The app VPN is highly compatible with today's most popular VPN packages worldwide. It is compatible with OpenVPN, L2TP, IPsec, EtherIP, L2TPv3, Cisco VPN routers, and MS-SSTP VPN clients. The VPN is the world's only VPN program that includes SSL-VPN, OpenVPN, L2TP, EtherIP, L2TPv3, and IPsec. Install SoftEther VPN Client with VPN Gate Client Plug-in (just the first time). Launch VPN Gate Client Plug-in and connect to the VPN Gate Server. Enjoy the internet with VPN relaying! 

How does VPN Gate work?

  • VPN Gate network consists of many VPN servers, which are provided by volunteers around the world.
  • You can provide your own computer as a VPN server to join this experiment.
  • Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android are supported.
  • Supports SSL-VPN (SoftEther VPN) protocol, L2TP/IPsec protocol, OpenVPN protocol, and Microsoft SSTP protocol.
  • Anonymous connections are accepted.
  • No user registrations are required.
  • Each VPN server has a dynamic IP address. Therefore it may change at a random period.
  • VPN servers appear and disappear at any time. Therefore, an IP address may not always connect to a VPN server.
  • All VPN servers are capable of routing your traffic to the Internet, so you can disguise your real IP address.
  • Using a server located somewhere other than your region may provide you some more accessible websites because the communication would look as if it is originated from the country the VPN server resides.

Features & Highlights

VPN can bypass government firewalls. 
If the government firewall fails, or if specific websites abroad are inaccessible within the firewall, you can access them by routing your connection to VPN servers located outside of your country of residence. 

VPN can mask your IP address. 
While your connection is relayed through a VPN server, the target server will see the VPN server's IP address rather than your own. This will be extremely beneficial to you because no one can trace back to your original IP address, eliminating the possibility of being spied on. VPN allows you to post information on BBS or send emails fully anonymously, protecting legitimate activists who plan to file a complaint for public benefit. You will be protected from retaliation or lawsuits by the accuser. Finally, even if your computer has been infiltrated by malware and hijacked by a criminal, VPN prevents you from being framed and thrown in jail because your true IP address is hidden. 

VPNs can prevent eavesdropping. 
When utilizing a VPN, all transmissions are automatically encrypted. Even if your local network is infiltrated by snoopers, your broadcasts will be unaffected. Note that this approach can only encrypt packets within the VPN tunnel; thus, packets routed from the VPN server to the destination are not covered by this solution. (In other words, it will not be encrypted.).
