Regular VPN
The main route for Telegram, YouTube, news, international websites, and everyday access.
Setup guide
Connect Svoboda in our app
Install the Svoboda client first, then create a personal account without a phone number or email. Updated apps receive access from the account with one action; the Telegram bot remains an alternative.
Android on Google Play
The official release is live; the signed APK remains available as a fallback.
iOS via TestFlight
The public beta is available through a direct TestFlight link.
Access under your control
The account works without a phone number, email, or mandatory Telegram link.
Two devices
Use your personal link only on your own devices.
Quick start
Three connection steps
This is the main path for new Svoboda users. Older third-party Android clients are no longer the primary route.
1. Install the app
Android: install Svoboda from Google Play or use the APK as a fallback. iPhone: open the public TestFlight link.
2. Create your account
Open the personal account and pay by card, TON, or USDT on TON. Stars and auto-renewal remain in the bot.
3. Send access and connect
In an updated client, open Access and Support, sign in, and choose Open in app. Older builds can still import the link manually.
4. Keep it private
The APK can be shared. Your subscription URL must not be posted publicly.
Routes
Regular VPN and Russia route
One personal subscription can show multiple routes in the app. Choose the route by task instead of changing manual settings.
Russia route
A separate RU route in paid subscriptions for Russian government services, personal accounts, work portals, and sites that restrict foreign IP addresses.
This is a normal Russian-IP route for Russian websites and personal accounts. It does not promise that banking, marketplace, or bailiff-service apps will always open.
Apps
Install Svoboda first
The app does not contain credentials. Access is issued separately, after purchase, gift activation, promo code, or existing subscription check.
Google Play
Svoboda for Android
Install the official client from Google Play. After the update reaches Google Play, open Access and Support; until then, import the link manually.
Google Play available
Automatic updates
arm64 + armv7
APK fallback
- Open Svoboda in Google Play and install it.
- If Google Play is unavailable, download the signed APK directly.
- Open Access and Support, or import the subscription URL from the account or bot.
- Tap Import Subscription, then Connect and allow Android VPN permission.
The Google Play app and the earlier direct APK use different package names. If the APK already works, keep it until you have moved your access link into the Play app.
iOS TestFlight
Svoboda for iPhone
The iOS client is available through a public TestFlight beta. Open the link on iPhone, install TestFlight if needed, and then install Svoboda.
Public TestFlight beta
iPhone
Access link separate
- Install TestFlight from the App Store if it is not installed yet.
- Open the public TestFlight link and install Svoboda.
- Open the personal account in the app, or get the link in the bot.
- Send access to Svoboda, import the subscription, and allow the VPN configuration.
Personal account
Access without Telegram
Create a pseudonymous account, pay, and save the recovery code. In an updated client, Open in app transfers the subscription without manual copying.
Telegram bot
Where to get the link
/subscription
Shows the current subscription, or says that you do not have an active subscription yet.
/buy_ru
Russia: Stars, crypto, or free access when available.
/buy
Outside Russia: card, Stars, and crypto payment paths.
After import
What appears in the app
The app shows available Svoboda routes for your access profile. In paid subscriptions, everyday access appears as Regular VPN, and the separate RU route appears as Russia route.
- Choose a route and tap Connect.
- If the link is lost, recover the account with its recovery code or use /subscription in the bot.
- Do not paste a friend's subscription URL into your device.
Check
Confirm that VPN is working
After Connect, open a browser and check the visible IP. It should match the selected Svoboda route, not your mobile operator or home ISP.
Disconnect
Turn it off cleanly
After Disconnect, Android removes the VPN tunnel. If Android still shows the VPN key icon, open the app and disconnect again.
Russian apps
Apps and anti-fraud may react to VPN
What truly matters: we process only the minimum data needed for access, payment, and support. We do not sell data, store traffic content, or keep a history of websites you visit. Russia route replaces the IP address for Russian websites, but it does not make the device invisible to the apps themselves. We cannot promise that marketplace, banking, or bailiff-service apps will always open, but we do everything possible so our services and servers work better than anything else you have used before.
Other platforms
Desktop and fallback options
Use these options for computers, TV, or a temporary fallback while the mobile client is unavailable.
Windows
Svoboda for Windows
The corrected native client is available through Microsoft Store. v2rayN remains a fallback when Store installation is unavailable.
macOS
Svoboda Direct
Our signed and notarized client for macOS 12+, Intel and Apple Silicon. The current build receives access from the personal account; manual link import remains available.
Linux
Svoboda for Linux beta
Our client with five protocols and a system TUN. Packages are available for x86_64 and ARM64; extract one and run sudo ./install.sh.
iPhone fallback
If TestFlight is unavailable
You can temporarily use a third-party iOS client with personal subscription import.
Android TV
TV fallback
For set-top boxes and shared screens while there is no Svoboda TV client.
Help
If it does not connect
Email support@svoboda.digital or open support in the Telegram bot. Do not send recovery codes or subscription URLs to public chats.
Security
The APK can be shared; the subscription URL must stay private
The APK does not contain personal keys. The subscription link belongs to a specific access profile, so do not publish it in a group chat or forward it as a public link.
