😎🔬 Proton VPN just got updated. When iOS updated the app with the kill switch on, it was a total mess: iOS blocked internet for nearly 6 minutes, then terminated the app and its VPN tunnel, exposing iPhone traffic and IP. The VPN required a manual restart 😠.

😱 iOS 26.4.2 still leaks the real IP when updating VPN apps. Motivated by Mullvad's recent blog, we made a website that logs the iPhone IP every second. We started Mullvad VPN, opened the website, then let Mullvad update in the background. See the leaks in action.. 🤯

Force all app traffic into the tunnel

Apple's networking stack are preventing the iOS app from being as secure as possible, we have now secured our app to mitigate this.

FYI: FaceTime calls expose your IP to other participants. In Settings → Privacy & Security → App Privacy Report you can see recent call IPs, and others can see yours. Unlike Signal and WhatsApp, Apple offers no option to relay calls through its servers to hide your IP

🚀🤘Introducing Psylo: A New Kind of Private Browser

After 9 months of development, we're super excited to finally launch Psylo, a new kind of private web browser for iOS and iPadOS.

In Psylo, each tab is its own “silo” with isolated storage, cookies, and even its own IP address. Psylo introduces advanced anti-tracking and anti-fingerprinting features that go beyond what a VPN can offer.
