boltvpn.io for Android

Private connections and useful controls, on your phone and tablet.

Android 8.0+v0.6.0-beta15.0 MB
Download Android beta
Development beta · Device testing pending
Install & release details

New in 0.4.0: a rebuilt Connect, Locations and Account experience, a compact animated connection indicator, and light/dark appearance. Protection is confirmed after the VPN handshake.

  1. Download the APK on your phone and allow installation from your browser.
  2. Open boltvpn.io. Sign in with email or Google, or choose Explore app for an account-free preview.
  3. Tap Connect and approve Android’s VPN permission. The moving ring settles when the connection is verified.

Updating an older test build? This release uses the existing permanent signing certificate, so current signed beta installations update normally. Very early preview builds used a different certificate. If Android says the app conflicts with an existing package, disconnect and uninstall the older BoltVPN app, then install this download and sign in again. Uninstalling clears this device’s saved settings; your account and plan remain.

Includes connect on app launch and per-app split tunneling. Updates retain the existing signing identity. This is a direct-download beta, not a Google Play release.
