  • Free use of VPN protocols, and support for almost every major VPN plugin. Also includes updates coming out for aforementioned protocols which in turn make use of the app rather satisfying

  • Multiple connections allowed to be established on the go, allowing for multi-tasking at work or for versatile personal use
  • A plethora of safety features, including Two-Factor authentication, advanced use of MacOS key and password control systems (Keychain), and more. The use of Tokens is, of course, in place which in turn makes using this VPN sufficiently safe
  • Different accounting features and statistics, keeping track of all data being transferred for better insight into billing data. This comes in clutch for business and consultant users, helping organize the data usage.
