Data Stored on Device
The following data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to us:
- Server configurations (address, port, protocol, credentials) — stored in a local database
- Subscription URLs — stored in a local database
- App preferences (theme, DNS, routing rules) — stored in Android SharedPreferences
- Connection logs — stored temporarily in memory, cleared when the App is closed
Network Activity
The App performs the following network activities:
- VPN tunnel: Routes device traffic through user-configured proxy servers using the Xray protocol
- Subscription updates: Fetches server lists from URLs you provide
- Latency testing: Sends HTTP requests to test server response times
All network activity is initiated by user action and connects only to servers the user has configured.
Encryption
All VPN traffic is encrypted using industry-standard protocols, including:
- TLS 1.3
- AES-128-GCM / AES-256-GCM
- ChaCha20-Poly1305
- XTLS (Xray TLS)
The specific encryption method depends on the server configuration you choose.
Data Deletion
All locally stored data can be deleted by:
- Removing individual server configurations or subscriptions within the App
- Clearing App data from Android Settings
- Uninstalling the App
Since no data is stored externally, uninstalling the App removes all associated data completely.
