The difference you will notice
An iPhone can send traffic through a VPN in two shapes. A system VPN configuration takes in the connection of the whole phone, including apps that know nothing about it. A proxy setting, such as one attached to a single Wi-Fi network, applies only to what honours it, which is mostly web browsing. If you came for a fake IP address on an iPhone, the first shape moves more traffic.
So a proxy profile is enough for one browser and not for apps, messengers or background services. This page helps you spot which one you set up.
Setup in five moves
Ask the Telegram bot for a link; the personal link comes back within a minute or so and no account is needed.
Install a client that reads VLESS links, for example Happ, Hiddify or V2Box, after checking that its store page lists iPhone.
Import the link from the clipboard.
Allow the VPN configuration that iOS offers, which adds it to the VPN list in the phone settings.
Pick Germany, Austria, Czechia, Singapore or South Korea and switch on.
Where the settings live
Manual VPN entries on an iPhone sit under Settings, General, VPN and Device Management, where you can add a configuration and switch it on and off. Apps that bring their own client add a configuration there once you approve it. A VLESS client usually does this for you, so you rarely type server details by hand.
The path wording shifts between iOS versions, so use the phone's settings search for "VPN" if the menu does not match.
Free options and what to watch
Free VPN apps on the store vary in how they earn money; ads, data and traffic caps are the common routes. We cannot rate other services. Check the developer, the privacy terms and what the app asks of you.
Our trial is free for 10 days with a link from the bot. After that, plans are paid in the bot with cryptocurrency, and nothing renews on its own. Check the home page or the bot for plan prices.
The service has no servers in India, and it makes no promise about content that a rights holder restricts in your region.
Checks after connecting
- The key or VPN symbol is visible in the status bar.
- An IP lookup shows a server country from our list, not your home provider.
- A DNS leak test does not name your home provider.
- A WebRTC check in the browser you use does not show a home address.
- An app that ignores browser settings, such as a messenger, still works.
When to skip the app store route
Some readers have no store access on the phone, or the account region hides the clients. We cannot advise on workarounds that break the store's terms, and a profile installed from an unknown site is a security risk. Use the developer's own channels, and keep your phone updated.
You are reading a seller, so lean on the checks above and not on our word. Disclosure: AI drafting produced the first version, and a human reader then trimmed anything the product itself does not offer.
Call log
01Do I need to pay to use a VPN on iPhone?
Not at first: the trial is free and the bot issues the link. After that, plans are paid in the bot.
02Can an iPhone and an iPad share one link?
Yes, one link has no device cap.
03Why does my iPhone say VPN is connected but sites still show my real IP?
The client may be in a proxy mode or the profile may not be active. Check the status icon and the client's mode.
04What does it cost the battery?
A tunnel that stays up all day draws a little extra power. We publish no figures, so check your battery screen after a day.
05Do I need a Mac or a computer to set it up?
No. Everything happens on the phone: bot, client, import.
06Which payment methods does the bot take?
Only cryptocurrency, such as USDT, paid inside the bot. Payment is crypto only, so a card or UPI will not go through.
07What if the client rejects my link?
Request a fresh link in the bot and import it again; contact support through the bot if it persists.
