The catalogue snapshot includes 5 enabled profiles labelled South Africa. Listed cities: Johannesburg, ZA Streaming Optimized. These are app labels, not an independent verification of physical hosting or successful traffic.
App-listed location labels
City names describe labels in the app's catalogue. Some profiles use virtual locations. Check the exit country with more than one IP lookup if the country matters for your task.
No app registration
An email account is not required to connect in the app. Device identifiers still help restore balances, manage rewards and prevent abuse; no registration does not mean no data processing.
Understand the privacy settings
The app processes device identifiers, time and referral records, connection diagnostics and support information to operate the service. Advertising and Firebase services have their own data practices. Read the Privacy Policy and use the app's advertising privacy controls.
Check in the app
The app provides a daily VPN allowance. Optional rewarded videos, referrals and eligible in-app rewards can add time. Check your balance and the current reward terms in the app; installing it does not automatically give unlimited connection time.

Check current locations
Locations, providers and profiles can change. Use the latest list in the app. A listed location is not a promise that a profile will connect on every network or that every website will accept its exit IP.
Choose a suitable connection
Speed and connection time depend on your network, server load and the route. Test a nearby location for everyday browsing. If traffic does not work, disconnect and try another listed profile.
OpenVPN connections
The current app uses OpenVPN. Encryption and connection options depend on the selected server profile. The app does not currently offer WireGuard or IKEv2.

Choose and connect

Verify the result
Check the exit IP and country. If the result is wrong or traffic stops, try another profile and repeat the check. A connected status alone is not proof of working internet traffic.

Load-shedding (electricity issues) has impacted infrastructure but data-center backup ensures VPN reliability.
