Literally the only VPN I've ever used. Free to use, easy to use. Found it when I needed it most. Best VPN I've used
★★★★★Andres Sierra· Aug 4, 2026
Easy to use and fast, auto reconnects. Recommended.
★★★★☆maklas· Sep 23, 2026
When trying to connect by pressing a quick button In android notification bar it won't connect. It asks for login and password even though they are supposed to be remembered. Apart from that works great
★★★★★Todd Hartley· Sep 16, 2026
Effective, easy to use, stable, and absolutely imperative for privacy and security.
★★★★★arsham moradi· Aug 27, 2026
Please add app-based split tunneling to OpenVPN, so users can choose which specific apps use the VPN while other apps continue to use the normal internet connection. This feature would greatly improve usability and flexibility. Thank you!
★★★★★Giggle Bitter· Aug 12, 2026
I could play uma musume with this app. Very useful 🤑🤑🤑
★☆☆☆☆alex garces· Aug 26, 2026
Not easy to install, terrible. The phone is off and you have to configure again. No help chat.
★☆☆☆☆Helena Borges· Sep 22, 2026
I installed it, gave all my Google information and doesn't give access.
★☆☆☆☆Andy Bates· Aug 30, 2026
Absolutely garbage app. Constantly have to download .ovpn files which works now then simply disconnecting and trying to reconnect it doesn't work anymore. Do not waste your time on this rubbish
★★☆☆☆Jason Litke· Aug 6, 2026
Doesn't automatically reconnect after the phone has been on airplane mode and Wi-Fi was off. Have to disconnect and reconnect manually. Doesn't connect on an Open/Unsecured Wi-Fi network. It disconnects by itself after a while of being connected with a profile on my CloudConnexa, then when I reopened the app, the slider buttons for the profile I'm using flipped back and forth several times, and ended up in the off position.
