BUILT FOR ANDROID

Everything Android users need, nothing they don't.

WireGuard Protocol
The fastest, most modern VPN protocol β€” built into the Linux kernel since 5.6. Handshakes complete in under 100ms on most Android devices.
πŸ”€
Per-App Split Tunneling
Choose which apps route through the VPN. Stream through the tunnel, keep banking apps on your direct connection.
πŸ”’
Always-On Kill Switch
Android's built-in VPN lockdown mode ensures no traffic leaks if HorizonVPN disconnects β€” even during network switches.
πŸ›‘
DNS Leak Protection
All DNS queries go through encrypted channels. No ISP snooping, no ad-network tracking via DNS.
πŸ””
Quick Settings Tile
Add HorizonVPN to your Android Quick Settings panel. Connect or disconnect with a single pull-down.
πŸŒ™
Battery Efficient
WireGuard's lightweight design uses significantly less battery than OpenVPN or IKEv2 β€” ideal for all-day mobile use.
SPLIT TUNNELING

Route by app. Not by network.

HorizonVPN's per-app split tunneling lets you choose exactly which apps use the VPN. Stream content through the VPN while keeping sensitive apps on your direct connection.
