Asked plainly, answered plainly.

Yes. NetCloak has no account at all: no email, no password, no sign-up screen. Install it from Google Play, choose a mode and tap connect. The only things that identify a session are a random key and a short-lived anonymous token, both deleted when it ends.

NetCloak never asks you to log in, because there is nothing to log in to. Other free VPNs that advertise no sign-up usually still create an account behind the scenes, with an email, a username, or an account number. NetCloak creates none.

NetCloak is one. Every connection is a WireGuard® tunnel built with the official Android tunnel library, and the app arranges the key, the address and the server for you, so you never touch a configuration file or a QR code.

Yes, on Android 8.0 or later. The official WireGuard app needs a configuration from a server you already have. NetCloak includes the server and the configuration, so it works on its own.

The WireGuard protocol and its software are free and open source. NetCloak, which is built on them, is free as well and is paid for by rewarded video ads, not by you.

We do not use the phrase, because every VPN keeps something while you are connected. What NetCloak keeps is short: a session record deleted when the session ends, and operational logs with your IP address for up to two days. We cannot read what goes through the tunnel and we do not log the sites you visit. The full list is on the transparency page.

NetCloak costs nothing to install or use. It is paid for by rewarded video ads, which you watch to extend a session, and the limit is time: 80, 40 or 20 minutes per block depending on the mode, up to three hours in one stretch. There is no paid tier.

Trust what a VPN keeps, not what it promises. Read the list of what NetCloak stores, how long each item lives, and who else touches data, on the transparency page. If a free VPN will not give you that list, that is your answer.

The usual ones are hidden logging, traffic sold to advertisers, and apps that inject ads or trackers into your browsing. NetCloak keeps no browsing logs, cannot read the tunnel, and shows ads only inside the app through Google AdMob, never inside your traffic. The remaining risk is the one every VPN has: you are trusting the operator instead of your network. We try to earn that by saying exactly what we keep.

WireGuard is not post-quantum secure by default, its traffic has a recognisable shape so a network can tell a VPN is in use, and it runs only over UDP, which some networks block. Against that, it is faster, connects in a fraction of a second, uses less battery, and has far less code to audit than older protocols.

Android has a built-in VPN client for a few enterprise protocols, and a VPN service API that apps use. It does not include a VPN server, so there is nothing to connect to without an app and a provider. NetCloak supplies both.

No. Using a VPN is legal in the United States, Canada, the European Union and most countries. A few countries restrict or ban them; NetCloak is not distributed in those. What you do through a VPN is subject to the same laws as what you do without one.

Because one is what the service needs today, and saying so is better than inventing “locations”. It is in New York, and users in the Americas and Europe reach it with reasonable latency. A second server will come when usage calls for it, and this page will say where.

The app warns you when 15% of the session remains and again at 5%, and offers an extension. If you let the clock run out, the app disconnects about thirty seconds before the server ends the session, so you are not cut off mid-transfer. Reconnecting starts a fresh session.

Android will not let any app route the device’s traffic without your explicit permission, which is the dialog you see on first connect. NetCloak uses it to send traffic through the encrypted tunnel and for nothing else. The permission can be revoked at any time in Android’s VPN settings.

Because we want to be able to say plainly who the service is for. NetCloak is an ad-supported product with a rewarded-video model, and we chose not to design it for children. The terms of use state the requirement, and the app confirms it on first launch.
