Hello everyone
Today, we’re introducing a new version of the profiles feature on Android devices, allowing you to easily connect to specific VPN presets depending on your needs.
Using connection profiles on Android will allow you to define:
- The country/city /server you want to connect to
- The connection type (Standard, Secure Core, P2P)
- The VPN Protocol (OpenVPN, WireGuard, Stealth)
- Enable/disable Secure Core, NetShield, DNS filtering, and define NAT type.
We’re also introducing an Android-exclusive (for now) feature, allowing you to auto-launch a website upon connection. Simply toggle the feature on and define the URL, which will be opened via your device’s default browser upon connection.
You can learn more about this feature and connection profiles on Android here.
Please note that these updates only apply to users on paid plans.
We’ll be back later today with more updates, but until then, stay safe.

What is the use case for the webpage auto-launch?
Could you add a safe home wifi feature?
I have wire guard configured at the router level, so it would be great if the phone VPN would disconnect when I’m home, and reconnect when I’m on mobile or an untrusted network.
