Connect and disconnect
- Tap the large round button on the home screen. White with a broken chain means disconnected; a spinning ring means connecting; blue with a linked chain means connected; amber means the route is down or the app is resolving it automatically.
- Connecting takes up to 8 seconds. If a route doesn't respond, the app automatically tries another protocol and then another route, with no action needed from you.
- Once connected, the home screen shows the connection time, download / upload speed, data used this session and your exit IP. Tap the button again to disconnect.
- If you still can't connect, tap Get new routes (up to 3 times an hour). If the problem continues, tap View service status or open a ticket.
Connection check
Tap Check on the home screen to see your exit IP and your device's own IP, and to find out whether DNS is leaking or the connection is being hijacked. Each row shows "Checking…" while the check runs. If a DNS leak is found, tap Fix to turn on Send all DNS through the proxy and run the check again. If the check doesn't finish, tap Check again after a moment.
Choose an exit or use Auto
- Tap Change on the home screen to open Exits. Auto is at the top, followed by your dedicated IPs and the exits grouped by country, each showing its load and latency. Tap Test on a country card to measure latency again.
- Auto connects you through an available route and uses that route's default shared exit. To use a dedicated IP, select it yourself.
- Tap an exit to switch to it. The app reconnects within a second or two, and websites and videos you have open reconnect automatically. Each device chooses its own exit independently.
- Star the countries you use most often.
- Exits can only be changed in the app; Exits on the website is view-only. In third-party clients, choose from the client's own node list.
New IP
- Tap New IP on the home screen to switch at random to a different shared exit in the same country. It's free, and the app reconnects within a second or two.
- If no other exit is available in that country, the app suggests choosing another country.
- New IP doesn't affect your dedicated IPs. To change a dedicated IP, see "Dedicated IP".
