Most free VPNs pay for themselves by logging where you go and selling it. We don't keep those records in the first place — there is no browsing history on our servers to leak, subpoena, or sell.
App preview. Speeds shown are illustrative.
Every free VPN is paid for somehow. It is a fair question to ask how, and most providers answer it badly. Here is ours, in plain terms.
The phrase is worth nothing without detail, so:
The honest caveat: no VPN can prove a negative to you, and you should not take any provider's word as proof — including ours. What we can do is describe exactly what runs, keep the list short enough to check, and not ask for information we would then have to protect.
No traffic logs, no throttling, no data brokers in the loop. The list below is what ships today, not a roadmap.
Every connection is sealed with AES-256 or ChaCha20, the same ciphers your bank and your browser use. We hold no key that would let us read it.
If the tunnel drops, Android blocks every packet until it comes back. Nothing falls through to your normal connection while you are not looking.
Pick which apps go through the tunnel and which talk to the network directly. Banking apps that dislike VPNs can stay outside it.
DNS-level blocking works across every app on the device, not just the browser. Available on Premium.
Auto-select measures latency to each server and connects to the quickest. The built-in speed test lets you check what you are actually getting.
AetherTLS makes tunnel traffic look like ordinary HTTPS, which gets through most networks that filter on protocol signatures. No VPN can promise this everywhere, and we do not.
The controls are there when you go looking for them, and out of the way when you don't.
Traffic stops at the OS level the moment the tunnel drops.
Keep chosen apps on your normal connection while the rest are tunnelled.
DNS-level blocking across every app on the device. Premium only.
Pings every server in parallel and connects to whichever answers quickest.
Measure real download speed through your VPN tunnel without leaving the app.
Save whole connection setups, and restore them on a new phone with one key.
Duration, protocol and server for each session, kept on the phone and nowhere else.
Override DNS on a per-connection basis for full resolver control.
Move a server config to another phone by scanning it. No retyping keys.
Connects by itself when you join a network you have not marked as trusted.
English, Español, Français, 中文 and العربية, with full right-to-left layout.
Live ping latency and load percentage shown per server before you connect.
Install it, pick a server, tap connect. There is no account wall in between.
Install AetherShield from Google Play. Free, and no sign-up screen on first launch.
Use the shared server, or watch one opt-in ad to unlock the Fast Server for an hour. Premium skips the ad.
Tap connect. Kill switch activates, traffic is encrypted, and you browse freely and privately.
AetherShield runs on two tunnelling stacks. One is tuned for throughput, the other for getting through networks that filter on protocol shape.
Three ways to use it. Two of them cost nothing, and none of them need a card up front.
Install it on Android, pick a server and turn on the kill switch. There is no sign-up screen, and nothing to cancel if you stop using it.
Free to download, no card required. An iPhone build and browser-based Web Access are both still in progress.
