What's New

Reliable updates and self-repairing VPN service

• Fixed an update that could leave the VPN service unregistered, so the app reported it could not communicate with the helper until P4PN was reinstalled.
• P4PN now detects an unresponsive VPN service on launch and offers to repair it.
• A failed installation is reported instead of silently completing.
• Clearer message when the VPN service is not running.

Enhanced server selection

• The server picker now measures real reachability and speed to each server and ranks them, so the best connection for you is at the top.

Miscellaneous Fixes

• Refreshing the server list is now lighter and more predictable — it updates when you open the server picker (if it is more than 10 minutes old) and whenever you refresh manually.
• The app always prefers the primary connection address and only falls back to alternates, in a fixed order, when it must.
• Removed an unnecessary delay, so server requests respond faster.
• Connection diagnostics now show the same signal strength and load you see in the server picker.
• Minor display and stability fixes.

Offline config implemented

• Connect without reaching our site: import a profile file (.p4pn or .ovpn) that we send you by email or you saved earlier — it works even when the website and login are blocked.
• Import in any convenient way: Settings > Import Profile, drag the file onto the P4PN window, or simply double-click it.
• Servers from the file appear in the usual server picker, with latency and accessibility measured from your own network.
• If the chosen server fails, the app automatically tries the other servers from the file.
• The imported profile is remembered across restarts until you dismiss it with one click.
• Improved connection diagnostics: the app now reports the full connection story, so support can see what went wrong without asking you for logs.

Server selection and redundancy

• New server picker: every location with its latency, load, and how well your own connection reaches it.
• The server button now names the country in use, and the server you pick stays for the session.
• Servers your network cannot reach are ranked down automatically, so the top of the list is always the best one for you.
• Locations known to be censored are marked, and confirmed before use.
• Connecting starts from the saved server list instead of waiting on a network request first.
• If our main address is blocked, the app now reaches the API through the VPN servers themselves — several routes are tried at once and the fastest one wins.
• Update checks and downloads travel that same path, so updating keeps working when the website is unreachable.
• Downloaded installers are verified by their Apple signature before anything is installed.

Choose sites to send only through the VPN

• This is the opposite of the bypass list. Instead of picking the sites that skip the VPN, you pick the only sites that should go through it — and everything else uses your normal connection. It's handy when you just need the VPN for a few specific sites and want the rest of your traffic to stay fast and direct.
• Add your own sites, or load our ready-made list. Your choices take effect the next time you connect.

Choose sites to skip the VPN

• Some sites — like banks or government portals — work best on your normal connection. Now you can choose which sites open without the VPN: add your own, or load our ready-made list. Everything else stays protected.
• Your choices take effect the next time you connect.
