I like it. But I’m usually a fan of darker contrasts. Would be cool for paid users to be able to change the app icon - future feature maybe. Heh. I always have dark mode on.
Got a tip for us?

I switched to the dark icon, I also like it better. Update is online now with some Bugfixes and more translations.
In one of the next versions, I want to change the underlying VPN framework from https://github.com/ss-abramchuk/OpenVPNAdapter to https://github.com/passepartoutvpn/tunnelkit, so I can use OpenVPN scramble feature. Hope I can manage the transition well.

How interesting. Something new for me to study when I get home. Thank you for keeping us updated.
Stay tuned for SwizzGPT, soon in App Store: https://www.swizzgpt.ch Will create a new thread when it's online.
I have now implemented a custom XOR obfuscation patch in the next update. I will enable it by the end of the next week remotely (as of then all should have auto-updated to the new version). So if someday your VPN connection drops, just restart the app and it should work again.

Kind of weird, but why when I run a Speedtest with the Speedtest app does it disconnect the SwizzVPN? I was hoping to test the speed but when I do I go back to the SwizzVPN app and I’m disconnected every time?
I use ExpressVPN right now, I also play Pokémon Go(I know😂), and the game keeps freezing and not loading using ExpressVPN. I don’t care about spoofing/cheating, I just want to keep my web browsing more private/safer without Losing a ton of speed
Wish I saw this thread when it first started, looks like I missed the best Lifetime Unloxk pricing😩

US East, iPhone 14 Pro Max
It seems to keep disconnecting even without trying a Speedtest. Doesn’t stay connected longer than a few minutes. I’ll try another server
I just tested the East server and it stayed connected even with Speedest running on my 14 pro. Try a reinstall of the app. Make sure you don't have another VPN running at the same time.
Thanks. I’m in the US Middle right now. If that disconnects I’ll try a reinstall. Appreciate the quick help
The US Middle server did the same thing and a reinstall(rebooted phone between) didn’t help either. Any other recommendations?
I just tried again and this time I got disconnected. It appears that something with Speedtest is triggering the app to disconnect. Without using Speedtest, it is staying connected.
Mine seemed to disconnect while browsing, but maybe not. I’ll keep playing with it. So far I’m liking it though. Thanks again
So right now it says connected for 18 minutes, but I was watching a video and the video froze. When I swiped down the status bar did not show the VPN, I opened the app and it said Reconnecting for a bit until it did reconnect. So I didn’t need to reconnect, but it did disconnect without using the Speedtest.
Got it, I’ll try again. Hopefully it was the same issue but it disconnected completely again watching another video. Both times while on TwitterThat was just me right now changing the server configs
Thanks, appreciate the real time support😁👍
You're welcome!
I see, there's still lots to optimize. Reconnects may happen, though complete disconnects shouldn't. The speedtest issue may be really specific, as it happened with the app, but never in the browser on speedtest.net (at least for me).
Well since speed seems good, which was my main complaint with a lot of other VPNs I have tried, I’ll definitely keep trying it. And with top notch service like this I hope it’ll replace Express VPN for me
I've just bought in. Last couple days, only good experiences. Today, Apr 17, unusable. Disconnects, notifications saying I needed to login to the network again. iPad OS said I needed to buy premium package. Tried Restore Purchases and got nowhere. Deleted app, dowloaded again and able to proceed, but then disconnected.
Is stability expected soon?
I apologize for the issues today. Do you remember which version was installed prior deleting it?
For the outcome: I'll soon push another app update with newest OpenVPN libraries which should improve overall stability (as for the random disconnects). By the end of the week I'll enable obfuscation protocol. This should help circumvent some ISP restrictions as some have experienced. This will only need a app restart and reconnect, after that all should work again. I will announce exactly when I'll enable it.
After that I'll setup a TestFlight channel where interested users can test new features, so I can let productive system as it is and announce when changes are needed.
I'll look into the restore purchase issues though, that shouldn't be.
