VyprVPN
Free trialA VPN with its own Chameleon protocol for blocked networks, apps for TVs and up to 10 devices at once.
Best for people on networks that block or throttle VPNs who want Chameleon alongside WireGuard in mainstream apps
Facts checked November 4, 2026 · First written by Mutuo Mbilla
The short answer
VyprVPN's main draw is Chameleon, its own protocol that scrambles OpenVPN metadata so deep packet inspection finds it harder to spot, and it is built into the Windows, macOS, Android and iOS apps. One account covers 10 connections at once, with apps for Apple TV, Android TV and Fire TV, and website sign-ups get a 30-day money-back guarantee. The weak spots are the no-log audit VyprVPN still links to, which is dated November 9, 2018, no kill switch on iOS or TV, and no IPv6 support. If you need more than 10 devices, Surfshark puts no limit on them.
Choose it if
- You live in or travel to a country that blocks or throttles VPN traffic and want Chameleon, which VyprVPN aims at users in China, Russia, Iran, Thailand and Syria
- Your household has up to 10 devices to protect, including an Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV or a second-generation or newer Fire TV
- You want split tunneling on Windows, macOS or Android so a banking or work app stays off the VPN
- Your business wants a VPN server it hosts itself: the Licensed Server Edition lets you register your own server and put it in your team's app
- You want to pay with UnionPay, PayPal, Google Pay or Apple Pay
Skip it if
- You want a recent independent audit: the no-log report VyprVPN links to is from November 9, 2018
- You mainly use an iPhone or a TV and need a kill switch, which VyprVPN offers only on Windows, macOS and Android
- You need more than 10 devices connected at once; Surfshark has no device limit
- You want to pay with cryptocurrency, which VyprVPN does not accept
- You want to try a VPN for free first; Windscribe has a free plan
Main features
Chameleon protocol
VyprVPN's own protocol keeps OpenVPN's 256-bit encryption but scrambles the packet metadata so deep packet inspection finds it harder to recognize. It works from any VyprVPN location and is built into the Windows, macOS, Android and iOS apps; VyprVPN lists Linux as well.
Smart IP
Turned on by default with Chameleon, it changes your server IP during a session without dropping the connection. It applies only at selected server locations.
WireGuard, OpenVPN and IKEv2
Besides Chameleon you can pick WireGuard for speed, OpenVPN for desktops, or IPsec/IKEv2 on platforms that support it. The TV app uses WireGuard by default.
Kill switch
Blocks all traffic when the VPN drops on Windows, macOS and Android. On Windows and macOS you can set it to system level so it keeps blocking even when the app is closed.
Connection Per App
VyprVPN's name for split tunneling: you choose which apps use the VPN and which go direct. It is available on Windows, macOS and Android.
VyprDNS
VyprVPN runs its own DNS service, says it keeps no logs, and switches it on in every app and plan. It aims to get around DNS-based censorship.
Public Wi-Fi protection
The apps can connect to the VPN on their own whenever you join a Wi-Fi network you have not marked as trusted.
TV apps
Apps for Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV (second generation or newer) connect to the nearest region or a server you pick and reconnect on their own. Kill switch and split tunneling are off on TV and you cannot change them.
Licensed Server for business
On the Licensed Server Edition, your team installs VyprVPN server software on your own server, registers it, and sees it in the app's location list. VyprVPN says a registered server has no limit on concurrent connections.
Pricing
Checked November 4, 2026. Business prices are in US dollars from VyprVPN's help center (updated April 15, 2026). VyprVPN's personal price page showed a bot check instead of prices, so personal plan prices are not listed here. Personal plans come monthly or yearly and include 10 simultaneous connections and VyprDNS; the offer page says "Save 44%" without saying against what. VyprVPN bills in US dollars, pounds or euros.
Business Professional Edition
$55 / month
VyprVPN for a team with user roles and licenses you assign; also $329.99 a year
Business Licensed Server Edition

One more business user on either edition; $65 a year, with 15% off all licenses over 100
Extra Licensed Server

Questions people ask
Does VyprVPN have a free trial?
Only through the app stores. Subscriptions bought in the Apple App Store or Google Play start with a 3-day free trial, but they are not covered by the money-back guarantee. Sign up on VyprVPN's website instead and you get 30 days to ask for a full refund.
How many devices can I use with VyprVPN?
VyprVPN's help center says an account supports up to 10 simultaneous connections. Business accounts work per user license instead, and a Licensed Server you host has no limit on concurrent connections.
Who owns VyprVPN?
Certida, LLC, which VyprVPN's help center says runs its corporate headquarters in Texas. VyprVPN was built by Golden Frog, a Swiss company, and Certida says it has worked with Golden Frog's founders for many years.
Has VyprVPN's no-log policy been audited?
VyprVPN publishes one: a no-log assessment by Leviathan Security Group, with a final report dated November 9, 2018. Its site does not name a more recent audit.
Does VyprVPN work in China?
VyprVPN built Chameleon for restrictive countries and names China first in its list, and its help center has a whole section on using VyprVPN in China and other restricted countries. No VPN can promise to keep working there, so test it inside the 30-day refund window.
Does VyprVPN work with Netflix and other streaming services?
VyprVPN lists high-speed streaming as a feature, but its help center warns that some services may still say you are out of their area even on the right country's server. Treat streaming as something to test during the refund window.
Does VyprVPN support IPv6?
No. VyprVPN's help center says it routes VPN connections over IPv4 only, so your network needs to allow IPv4.
Can I pay for VyprVPN with crypto?
No. VyprVPN takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, UnionPay, PayPal, Google Pay and Apple Pay, and bills in US dollars, pounds or euros. It says it does not accept cryptocurrency at the moment.
