Release notes

Version 1.13.0

  • Added Kill Switch: If the VPN connection drops, your internet access pauses automatically. It’s off by default. Turn it on in Settings with Kill switch (privacy protection).
  • Improved browsing right after connecting: When you connect with OpenVPN, websites now load as soon as the app shows Connected, with no pause on the first page.
  • Improved local device discovery: With Allow access to devices on the local network turned on, printers, media servers, and smart TVs now show up while you’re connected, just as they do when you’re not.
  • Clearer connection status: After you close the Current Server Connection Failed message, the button goes back to Connect, and the message no longer reappears when you reopen the app. Clicking Disconnect now shows Disconnecting right away.
  • Improved stability: Fixed rare crashes when a connection ends or when Windows shuts down.

Version 1.12.1

  • Cleaner network list: WireGuard connections now reuse a small set of network entries in Windows, which helps keep your network list tidy.

Version 1.12.0

  • More reliable connection service: Fixed cases where “Connection service is currently down” could appear after reopening the app or restarting your PC, and improved stability when the app starts or you switch Windows users.
  • WireGuard recovers after an interrupted connection: Fixed cases where WireGuard couldn’t connect again after you cancelled a connection attempt or the connection service restarted unexpectedly.
  • Starts with Windows: The app now opens at Windows startup when “Run on Windows launch” is turned on.
  • Clearer status when minimized: If the server drops while the app is minimized, the app now shows Reconnecting and a notification.
  • Smaller fixes: Recent locations no longer list locations that have no servers available, plus general stability improvements.

Version 1.11.0

  • Fixed endless reconnecting: Resolved several cases where the app could get stuck reconnecting without recovering—after the connection service stopped unexpectedly, after a protocol process was closed, and around 30–60 seconds after a successful connection.
  • More reliable connections: Fixed OpenVPN connections failing while WireGuard worked, and a case where a second WireGuard connection failed after connecting and disconnecting once.
  • Fewer “Connection service is currently down” errors: Fixed the error appearing immediately after the app started, and a case where Repair didn’t restart the connection service.
  • Fixed sign-in from the website: Signing in on the web now signs you in to the app.
  • Multi-language installer: The installer is now available in more languages.

Version 1.10.0

  • Improved reliability of recovery after a dropped connection.
  • Fixed several cases where connecting could get stuck.
  • Fixed more cases of “Connection service is currently down”.
  • Fixed a crash that could happen when connecting.

Version 1.9.1

  • Fixed misrouted diagnostic information: Some app diagnostics were being written to the wrong place. They now go to the right place.

Version 1.9.0

  • Fixed app hang at startup: Resolved an issue where the app could hang on startup on certain Windows network configurations.
  • More reliable connection startup: Fixed additional cases where “Connection service is currently down” could appear after sign-in.
  • Fixed stuck connection after closing the app: Resolved a case where closing and reopening the app could leave the connection in a stuck state until reboot.
  • More reliable connections overall: Improved how the app handles connection attempts across protocols and servers, reducing failure rates.

Version 1.8.0

  • New Reconnecting state: The app now shows a dedicated Reconnecting state while restoring a dropped connection.
  • More complete diagnostic information: Fixed several cases where diagnostics were missing from the diagnostic bundle attached to support requests, helping the support team resolve issues faster.

Version 1.7.0

  • More resilient connection handling: The app now automatically falls back to the next server or protocol if a connection attempt fails. This covers cases where ports are blocked or specific servers don’t respond.
  • More reliable location switching: Fixed cases where switching between locations could fail or get stuck.
  • Accurate connection state: Resolved an issue where the app could briefly appear connected even though the underlying tunnel had failed.
  • Reliable disconnects: Fixed cases where disconnecting from a server could hang.

Version 1.6.0

  • Improved connection service startup reliability: We fixed additional cases where the connection service could fail to start, helping ensure the app connects more consistently.

Version 1.5.0

  • Enhanced diagnostics: We improved internal diagnostics to better detect and understand issues when they occur, helping us improve stability over time.
  • More reliable connections: Improved how the app connects to locations by better handling server selection and ensuring locations remain available even when latency checks fail.

Version 1.4.1

  • Improved connection service reliability: Fixed additional cases where “Connection service is down” errors could appear.
  • More reliable login state: Resolved issues that could occasionally cause users to become logged out unexpectedly.

Version 1.4.0

  • More stable connection service handling: Resolved cases where “Connection service is down” errors could appear.
  • Improved reconnection reliability: We improved how the app reconnects to WireGuard after a long period of inactivity, helping prevent unexpected disconnects and ensuring smoother reconnections over time.

Version 1.3.0

  • Improved reliability and stability: We made several under-the-hood improvements to make the app more reliable. These changes reduce unexpected failures, prevent silent crashes, and help keep connections working smoothly.
  • Enhanced diagnostics: We improved internal diagnostics to better detect and understand issues when they occur, helping us improve stability over time.

Version 1.2.0

  • More reliable server connections: We fixed issues where connecting to a server could fail immediately and cases where the connection service could crash and prevent connections. If latency (ping) results aren’t available, the app now automatically selects a random server, and the fastest location updates correctly after connecting.
  • Clearer connection status: Connection and disconnection states are now more responsive and accurate, including properly showing the Disconnecting state and surfacing connection service issues sooner.
  • Improved stability: The app now handles corrupted settings more gracefully and includes additional safeguards to prevent rare issues that could disrupt connectivity.
  • Stronger diagnostics: We enhanced internal diagnostics and monitoring to better detect and understand connection issues, helping us improve reliability over time.

Version 1.1.0

  • Smarter server selection (latency-first, with optional A–Z): We simplified the server picker and now sort servers by latency by default, so the fastest options show up first. If you prefer sorting by name, A–Z is still available anytime.
  • Simplified server selection: We streamlined the server picker to make it cleaner and easier to find the server you want.
  • Updated country flags: We refreshed country flags across the app for a more accurate, consistent look.

Version 1.0.1

  • Redesigned signed-out screen: We refreshed the experience for users who aren’t signed in, making it clearer, cleaner, and easier to get started.
  • Improved settings reliability: Fixed an issue that could prevent certain settings from being saved properly. Your preferences should now stick every time.

Version 1.0.0

  • Simple setup process: Download, install, and start browsing privately in just a few minutes. No complicated configuration needed.
  • Fast, reliable protocols: Choose between WireGuard and OpenVPN protocols, or let the app pick the best one automatically for optimal speed and security.
  • 100+ global server locations: Connect to servers across the world. Stream, browse, and access content from anywhere.
