What works on iPad

What works on iPad

Shortcuts and Siri
Connect and disconnect from the Shortcuts app, or by asking Siri.
Same account as iPhone
Premium bought on one Apple device works on the others. See Restore on a new device.
Kill switch
With “route all apps” on, iPadOS blocks traffic outside the tunnel while ForestVPN is connected. It gives no way to stop every single packet, so this is not absolute.

Not on iPad yet: split tunneling, choosing which apps skip the VPN. It exists on Android, Windows and Linux.

Questions

Is it free?
Yes to start. The Free plan allows 2 GB per connection and 5 connections a day, with no sign-up. Premium is optional and bought through Apple or on the web.
Do I pay again for iPad?
No. The iPhone and iPad app is one App Store listing with one purchase.
Do I need an account?
Not to connect. If you buy Premium, you get a 32-character account number that signs you in on your other devices. Keep it safe: we cannot recover it for you.
