VPN for iPhone: a free client and one link

There is no brand app to look for. You install a free client, add the link, and iOS asks for one permission.

How it works on an iPhone

To use a VPN for iPhone from this service, install a free VLESS client from the App Store and paste the personal link from our Telegram bot. Happ has an App Store listing (source below); other clients exist, so search the App Store for one that takes subscription links. The link comes from the bot within about a minute, and nothing needs signing up for: no account, no email, no password.

Once the client is installed, iOS asks once to add a network configuration. Accept it, and the client shows up under the VPN section of the phone's settings.

Steps on the phone

  1. Open the bot in Telegram, get the link and copy it.

  2. Search the App Store for the client's name and install it. Availability can differ by country, so look for the exact name.

  3. Open the client, look for the add-subscription entry and paste the link there.

  4. Pick a server and tap connect. iOS shows a prompt to allow a VPN configuration; confirm it with your passcode or Face ID.

  5. While the tunnel is running, a little VPN badge shows in the status bar.

What your address looks like to a website

People sometimes ask about a "fake IP address" on an iPhone. What happens is simple: while the tunnel is up, websites see the address of the server rather than your operator's. The server list has Manchester, Madrid, Singapore, Abu Dhabi and Toronto. India is not on it, so an Indian address cannot come from this service.

Mobile data and battery

The tunnel adds a little work for the phone, so expect slightly higher battery use, mostly on a weak cell signal. We publish no figures for this. The plan has unlimited traffic, but your operator's data pack still counts what you use.

To keep the drain down, turn the client off when you do not need it, use Wi-Fi where you can, and avoid leaving it connected overnight.

Without an App Store account

A client has to come from the App Store, which needs an Apple account in the country whose store you use. There is no safe workaround we can recommend, and files from outside the store are not something to trust on a phone that holds your messages and banking apps.

What the word free covers here

The client is free; the service is a paid plan after the free trial in the bot, payable in cryptocurrency only. Free iPhone VPNs found by searching are a different thing: if no one tells you who runs the server, you are the product. Because this site has a service of its own to offer, see these as questions to ask rather than a ranking. The draft of this page was produced with an AI model and compared by editors with the service facts afterwards.

Rules that apply to you

Laws differ by country and change, and so do the terms of streaming and banking apps. Following them is your job.

The service gives you an encrypted route and does not promise that any catalogue, sports channel or betting site opens.

Questions and answers

Programme

Can I run it on my iPad too?

The same link works, and one subscription has no device limit. The iPad uses a client from its own App Store.

Which client is easiest?

Pick whichever interface you find simplest. All of them read the same link.

Does it keep running when I lock the phone?

Normally the connection stays up, but check it after long sleep or a switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data.

Do I have to renew each month?

Nothing renews itself. You come back to the bot when you want another period.

Does the first stretch cost anything?

Yes, the first 10 days cost nothing; the bot hands you the link.

Does it log my activity?

No history of your connections is stored.
