SkyRay is the app for your EthaVPN subscription links. Open your link once and the app does the rest. ONE TAP Tap Connect. SkyRay measures every server in your subscription and connects to the fastest one. Your server changes only when you connect or pick one yourself; the app never switches you while you are online. BUILT FOR SLOW AND UNSTABLE NETWORKS SkyRay uses the Xray core with modern transports that work where ordinary VPN protocols are blocked or throttled. If a server stops answering, the app moves to the next one so you are not left offline. CLEAR ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT The Home screen shows the days left on your subscription and the data you have used, refreshed automatically. Pick a server from a list sorted fastest first, each with its live ping, or leave it on Auto. SIMPLE BY DESIGN No sign-up, no password, no ads. Your subscription link is your account. Add it by tapping it in Telegram, pasting it, or scanning a QR code. PRIVATE SkyRay collects no personal data and has no analytics. The app stores your subscription link and your server choice on your phone and nowhere else. Traffic is encrypted between your phone and the EthaVPN server. ABOUT SUBSCRIPTIONS Nothing is sold inside the app. A subscription comes from the EthaVPN service; the app only connects with it. Without a subscription link, the app cannot connect. SkyRay works on iPhone and iPad and is available in English, Persian and Russian.

About

Jazz Private Browser

Jazz Browser is a web browser for iPhone and iPad, built on Apple's WebKit engine. It blocks trackers, keeps separate sets of logins in named containers, and has a VPN you can switch on from a tab inside the browser. It is completely free: no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paid tier, no trial, no ads. BROWSING - Tabs, a tab grid, private tabs, pinned tabs and a list of recently closed tabs - Bookmarks, history, shortcuts on the start page, find on page - Reader mode for long articles - Page translation that runs on the device with Apple's built-in translator, so the page text never leaves your iPhone or iPad - Picture in picture, and audio that keeps playing in the background with lock screen controls - Downloads saved into the Files app, a choice of search engine including custom ones, light and dark themes CONTAINERS Named containers such as Work, Personal and Shopping each keep their own cookies and logins, so the same site can be two independent sessions at once. Unlike a private tab, a container remembers the sign-in. It is about separation, not forgetting. BLOCKING - Built-in content blocking rules, plus filter list subscriptions in Adblock Plus format (EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter Lowe's list) converted to WebKit content rules - Link cleaning strips tracking parameters such as utm_source and fbclid from the links you follow, so a link you forward no longer carries a marker pointing back to you - Page report: how many resources the page loaded, which third-party domains it contacted, which of those are known trackers, and whether the page and everything on it arrived over HTTPS - Leak protection: three WebKit subsystems (DNS prefetch, WebAuthn, WebTransport) can reach the network around the proxy and expose your real address. The browser can shut them down for one site or everywhere. PER-SITE SETTINGS JavaScript, images, autoplay, desktop layout and text zoom are kept per domain and survive a restart. LOCK AND CLEAN-UP - Lock the browser with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode; it locks as soon as you leave the app - Clear history, cookies and site data when you exit, with control over what gets cleared VPN The VPN is off until you tap connect. It is built on Apple's Network Extension framework, covers the whole device, and keeps working when the browser is closed. - Pick a server location - Split tunneling: decide what goes through the tunnel and what goes direct - Before the VPN can be turned on, a screen explains exactly what data is processed FREE Jazz Browser is free. There is nothing to buy inside it, no subscription, no paid tier, no trial, and no advertising. PRIVACY We keep no traffic logs. We do not record, analyse or store the contents of your connections, and we do not sell, share or disclose user data to third parties. A VPN changes the address a site sees; it does not make you anonymous to a site you have signed in to.
