VPN FAQs

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates a secure, encrypted tunnel for your internet connection, keeping your online activity private, secure, and unrestricted. It also enhances your streaming, gaming, and browsing experience.

Protect Yourself on Public Wi-Fi – Secure your data from hackers when using public networks at cafés, airports, or hotels.

Avoid Price Discrimination – Get better deals on flights, hotels, and online purchases by accessing region-specific pricing.

Work & Travel Without Limits – Securely access company services and files from anywhere in the world.

A VPN ensures privacy, security, and freedom—wherever you go online.

Yes, absolutely! You can download the VPN app on as many devices as you like. With one subscription, you can connect up-to 8 devices at the same time, giving you flexible and seamless protection across all your gadgets. Behind the scenes, VPN uses a smart system that manages these connections smoothly—so you stay protected without any hassle

When you log in to VPN for the first time, that device becomes the main (or Master) device.
Follow the steps on your App and manage the devices –
• Go to Settings
• Profile
• Logged Devices
Here, you can:
• See all the devices currently connected (up to 8 at the same time)
• Remove any device you no longer want connected
• Remove the main device as master and choose another connected device to take over as the new Master. It’s an easy way to stay in control of your VPN connections.

If the Master device is lost or deleted, you can simply pick one of the other connected devices to take over as the new Master. If you need help, contact your service provider support team.
Yes. You can switch between WireGuard and Shadowsocks, depending on whether you need faster speeds or stronger security.
WireGuard is a modern VPN protocol known for its speed, simplicity, and strong security. It connects faster than older protocols like OpenVPN and helps maintain a stable, encrypted connection.
Shadowsocks is a lightweight proxy protocol ideal for bypassing censorship or accessing restricted content. It’s useful when traditional VPN protocols are blocked.
A Kill Switch cuts off your internet if the VPN connection unexpectedly drops, preventing your real IP from leaking.
Split tunneling lets you choose which apps or websites use the VPN and which use your regular internet. For example, stream local content through your normal connection while keeping banking apps on the VPN.
Currently, the Kill Switch is available on Android. Support for iOS and Windows is under development.
