1. How to use the Main Screen of VPN Unlimited for iPhone

We shall start off with the main screen of our VPN for iOS. Tapping on the Start button you can establish connection to a VPN server.

Connecting to a VPN server for the first time, you will be requested to allow adding VPN configurations and downloading a VPN profile on your iPhone. In order to proceed, please select Allow for the security requests and install the profile.

In the middle of the screen, there is a world map where you can view both your real and virtual IP addresses. By tapping on your Real IP or Virtual IP you can view your internet connection type, actual IP address, country and city. 

Note that you also can connect to a server just by selecting it on the map and tapping on the power button.

The icon of the main screen of our VPN on your iPhone leads to the Notifications tab. Here you can check our latest deals and discounts.

At the bottom of the main screen you can view the server which you are connected to. You can tap on it and choose another one on the Locations screen on your iPhone. 

2. How to use the Locations Screen of VPN Unlimited for iPhone

Via the bottom bar of the Locations screen on your iPhone you can navigate to the following tabs:

• Favorites: This is your personal list of preferred VPN servers on iOS. To add a server to your Favorites, just click on the star icon next to the desired location name. On this tab you can also choose the Optimal server option. This option will automatically select a server that should provide the best performance on your iPhone device.  
  
  
• General: Choose which servers will be presented here by selecting either All or Recommended server locations. The Recommended list will include the VPN servers that will let you enjoy better performance on your iPhone device. If you select All, you’ll see the full list of server locations, except streamings.
  
  Under each VPN server you can see its workload. The higher it is, the more users are simultaneously connected to the server. So, it is recommended to choose servers with a lower workload.
  
  
• Streaming: The list includes VPN servers specially designed to give you access to such streaming services as Disney+, BBC iPlayer, Hulu, US Netflix, ESPN+, HBO Now, and more.
  
  Here’s the list of streaming servers and the services they unblock: 
  
  • Movies & TV: Disney+, HBO Now, Hulu, Netflix, Popcornflix, Sony Crackle
  • UK-South (Movies & TV): BBC iPlayer
  • India (Movies & TV): Hotstar
  • Italy (Movies & TV): Rai.tv

KeepSolid VPN Unlimited for iOS has servers specially designed for P2P download. You can find the list of such torrent-friendly servers below: 

• Canada-Ontario
• Romania 
• France (Paris) 

Connect to any of them and enjoy safe and anonymous torrents download!

To find the desired server you can type the required location in the Search field or scroll down the servers list. 

Tapping on the button in the top left corner you can run a Ping Test on your iPhone. The test estimates how long it takes for your device to transmit information to our VPN servers. With its results, you can make a more informed choice of a VPN server location. The lower the ping, the better your connection speed will be.

Note: The ping test cannot be started while VPN connection is activated, as its results will be misleading. To run the test, you'll need to disconnect from a VPN server.
