VPN Up Leaving our Account

Mohamed ElBasyouni — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 10:05:34 +0000

It’s time to say Goodbye for our beloved app VPN Up.

Today we have finalized the transfer of VPN Up iOS App from our account to appilf account.

The company located in Delaware, US has shown interest in the app and the deal was finalized today keeping our clients on the top priority list for continuous support.

Through the upcoming period, details related to the app on the App Store will be updated with the new Privacy Policy URL and support URL.

Meanwhile, we will still be there whenever required for helping our clients until the latest version is rolled-out and all clients have the app updated on their phone.

VPN Up, time to say Bye

As per Apple new rules for its App Store, an individual developer account can not anymore publish VPN applications. And as I’m an individual with an individual account, I can’t publish or even “update” VPN Up anymore.

We will continue supporting the current version via mail to apps@patchivic.com

We didn’t like it, and we will never. But will have to stick to the rules anyway.

Bye bye

…Nothing is better than a centralized app for all VPN connections supporting trusted protocols and easy to use.



Imagine having a huge storage box, where you save all your valuable properties and belongings. How secure you want it to be ?. This is the same concept we used for developing “VPN Up”, a centralized, secure and trusted mobile application, where you can configure and save all your VPN Connections for Home or Work Intranet access or even for the purpose of hiding your IP over the internet for safe usage.



With a simple interface and easy to use, you can configure the VPN once and deal with it from the integrated widget. The App will give you the ping speed of each connection separately and the country where your VPN is directed to. The App is also adding a value by specifying Domains for specific VPN Connections. Giving you the ability to control the traffic, not just directing it to somewhere else. With a customer experience attitude, we have minimized the Ads in this app, just like other released apps.



When it comes to the point of trusting the app, security concern is raised, actually highly raised. VPN Up is configuring only the most secured and latest protocols for safety reasons and even security restrictions on iOS. Only IPSec and IKEv2 are the configurable protocols on the app. What about single VPN with multiple credentials? Simply, created once and clone it with a finger tap. Check it in the widget then give us a minute or two to review the app on the App Store and let us know how to improve it more.

…Working with MAC addresses has never been that easy. With just a click, you get all the manufacture data related to that MAC.



With a little few Apps on the App Store, we found that this is a great time to introduce an App like this one. MAC Vendors, with no relation to MAC products by Apple, is a very simple mobile application that converts the MAC Address of any product to its manufacture details. It identifies the MAC Address manufacture company and links it to the IEEE Standards Library, giving the user all details about this MAC, as the MAC Prefix, Start HEX, End HEX, Number of Devices in this MAC Prefix and locate the manufacture location on Map.



With the location of Map feature, you can locate the vendor registered address on Google Maps or Apple Maps, preferring Google Maps over Apple Maps. Simply what is required is to write down the MAC Address without any separators, or with the easiest solution, scan it with our embedded Barcode reader, just tap on the camera icon. MAC Vendors is coming with another interesting feature, that keeps you safe on public WiFis or Hotspots, is that you can, with a tap, scan the network and find out many details about it.



With the Scan Network feature, the orange WiFi icon on the top right, you can have all details about the connected devices to your network, starting with IP Address, MAC Address, Manufacturer Name and Device Name. This feature is very effective keeping threats away, simply scan any suspicious network, WiFi or Hotspot once you log in and make sure you are safe and no one is using your own network with informing you. App version 1.0 has been reviewed by Apple Review Team and is now available on App Store.
