un/braid

Every app, its own exit.

un/braid sends each Android app through a different VPN exit, at the same time, even through different providers. Your banking app stays direct, YouTube leaves from New York, everything else from Amsterdam.

Bring your own VPN. Use a subscription you already have, or your own server. un/braid provides no VPN servers.

Five screens. That’s the whole app.

    A default for everything. Exceptions where you want them.

    Send all your apps through one exit, then move the ones you choose somewhere else. Each route can use a different provider: here Proton VPN for the Netherlands, NordVPN for the United States and Italy.

Several providers. At the same time.

Some apps through NordVPN, others through Mullvad or Proton VPN, a streaming app through your router at home. Every route picks its own provider.
