PROXY for all your devices

Pick the device you’re installing VanyaPROXY on. If you’re not sure what your computer runs, start with “PROXY for PC”.

Before you install

I’m in Russia with an iPhone. Can I still get the app?

Most likely. Apple shows you the store for the region your account is registered in, wherever you are physically. Accounts from the US, Germany, Turkey or Kazakhstan, for instance, get VanyaPROXY as a regular download, and only the Russian store leaves it out. A Russian account will need TestFlight, linked from all apps, or a change of region. The iPhone guide covers both, though only in Russian.

My device isn’t listed. What now?

Then there’s no app for it. That’s the case with Samsung and LG TVs, and with browser extensions, which VanyaPROXY doesn’t make. A TV without Android TV can get by with an Android TV box, and a browser needs nothing extra once the app is running on the computer.

Is the desktop app different from the phone one?

Very little. The countries and settings are the same. Only on Android can you pick apps that skip the PROXY, and on a computer VanyaPROXY can start along with the system. On Windows and Linux it then starts in the tray, and on a Mac (the DMG version, macOS 13 or later) it opens at login, and its icon appears in the menu bar.
