Actually it’s not always that simple. Hello VPN never ever keeps user logs, as it believes in absolute user privacy and internet freedom. Although a lot of VPN companies claim to have such a motto, it is not always the case, because of the binding regulations and laws some VPN companies are subject to.\n\nThat’s right, some countries may be subject to regulations of intelligence alliances like The Five Eyes (FVEY), The Nine Eyes, and The Fourteen Eyes Alliances. Although there is nothing wrong with that, having a company headquarter based in alliance countries may result in an obligation to keep user logs on a regular basis, contrary to the promise made to you by some VPN or proxy server companies! \n\nFortunately there are still light-side of the force VPN and proxy server companies abiding by their word, hence keeping no user logs! As you may have already guessed, Hello VPN is one of them. Thanks to Hello VPN being an Estonia based VPN service, such binding regulations and laws are not applicable to Hello VPN.\n\nNo doubt there are many reasons to use a VPN or a proxy server e.g. ultimate privacy, boosting gaming performance by means of a stable connection, accessing services available for only specific locations, fast video streaming, WiFi security, anonymous browsing aka incognito mode etc. No matter the motivation behind, you are all set with Hello VPN! Variety of VPN servers are optimized for different use cases!\n\nDid Hello VPN begin to appeal to you? The word “Hello” stands as a way of greeting to the free internet, and the word VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. Keeping your private information private, and keeping prying eyes away is the essential goal of Hello VPN. \n\nHow does Hello VPN work? HelloVPN works by routing your Apple device’s connection through private servers of HelloVPN rather than your internet service provider (ISP) directly, so that when your data is sent to the internet, it comes from the HelloVPN servers. That’s right, HelloVPN creates a private tunnel from your device to the internet, and basically hides your data through encryption.\n\n“But what are the proxy servers?” is a frequently asked question to our customer support. A proxy server is also a system that provides a gateway between users and the internet. “What is the difference between a VPN and a proxy server then?” occurs to be a common follow-up question. The main difference between a VPN and a proxy server is encryption. VPNs hide all your web activity, such as all the apps you use, websites you visit, using encryption. Proxy servers on the other hand, will only change your IP address on a specific session or on a specific app, but they won’t encrypt all your online activities. In other words, a VPN secures all your network traffic, while a proxy server works on an application level. A proxy server is also relatively suitable for browsing the internet, but it’s not as safe and secure as a VPN.\n\n“Is Hello VPN free?” You can get your secure VPN connection completely free by watching in-app advertisements within Hello VPN’s basic mode. You can also upgrade to premium mode anytime to remove in-app ads, and also to access all the extra network features. \n\nAbout Hello VPN Premium Subscription:\n\n*The subscription covers VPN usage.\n*Hello VPN subscription period alternatives are 1 week, 1 month and 1 year. \n*Based on your plan every 1 week or 1 month or 1 year your VPN subscription renews. \n*Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at only your confirmation.\n*Hello VPN subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off.\n\nYou can cancel your Hello VPN subscription anytime via this URL:\nhttps://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039\n\nHello VPN’s terms of use can be found via this URL on Hello VPN’s official website:\nhttps://www.hellovpn.app/en/terms-of-use","facts":{"developer_id":1304487565,"developer_url":"https://www.hellovpn.app","first_released":"2018-01-25T20:32:16Z","support_url":null,"privacy_url":null,"website_url":null,"app_version":"15.7","release_notes":"Bug fixes","rating_current_version":4.47257,"rating_count_current_version":4211,"star_counts":null,"genres":["Productivity","Utilities"],"languages":["AR","EN","FR","ID","JA","KK","KO","PT","RU","ES","TR","UK"],"content_advisories":["Unrestricted Web Access"],"device_families":null,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-10-18T02:19:11.613Z","catalog_read_at":null,"reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":null,"placed_at":"2026-10-18T05:35:12.214Z","scored_at":"2026-10-20T17:28:13.749Z"},"editorial":null,"memberships":[{"list":"vpn","list_name":"vpn","list_status":"active","list_url":"https://apptierlist.com/best/vpn/","position":89,"tier":null,"score":76.3,"components":{"rating":80.5,"votes":76.2,"rank":48.6,"recency":100},"status":"active","review_status":"checked","list_ranking_status":"ranked","confidence":"normal","judged_at":"2026-10-18T05:35:12.214Z"}],"main_list":"vpn","claim":{"status":"none","verified":false,"site_url":null,"verified_via":null,"verified_domain":null},"history":[{"id":155666,"at":"2026-10-18T05:35:12.214Z","kind":"membership_added","list":"vpn","app_store_id":1304487566,"app":"hellovpn-vpn-proxy-1304487566","from":null,"to":"active","reason":"Described as a private and secure VPN service with a no-logs policy, Estonia based, offering privacy, WiFi security and access to location-restricted services.","job":"shadow"},{"id":150309,"at":"2026-10-18T02:19:11.613Z","kind":"app_added","list":null,"app_store_id":1304487566,"app":"hellovpn-vpn-proxy-1304487566","from":null,"to":null,"reason":"discovered","job":"import"}],"explain":{"method":"Membership is decided by a model judging the App Store listing against the list's definition (and its excludes, for memberships placed or rechecked since they were added to the prompt); every verdict is listed with its date; the score is a plain average of the public components an app has (four, plus Apple's Editors' Choice badge as 100 where shown); nothing is purchasable.","lists":[{"list":"vpn","list_name":"vpn","status":"active","review_status":"checked","position":89,"tier":null,"score":76.3,"components":{"rating":80.5,"votes":76.2,"rank":48.6,"recency":100},"ranks":[{"country":"us","rank":18}],"verdicts":[{"verdict":"keep","reason":"Described as a private and secure VPN service with a no-logs policy, Estonia based, offering privacy, WiFi security and access to location-restricted services.","verifier":"claude-sonnet-5-5","decided_at":"2026-10-18T05:35:12.214Z","attempts":1,"current":true},{"verdict":"keep","reason":"Its main purpose is a no-logs VPN service that hides the user's IP and secures their traffic.
