Install from Google Play, sign in, tap Connect. Iranian banking apps, shops and bill payments work on your phone from anywhere in the world — free to start.
Store-verified and updated automatically. Get it on Google Play →
Connect first, then open your Iranian bank's app — it sees a domestic IP and behaves normally. Banking guide →
Only Iranian traffic goes through the tunnel; everything else keeps full speed and your battery stays happy.
Search "Iran IP VPN" or use the direct link.
Sign in with Google or Apple — the free plan starts instantly, no card needed.
Tap Connect and accept Android's VPN permission prompt. You now browse with a real Iranian IP.
Battery optimizers on some phones (especially aggressive OEM ones) kill background VPNs. Exclude Iran IP VPN from battery optimization in Settings → Apps, and it will stay connected.
Force-close that app and reopen it while the VPN is connected — many apps cache their network check from launch. If it persists, message support on Telegram.
The same sign-in works on Windows, macOS and Linux, and on iPhone too. Premium bought on your phone covers your PC too.
The same app installs on Android TV and Google TV from the same Play listing, so Filimo, Namava and Telewebion can play on the television instead of the phone. See Iran VPN for Android TV.
This is the most common Android complaint, and it is almost always battery optimisation rather than the VPN. Android suspends background apps aggressively to save power, and a suspended VPN client drops its tunnel.
Open Settings → Apps → Iran IP VPN → Battery and set it to Unrestricted. On Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei and OnePlus phones there is usually a second, manufacturer-specific list as well — look for “Battery optimisation”, “Protected apps”, “Auto-start” or “Sleeping apps” and allow Iran IP VPN there too. Phones from those makers are the ones people most often report background disconnects on.
If you want the tunnel up before anything else touches the network, Android has this built in. Go to Settings → Network & internet → VPN, tap the gear next to Iran IP VPN, and turn on Always-on VPN.
The switch underneath it, Block connections without VPN, is worth understanding before you enable it: with it on, if the VPN cannot connect, the phone has no internet at all rather than slower internet. That is the point of it — nothing leaks out on your real IP — but it will look like a broken phone if you forget you turned it on.
Use Google Play if you can reach it: it installs and updates automatically. The direct APK on our download page exists for phones that cannot reach Play at all. It is a universal build covering every processor type, so it is a large download — around 286 MB — and you update it by downloading it again yourself. Both are the same app and the same account.
Once you are connected, Iranian banking apps open — but they still send their one-time passwords by SMS to your Iranian number, and SMS travels over the mobile network rather than the internet, so no VPN can deliver it. If you no longer carry that SIM, read dynamic passwords without an Iranian SIM, which sets out the five routes that actually work. A dual-SIM Android phone is the easiest of them, which is one practical advantage Android has here.
From Google Play — search for Iran IP VPN or use the install link on this page. Sign in with Google or Apple and the free plan starts immediately.
Yes. Connect the VPN first, then open your bank's Android app — its traffic exits through an Iranian IP, the same as the bank's website. SMS one-time codes still go to the Iranian number your bank has on file. Details in the banking guide.
Smart routing sends only the traffic that needs an Iranian IP through the VPN, so your other apps keep their direct connection and full speed. The app is built to be light on battery.
Yes — the free plan is supported by ads and needs no card. Premium removes ads and unlocks unlimited data and the fastest servers; one subscription covers Android, Windows, macOS and Linux.
Free on Google Play. Encrypted, no activity logs, connected in under a minute.
