Changing my review to one star until the connectivity is fixed. I've already tried contacting support, which just told me that some maintenance on the servers is ongoing, and the issue should be fixed soon. In the past few weeks I can't connect reliably 90% of the time.

I coudnt connect at first I sent a ticket and they helped me how to fix it Now everything is good and all servers working fine but android app still didnt work for me. I had to use another app called open sttp client with sstp protocol which the servers are in my dashboard and i add them manually It could be better if you add other protocols in your android app

I usually use Mulvad but wanted to try something new. This app uses almost 4x as much of my phone battery when running in the background while having significantly fewer servers and a higher price per month. When I signed up, it tried to force a renewing subscription instead of allowing me to pay as I go. I just lost three charging hours because of the app running in the background and I almost suspect they are using clients as part of a botnet. I will not be renewing service once it expires.
