iTop VPN is a virtual private network client from iTop Inc. It routes a device’s internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel to a remote server. Websites and networks then see the server’s IP address and location instead of the user’s own. It runs on Windows (including ARM-based PCs), macOS, iOS, iPadOS and Android. A free account is available with a daily data allowance and a small set of servers, and a VIP subscription opens the full server network and the paid features.
Connecting and choosing a server
The main window of iTop VPN centers on a single Connect button. Pressing it uses Smart Location, which picks a server automatically. Once the tunnel is up, the app shows the virtual IP and location now in use. A Change option switches location without starting over.
For manual selection, the All Servers list groups locations by region. Users can star servers into a Favorites list. They can also search servers by name and sort them by recommendation, name, distance or latency. The vendor gives the network as more than 3,200 servers in over 100 locations.
Servers for streaming, games and downloads
Beyond ordinary locations, iTop VPN keeps dedicated server groups labeled for downloading, streaming, social apps and gaming. The Android app lists gaming servers aimed at titles such as PUBG, Mobile Legends, Free Fire and BGMI. A Double VPN group sends traffic through two servers in sequence. This encrypts the connection twice before it reaches the internet.
Quick Access on the desktop clients turns common goals into one-click connections. Shortcuts such as Hide Location, Watch Netflix, Watch Disney+, Unlock WhatsApp, Unblock ChatGPT or Play on Roblox connect straight to a server suited to that service.
Protocols and connection behavior
iTop VPN can choose a protocol automatically or let the user set it manually. The Windows client offers TCP, UDP and HTTPS. The Mac client offers TCP, UDP and HTTP, and the Android app offers TCP and UDP. Traffic is encrypted with AES-256.
Auto Connect and Launch on Startup bring the tunnel up when the system starts. This covers background and system traffic from boot rather than only after the user opens the app.
Leak protection and split tunneling
The Advanced VPN settings in iTop VPN group several controls that decide what happens to traffic outside the tunnel:
- Kill Switch blocks internet access if the VPN connection drops, so the real IP address is not exposed while the app reconnects.
- DNS Protection and IPv6 Protection keep domain lookups and IPv6 traffic from bypassing the tunnel. WebRTC leak protection stops browsers from revealing the real address.
- Split Tunneling lets the user select which apps use the VPN; everything else connects to the internet directly.
- Shrink MTU Size reduces packet size, which can help on networks where larger VPN packets fail.
IP address options
By default iTop VPN can assign a dynamic IP that changes with each reconnection or a static one that stays the same. A Keep IP Changing mode, called Super Stealth, rotates the address repeatedly during a browsing session. Because the address keeps moving, it is not suited to streaming or online games. A dedicated IP is an address reserved for one user in a limited set of countries such as the US, UK, Canada and Germany. It attracts fewer CAPTCHA prompts and blocks than shared addresses and is sold separately from the standard VIP subscription.
Ad blocking and privacy tools
Ads Block, found among the Advanced VPN settings on Windows, filters ads, pop-ups and trackers at the network and app level. iTop VPN includes several other privacy tools:
- Dark Web Monitor checks dark web sources for a leaked email address, phone number or similar data and alerts the user when a match appears.
- iTop Password generates passwords and stores and fills usernames, passwords and payment details.
- Browser Privacy clears browser cache, history, download history and cookies immediately or on a schedule.
The Mac version adds a System Security scan that looks for malware, suspicious cookies and system risks.
Free and VIP accounts
A free iTop VPN account can connect only to a handful of free servers. It has a small daily data cap, and the allowance refreshes daily. On Android, protocol choice, split tunneling and Smart Location remain available on every account type. VIP removes the data cap, unlocks all servers including the dedicated streaming, gaming and Double VPN groups, and enables the VIP-only features. One subscription covers several devices across all supported platforms. The Android app also offers a short trial with full server access. No license key is involved: signing in with the email used for the order upgrades the account automatically.
On logging, iTop VPN states that it records no activity or identifying metadata and runs RAM-only servers that clear their data on every reboot.
