What can be free
The app can be free: a client that reads a subscription link does not need a licence fee. A trial can be free: the bot gives you a link for 10 days with no payment. A permanently free server with no limits cannot exist, because someone pays for the machine and its traffic. When an iPhone app promises that, look for where the cost went, which is usually adverts, a data cap or the sale of your browsing.
Questions to put to any free iPhone app
- Who is the company, and is there a contact you can read?
- What does the privacy page say about logs and about advertising partners?
- Is there a data cap, a time limit or a short list of locations?
- Does it want an email, a phone number or a created account before it works?
- Does it show adverts inside the tunnel or between screens?
- What is the paid tier, and what does the free tier lack on purpose?
How this service handles it
Here the app and the server are separate things. The client is free, the service names Happ, Hiddify and V2Box, and you should check which of them your App Store lists in your region before you plan around one. The key is a personal VLESS subscription link from the Telegram bot, which turns up within about a minute and needs no sign-up. The trial costs nothing, and afterwards you choose a period if you want to continue.
We keep no logs, which is our statement, and there is no traffic cap and no device limit on one link.
Getting the free parts onto the phone
Ask the Telegram bot for the trial link.
In the App Store, find a client that accepts a subscription link.
Add the link inside the client by pasting it.
Pick a location from Helsinki, Warsaw, Tokyo, Istanbul or Paris, and connect.
Allow the add-VPN-configuration prompt that iOS shows on first use.
When the paid plan is worth it
If the trial convinces you, the arithmetic is simple. Four lengths exist and the longer a period, the lower the monthly price; check the home page or the bot for the amounts. Crypto is the only way to pay, in the bot, with no cards or UPI, and nothing renews by itself. One link can serve an iPhone, a laptop and a tablet. Someone who wants a tunnel for a weekend trip should look at the shortest period, and someone who will use it every day will find the long ones cheaper per month.
No server is in India, so this plan cannot give you an Indian address.
Reading this page with the right level of trust
A page that explains free and paid options on a site that sells the paid one will lean one way, so the list of questions above is written to be asked of our own service too. Should it matter that software produced the first draft? It was then read by an editor, who set it beside the service itself. Laws on tunnels vary between countries and shift, and your local law, as well as the rules of the sites you open, stays with you.
Questions
Is there a free iPhone VPN with no ads and no limits?
Not that can be confirmed. Servers cost money, so check how an app earns before trusting it with your traffic.
Will the trial ask for a card?
No card is needed to start. The bot issues the link, and payment in crypto comes only when you decide to continue.
Can I use the iPhone setting in the Settings app instead of an app?
That screen is for built-in protocols. The service gives a VLESS subscription link, so you need a client app. The iPhone setup page covers this in detail.
Why do some free apps work only for a day?
Many cap time or data, which is a way to push you to a paid tier. Read the limits on the store page.
Can I try it on my iPad too?
Yes, since the link has no device limit.
What if the free app I picked behaves badly?
Remove it, delete the profile it added and try a different client. The link works in any client that reads subscriptions.
No card, no account. USDT is paid only if you continue.
