About

Zetta Link

Read full description

Zetta routes your iPhone's traffic through the proxy servers in your subscription, following the rules you set. SUBSCRIPTIONS • Paste a subscription URL and Zetta parses the server list. • Keep several subscriptions and switch between them with a tap. • Each subscription can refresh on its own schedule. ROUTING • Rule mode sends mainland China domains and IPs direct and everything else through the server. Global mode sends everything through the server. • Add your own rules: domain, domain suffix, keyword, IP range. • Type a domain to see which rule it would hit before you connect. CONNECTION • Live upload and download speed, connection time, and the last 60 seconds as a chart. • Test server latency before connecting. • A widget on the Home Screen and Lock Screen shows the connection state. • Siri and Shortcuts: "Turn on Zetta", "Zetta connect to Tokyo 01". PRIVACY • No account and no sign-up. Subscription URLs stay on your device. • Zetta has no servers of its own and sends nothing anywhere except to the servers in your subscription. Zetta needs a subscription from a proxy provider. It does not include one.

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.
