Dark and light appearance. • Larger iPhone text sizes are supported. • A reminder when your access is about to end, if you allow notifications.
