You’re online.
Set it and forget it: global services through the app, everything else direct.
One button, one screen. Traffic that does not go through the app leaves your phone exactly as it did before you installed it — at full speed, from your own address.
The iPhone button opens TestFlight, Apple’s app for betas; if it is not on the device yet, Apple offers it first. Needs iOS 15 or later.
The Chrome button gives you an archive: unzip it, open chrome://extensions, turn on “Developer mode” — the switch at the top right — then press “Load unpacked” and pick the unzipped folder. While the Chrome Web Store review is running this is the only way to install it, and this build comes out ahead of the store’s. The extension itself tells you when a newer one is out.
The iPhone App Store version and the Chrome Web Store are coming: we’ll write when they are there.
Android, as a file: updated from the app or through Google Play
Needs Android 7.0 or later.
How it is built
Two routes instead of one.
A short list goes through the app — the global messengers, social networks, video and AI services. Everything else never enters it at all: it goes past, as it did before you installed this — at your usual speed, from your own address. That is the default. Changing it is a manual choice in the advanced section, and the app explains what changes before it does.
Exactly what is listed inside the app. Nothing else.
Banking apps, payments, government portals, marketplaces, taxis, delivery, local sites — from your usual address, at your carrier's speed.
One button
The main screen is the button.
One screen: a status dot and a button. Grey is offline. Amber is checking. Green means you are online. There are no addresses, keys or configuration files on the screen.
That is how it works by default, and for most people that is the whole of it. If you do want to look at the details or change something, all of that lives in a separate section and never reaches the main screen.
Status
Offline
All traffic leaves your phone directly.
Installing
Three steps, about a minute.
Install the app
iPhone — the beta, through TestFlight; Mac — from the Mac App Store; Chrome — the beta, as a file; Windows — the beta, as a file; the iPhone App Store version and the Chrome Web Store are coming, and we’ll write when they are there. Android from Google Play or as a file — updated from the app or through Google Play. Television — Android TV and Google TV: the same app from Google Play on the television itself, driven with the remote. No account is needed to start: the first month is there from the first launch. Windows may warn about a file it has not seen before: choose “More info”, then “Run anyway”.
Confirm the system prompt
iOS asks once for permission to add a network configuration — the ordinary step for any app that manages routes. Tap Allow and confirm with Face ID. This is the one place people stop, so here is what it looks like.
“V Seti” would like to add a network configuration
The configuration is what lets some apps take a separate route out.
The prompt looks roughly like this, and appears once.
Press the button
The dot turns amber, then green, and you are online. That is the whole setup: no servers, no keys, no country list. After that you can leave the app closed — there is a widget and a Control Center toggle on iPhone.
How it opens
By invitation.
The first month
30 days
From the moment you install it
- The full set of services
- No card and no account
- One month per device
Install it and use it. Nothing to type in, nothing to configure.
Then invitations
30 days
For everyone who joins with your code
- One code, as many people as you like
- The days arrive straight away
- A second device takes 30 days from the account
Everyone has a code in the app. Somebody enters yours on a new phone and you both get 30 days, the same evening.
That is the whole of how it opens: a month for installing it, and days for invitations. The app is free and nothing is sold — not here, not in the app, not anywhere else, and days cannot be bought. There are no tiers either: one set of services, the same for everyone.
Questions
The ones people actually ask.
Will the internet get slower?
What goes through the app takes a longer path, so its response time rises by tens of milliseconds. Nothing changes for anything else — that traffic never enters the app. For the same reason battery and mobile data usage are lower than when everything goes through a server.
What happens to my other apps?
Nothing. Their traffic does not enter this app: it leaves your phone the way it did before you installed this, from your address, at your usual speed. From the services' side nothing changes — not the address, not the route, not anything else.
What do you store about me?
An account, how many days are left on it, and which node you are assigned to. There are no traffic logs — not permanent ones, not temporary ones, not "just while we debug" ones. We do not know which sites you open and we do not want to: what does not exist cannot be lost or handed over.
No phone number is involved at any point. Email is for account recovery only, and everything works without it. Details are in the privacy notice.
What if the dot does not turn green?
Then the app has not confirmed the route — most often because of the state of the mobile network at that moment. It says so plainly instead of showing green: an indicator that cannot tell the two apart is worse than no indicator at all. On Wi-Fi and fixed-line connections this happens noticeably less.
What happens when the days run out?
The app stops turning on and says so. Everything else on the phone carries on exactly as before — that traffic never went through the app anyway. To have days again, invite somebody with your code, or enter somebody else's.
Does it work on a television?
Yes — on Android TV and Google TV: the same app from Google Play on the television itself. One screen, one button, driven with the remote.
