Serena VPN brings your VPN connection into a clear, calm interface on iPhone and iPad. Choose an available location, start or stop the connection and check its status from the main screen. A SIMPLE WAY TO CONNECT • Browse locations by country name and flag. • Search the location list and choose a server. • Start and stop your VPN connection from one screen. • View connection status and session information. • Choose English, Italian or Russian in Settings. • Open support and the privacy policy directly from the app. Serena VPN uses Apple's Network Extension framework to route device traffic through the selected VPN server. iOS or iPadOS asks for permission before adding the VPN configuration. An internet connection and an available, compatible server are required. Connection quality and server availability depend on your network and the service provider. The app does not require an account and has no advertising, in-app purchases or subscriptions. A randomly generated installation identifier is sent to the server-list provider for service functionality. Please read the privacy policy for details about data handling before connecting.
