Description
As easy as installing a mobile app, PairVPN can turn any phone, tablet, or computer into your personal VPN Server. The technology is so innovative that it was actually patented!
Supports iOS, Android, Windows and Mac. Just run the PairVPN app on your connecting device and your server device, pair them once and connect from anywhere. To install on non-Android platforms please visit https://pairvpn.com.
You can use PairVPN for many things - 1. Remote Access to Home/Office Network 2. Bypass geographic restrictions from streaming services 3. Bypass network restrictions from your Internet connection 4. Protect from snooping on untrustworthy public Internet 5. Secure your network usage over public WiFi 6. Establish a peer-to-peer tunnel between any two devices on the Internet
Privacy is certainty - PairVPN is designed in a way that no personal information, password, or security keys are collected or stored remotely. The pairing process ensures your connections stay secure and anonymous even from us. On the other hand, you control the VPN server and we have no access to your network activities by design. This is different from normal VPN services.
Security with ease - For remote access, large corporations can afford to hire network specialists to set up dedicated VPN servers and firewalls. This will not be realistic for many home or small office networks, which may not even have a fixed public IP. The PairVPN app offers simplified security configuration and does not require changing firewall or setting up accounts. By allowing only paired clients to connect it also greatly hardens security.

WhatsApp works perfectly for getting my tablet to full speed internet using my phone's hotspot.
★★★★☆Drew King· Oct 9, 2024
This product used alone creates a very fast connection to the internet on my laptop which is normally tethered down to 5 megabits, and now I get a heck of a lot more than that. Here is my problem this is a dealbreaker. I need to use on my Windows computer a VPN program Windows itself supports the use of multiple vpns so running pair VPN and my VPN should work well together, and I believe that it used to but not anymore when I start my VPN pair VPN crashes. Help please! I will assist a developer
★★★★★Evan McGurrin· Mar 5, 2024
Top-notch! I use Pair VPN all the time, both to connect my phone to local servers on my laptop, and connecting my laptop to hotspot without having to deal with the mediocre cell provider DNS system. Very useful, very solid. 100% would (and do) recommend!
★★★★★Matt Marshall· May 19, 2024
The BEST! Full device bandwidth! Here's my setup (after install of Pvpn Win. Client): 1. Connect phone to Windows PC. 2. Start a "normal tether". 3. Go to "Network adapters". 4. Select "Ethernet-Pvpn net adapter"->Properties. 5. Click "sharing" tab. 6. Select PC Ethernet in drop-down, check "share this...". 7. Go back, select PC Ethernet adapter, properties, IPv4 properties. Set DNS to your preferred (like 8.8.8.8), OK. 8. Connect eth cable, PC->router WAN port. 9. Start svr + client. Enjoy!

Also a really good app, I'd say it's better than planet since it uses your actual hotspot (and actually works most of the time)
★☆☆☆☆LovelySoul· Feb 9, 2025
It's an amazing app for what it does. It extended my hotspot speed 10x more after it had been throttled BUT it keeps disconnecting. There needs to be settings for a timer just like it was for Planet since this app is made by the same developers. If I could turn on the app, and it is connected for an unlimited amount of time UNTIL I turn it off that would be great!
★☆☆☆☆Cameron Gonzales· Nov 28, 2024
Hey, I need help please. When I try to turn on the VPN, I get an error saying "Internet connection error" despite already being connected to data/my hotspot. I uninstalled and reinstalled Pair VPN to try and fix issue, even tried switching my PC to the server and my phone to client side, vice versa, multiple times. I learned that whichever device uses the Client side gives an "internet connection error" instead of giving the code required to connect to the server side. Never had a problem til now

Update: DOWNLOAD PLANET INSTEAD...WENT FROM .02 MBPS BECUASE OF THROTTLE TO 30 MBPS... keep reading for how bad this PAIR app works tho... don't bother, it apparently used to work, but now just CONSTANTLY disconnects.... I saw other comments saying the same thing but figured maybe they were wrong.... they weren't, it straighten up doesn't work, which REALLY sucks because planet used to be my jam and worked so well back in the day, disappointed that the same team would put out garbage like this....

Trust & Safety: Uses standard Android permissions for network access and foreground operation (e.g., INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, POST_NOTIFICATIONS, biometric/fingerprint usage, etc.). The app promotes a privacy-centric approach, claiming no personal information or security keys are stored remotely and that pairing keeps connections under the user’s control.
