SuperVPN 3.1.6 for Android

SuperVPN 3.1.6 is a free VPN app for Android listed under the developer name Jinrong Zheng. You can download SuperVPN for Android to route your phone's traffic through the service's servers with one tap, but it is worth knowing who it suits before trusting it with your connection.

What the app does

Like any VPN, SuperVPN creates an encrypted tunnel from your phone to a remote server. Apps and websites then see that server's address instead of yours, and your mobile operator or the owner of a public Wi-Fi network no longer sees which sites you open. Free one-tap VPN apps are popular for reaching sites that are blocked locally and for a bit more privacy on public networks. They are also a business: somebody pays for the servers, and with free apps that usually means ads, speed limits or data collection. Our data contains no official website, no privacy policy and no company information for SuperVPN, so there is no way to check who runs the servers. For a tool that sees all your traffic, that is the key fact to weigh.

Who it may suit

• People who want to open a blocked news site or video now and then.
• Users testing how a VPN changes their visible location, with nothing sensitive at stake.

Who should choose another VPN

• Anyone who logs in to banking, work or email over the VPN.
• Journalists, activists and others who need a provider they can trust.
• People who need stable speed for calls or streaming.

How to install it

1. Install it only from Google Play, where you can see the developer name and reviews; avoid APK copies.
2. Open the app and tap connect.
3. Accept Android's VPN connection request; a key icon appears in the status bar.
4. Disconnect when you do not need it, to save battery and data.

Requirements

An Android device with internet access. The package is about 14.10 MB according to catalogue data.

Privacy and safety

Check the permissions the app asks for; a VPN has no reason to read contacts or SMS. Keep sensitive logins for a trusted connection, and uninstall the app if ads become intrusive or it behaves oddly.

If it does not connect

Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, pick another server and try again. Only one VPN can be active on Android at a time, so turn off any other VPN or ad-blocking app that uses the VPN slot. Networks at schools and offices sometimes block VPN traffic entirely.

Price

SuperVPN is listed as free. Paid upgrades offered inside free VPN apps deserve the same scrutiny as the free part.
