Lama Client
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lama Client is a VPN client for your own access keys. Add one key or several, and the llama keeps the connection going. IMPORTANT: you need an access key from your provider — a vless://, vmess://, trojan:// or ss:// link, or a subscription URL. The app does not sell or provide VPN servers. SEVERAL KEYS, ONE QUEUE Keys from different providers live in one list, in the order you choose. Turn on Autopilot, and if the active key drops or the internet stops working through it, the llama connects the next one. You don't have to tap anything. AUTOPILOT • Turns the VPN on by itself on unfamiliar Wi-Fi and on cellular • Trusted networks: no VPN at home or at work • Regularly checks that the connection through the key is alive, and switches keys if it isn't EASY TO ADD A KEY Paste a link from the clipboard, scan a QR code, or load every key from your provider's subscription. Each key shows its latency, and the list can be sorted by speed. Keep a note on a key — for example, when it expires. ROUTES Pick sites that should open directly, outside the VPN — your bank, for example. Or the other way round: send only selected sites through the key. THE LLAMA The llama dozes while the VPN is off and stands guard once you're connected. A Home Screen widget turns the VPN on and off without opening the app, and a Live Activity shows the status on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. PRIVACY • No account, no registration, no ads • No analytics or third-party trackers • Keys are stored in the iPhone's encrypted Keychain and never leave the device • We run no servers of our own: traffic goes to your provider's server Protocols: VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks; TLS and Reality; TCP, WebSocket, gRPC, HTTP/2, HTTPUpgrade and XHTTP transports. The connection uses Apple's system VPN mechanism. On first connection iOS asks permission to add a VPN configuration. Requires an iPhone with iOS 17 or later.

VIPASS isn't a mass-market VPN — it's your own: a dedicated server just for you, no neighbours, no limits, no sign-up. Where to get a key: any vless key or subscription URL from any provider will do. If you don't have one, our Telegram bot @vipass_robot gives out a free trial key, no sign-up. WHAT THE APP DOES A universal client: it accepts any compatible config — VLESS/Reality, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks. • One-tap connect, multiple servers in the list • Ping check for every server • Add a key: paste from the clipboard, import a file, or a subscription URL • Control Centre toggle — without opening the app • VLESS + Reality (XTLS, xtls-rprx-vision) with traffic masquerading • No data collection: keys stay on your device only • Dark interface, no ads, no sign-up, no accounts WHAT A VIPASS KEY ADDS OVER A MASS-MARKET VPN • Dedicated VIP server — yours alone. Mass-market VPNs put dozens of users on one IP • Mobile proxies — mobile internet in almost any country, not just datacentre IPs • Country choice — 200+ countries: US, Netherlands, Uganda and more, not a fixed location list • Local services — banks, government and marketplace apps keep working with the VPN on, no manual toggling • YouTube ads — the video starts right away, no pre-roll • Ad blocking — in apps and on sites, at the DNS level. Mass-market VPNs: none, or a separate subscription • Devices — unlimited: phone, tablet, laptop and the whole family. Mass-market VPNs: usually 3–5 per account • IP-ban risk — minimal: your address isn't shared with someone else's behaviour, no captchas for a stranger • Speed — maximum, you don't share the pipe. Mass-market VPNs: throttling at peak hours • Privacy — fully isolated traffic, not a shared channel with other people's sessions • Reliability — 99.999%, no single point of failure • VIP support 24/7 — a live team, not auto-replies You'll need a vless key or a subscription URL to connect. A free trial key is in our Telegram bot @vipass_robot.
