Hello Product Hunters! We're excited to unveil the completely redesigned ClearVPN with an elegant one-tap interface for secure online journeys. At MacPaw, we build software that empowers people's digital lives. With this redesign, ClearVPN exemplifies that vision by offering a private and secure online experience through a beautifully crafted app. We've transformed ClearVPN's interface to match the simplicity users enjoy in our other apps like CleanMyMac and CleanMy®Phone. Now with just a single tap, you can activate a VPN connection optimized for your needs — whether it's private browsing, streaming global content libraries, or safely using public WiFi hotspots. Since russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, we've offered a free premium version to all Ukrainians globally and in occupied territories, ensuring secure access to trusted information sources. Our expertise in safeguarding digital privacy proved vital during this time of crisis. Give the new ClearVPN a try, and let us know what you think!

@thebigk Thank you for your question! A key advantage we have is our deep expertise in protecting personal data and digital privacy, especially in challenging situations like the ongoing war in Ukraine. Since the Russian invasion in 2022, we've provided a free premium ClearVPN version to all Ukrainians globally and in occupied territories to ensure secure access to trusted information sources. Our team at MacPaw has firsthand experience safeguarding online privacy during wartime, which has been vital in developing ClearVPN's robust security features like a strict no-log policy and industry-leading AES-256 encryption. We have absolutely no access to users' browsing data or online activities. We also have a dedicated R&D team actively testing cutting-edge VPN technologies like quantum encryption and advanced bypass methods to circumvent internet censorship, even in heavily restricted regions. Our goal is to stay ahead of the curve in online privacy protection. Thank you for checking out ClearVPN 🙌

@frank_denbow Wow, thank you for such a thorough review our product page, Frank! We are definitely taking some of your ideas to our backlog ✍️ In a crowded VPN market, we wanted ClearVPN's killer feature to be its elegant simplicity and effortless user experience. At MacPaw, we believe that digital privacy is a fundamental human right that should be accessible to everyone, regardless of technical skill level. That's why we've designed ClearVPN with an intuitive one-tap interface. With just a single tap, you activate robust encryption protocols and connect to the optimal server for your needs. Our goal is to make online privacy an effortless daily habit, just like brushing your teeth. We've integrated ClearVPN across devices with iOS widgets, Siri Shortcuts, and a dedicated ad-blocker for secure browsing. No complex menus or settings to navigate — just tap and go. You don't need to be a power user to simply enjoy a private internet experience with ClearVPN 👌

Hi Product Hunters! The redesigned ClearVPN by MacPaw brings a seamless VPN experience powered by intelligent algorithms that automatically connect you to the optimal server for your needs. We’ve packed in great new features like iOS widgets for instant VPN activation, Siri Shortcuts to automate connections, and ClearWeb — an ad-blocking extension for secure Chrome browsing. Under the hood, ClearVPN leverages our advanced “Optimal Location” technology to analyze factors like your location, server proximity, load, and service availability to pick the fastest server for any scenario. We’ve also expanded our global infrastructure to deliver lightning-fast speeds across nearly 45+ country locations. ClearVPN provides top-tier security with AES-256 encryption and sophisticated VPN protocols that protect your browsing histories and IP addresses from snooping. We also maintain a strict no-log policy, ensuring your data stays private at all times. Our goal is to unify MacPaw’s product suite with a cohesive, user-centric design that makes online privacy and access just one tap away. We’re excited to hear your feedback as we continue enhancing ClearVPN!

@acrist7 how does this compare to other VPNs e.g. Nord? I've seen so many of these and I'm never sure what the important factors to consider are. Can you break it down for us?

@agorbatko Thank you for your support, Alyona 🫶 ClearVPN utilizes robust industry standards like OpenVPN and IKEv2 to secure your internet connections with strong encryption like AES-256. This ensures your online traffic and data remain completely private. OpenVPN provides a high level of security and encryption, while IKEv2 is known for being fast and reliable, especially on mobile devices. With top-tier encryption protocols, ClearVPN keeps you safe and anonymous during all your online activities.

Congrats @acrist7 and the MacPaw team on the launch. I have been using ExpressVPN but have noticed some issues when using with streaming services. I have massive appreciation for teams that make the effort to make their products visually appealing, easy to use - and ClearVPN is this in spades 🤩! Might just have found the alternative to Express that I was looking for!!

Congrats on the launch! Integrating user-friendly features like iOS widgets and Siri Shortcuts with robust security measures, I'm curious about how it maintains this balance. Also, how does its “Optimal Location” technology ensure the best connection speeds for users globally? This approach seems to redefine what we expect from VPN services.
Eugene Kalnyk

@anastasia_chakileva_ Thank you for your support, Anastasia 🤗 ClearVPN's "Optimal Location" technology is an intelligent algorithm that analyzes multiple factors to automatically connect you to the fastest and most optimal server for your needs. It takes into account your current geographic location, proximity and distance to available VPN server locations, server load levels, and overall service performance and availability across our global server infrastructure. By crunching all this real-time data, the "Optimal Location" feature can dynamically route your VPN connection through the best possible server. This ensures you get lightning-fast speeds and a seamless browsing experience, no matter where you are connecting from. Manual selection of a desired country is also possible, by the way 👌
