Works great. I will buy the paid version for the multi layered encryption and torrent as well as tor onion features. Pairs nice with Firefox also with no ads plugins. Might even go so far as to run things in a virtual software machine inside my phone. I'm just trying to have a way to keep my pictures and video on my own computer so that I can leave the phone plugged in and use it as a file and application server.

Functions excellently and does what it's supposed to when it's connected. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I'd love to be able to just turn it on and leave it on. Instead I find myself having to reconnect it multiple times a day. Having a function like on the desktop version where I can choose if I want it to Auto connect would be excellent.

That doesn’t sound right. Could you share some more details about the issue? Are you receiving any error messages? Have you tried switching protocols? Are you using any other VPNs on the same device? Are you using any firewall or antivirus? Contact us through the 'Report an issue' option in the app menu so we can help you troubleshoot.

Great alternative for the Google One VPN. The VPN part is 100% free and unlimited. Paid features are extra but not necessary to do things. It is really easy to use, and I had basically no learning curve. The only thing I wish it had was the ability to hide IP address instead of changing it to somewhere else. I clicked connect and it changed my IP address to the Netherlands, and some of Google was in Dutch (I think, just not English).
