VPN
The VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between your Android device and Stealth's servers, protecting all your internet traffic from surveillance and interception. Once connected, your real IP address is hidden and replaced with one from our server network.
Quick Start
Launch the app from your home screen or app drawer
Hit the big Connect button in the center of the screen
Allow VPN permission when Android prompts you (first time only)
Status changes to "Connected" and shield turns purple - you're invisible
How It Works
Encryption
Your data is encrypted using ChaCha20-Poly1305 before leaving your device - military-grade protection for all your traffic.
Tunneling
Traffic flows through the WireGuard protocol to our servers. Your ISP only sees encrypted data going to one destination.
IP Masking
Your real IP address is hidden and replaced with one from our server network. Websites see our IP, not yours.
Complete Privacy
No one can see which websites you visit, what data you send, or what services you use - not your ISP, not network admins, not anyone.
