The kill switch cuts your internet if the server connection drops, so your traffic doesn't leak onto the open network by accident. You can switch between several protocols, and the servers are tuned for speed. If something breaks, live chat and email support are available.
Premium adds an ad blocker and an app filter. The filter lets you pick which apps go through the VPN and which skip it, which helps if you only want to protect banking or shopping apps. The service says it keeps no logs and operates under Romanian law.
Requires Android 8.0 or newer. Version 8.5.6, updated 23 September 2026.
FAQ:
What does a VPN actually do?
It encrypts your connection and routes it through a remote server. Sites see the server's address instead of yours, and anyone else on the same café Wi-Fi sees only scrambled data.
Is Planet VPN free?
Yes, the free plan has no traffic, bandwidth or time caps and asks for no payment details. Premium is the paid option with the ad blocker and app filter.
Can someone hack a VPN?
Breaking the 256-bit encryption directly isn't realistic. Most VPN problems come from outdated apps, reused passwords or fake VPN downloads, so install only from official sources.
Does Planet VPN keep logs?
No, according to the company, which says it doesn't store browsing history, connection timestamps, IP addresses or session activity.
Is a free VPN safe?
The free version is supported by short ads rather than by selling data, the company says. Sessions run on RAM-only servers, so session data is cleared when you disconnect.
Is it legal to use a VPN?
Yes in most countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia and most of Europe. North Korea, Belarus, Oman and Turkmenistan ban them, and China, Russia, the UAE and Turkey restrict them.
