★★★★★ Pedram · May 30, 2026

Seriously, this is the best VPN working in Iran right now, especially considering how the internet situation is here, as you all know. It's working perfectly! Thank you so much for continuing to provide such an amazing service.

Great app for keeping you p to private and safe while browsing

★☆☆☆☆ Patrick T · Sep 10, 2026

This app keeps hijacking my phone. If I want to turn on my VPN, I'll turn it on. My phone runs slow. The internet is slow when I use it, which I don't even turn it on. It just hijacked my phone. I nearly had Facebook deactivate me because of my suspicious behavior by using the app which I never turned on.

★☆☆☆☆ Aryan Abdolahi Serajzadeh · May 25, 2026

Please provide dns scanner and advanced dns tunneling and cdn fronting for people in Iran.

★☆☆☆☆ Jimmy Wan · Jul 20, 2026

No longer connects. Not sure if it is the app or my recent phone update, but Tor VPN works and this doesn't.

★☆☆☆☆ Mr Hacker · Sep 5, 2026

This app is not secure this is collect your all data history location phone number WhatsApp two-step verification code even everything control your system please leave this app this is not secure 🙏

★☆☆☆☆ Justin Grant · Sep 15, 2026

Auto launches, and I can't find any settings to disable the unwanted feature. This is needlessly slowing my connection while at trusted locations and makes the app more of a frustrating headache than anything. Uninstalling as I refuse to hand over control of my device to an app that lacks any reasonable settings. It's 2026 and options are standard, figure it out.
