Changelog
What’s new
Every meaningful update to the JaguarVPN apps and website — new features, improvements and fixes. Newest first.
- App & Web
You choose before any ad loads
- Ads on the free Android plan now ask your permission first — nothing loads until you answer, and declining is as easy as accepting.
- You can change or withdraw that choice at any time from Settings → Ad privacy choices.
- Paid plans stay ad-free, and the iPhone, Mac and Windows apps contain no advertising code at all.
- The privacy policy now sets out exactly what an ad request involves and who receives the data.
- App & Web
Security hardening across the platform
- Password reset codes are now capped per account, not just per network — a burned code cannot be guessed at from a pool of addresses.
- Stronger automated-abuse protection on sign-up and contact forms.
- Tightened internal access to our databases and node control plane.
- Sensitive values are no longer written to our server logs.
- App & Web
Connecting on networks that block VPNs
- A new connection mode carries your tunnel inside ordinary-looking web traffic, so it keeps working on networks that filter VPN protocols outright.
- Locations can be moved onto it without waiting for an app update.
- Windows builds now ship the new icon and build cleanly from a fresh checkout.
- App & Web
Your language and your currency, done properly
- The website now speaks 25 locales, including full right-to-left layouts.
- Nine fully translated languages in the apps.
- Money and data sizes now format the way your own region writes them, everywhere — app, website and email.
- The price you are quoted is the price you are charged, and store purchases now follow your store account’s region.
- Website
Every guide in one place
- All 76 guides now live in a single managed library, so they stay current instead of drifting.
- Articles link to genuinely related reading rather than dead ends.
- Removed Linux from the site — there is no Linux app yet, and implying otherwise was not fair to anyone looking for one.
- Mobile appApp 1.0 (2088)
Your devices, in your hands
- A new device sheet shows everything signed in — and removing one now disconnects it there and then, instead of leaving it quietly connected.
- A new Jaguar badge icon across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows.
- Payment history no longer appears twice.
- Cooler, smoother screens: idle animations stop when nothing is moving, and the speed test always reports a ping.
- App & Web
Support that does more than reply
- The help bot now completes real tasks: registering, resetting a password, resending a verification email, finding the right download, and checking whether your device is supported.
- A chat becomes a real support ticket with a full thread — reply in the app or straight from your email.
- Request a refund without leaving the chat.
- Talking to a human no longer strands you; there is always a way back to the menu.
- Website
A sign-up that fits on one screen
- Register and sign-in rebuilt — brand panels, a sectioned form, and a password checklist that ticks off as you type.
- The whole sign-up now fits on one screen, with no scrolling to find the button.
- Joining the buy flow part-way through no longer breaks it.
- Our full company and trading details are now published in the footer.
- Mobile appApp 1.0 (2083)
Clear about what the VPN does
- A plain-language disclosure now appears before your very first connection, explaining exactly what the tunnel carries and what we do with it.
- Fixed a crash on IPv6-only and NAT64 mobile networks that stopped some carriers connecting at all.
- Fixed crashes caused by leaving a screen while it was still updating.
- macOS: wallet, speed test, privacy and split-tunnel icons now render properly in the .dmg build.
- Mobile appApp 1.0 (2079)
Connecting on every Android device
- Older and 32-bit Android phones could never establish a tunnel — the VPN engine was only being shipped for 64-bit chips. Now included for both.
- A failed Stealth connection no longer poisons every attempt after it; the next tap starts clean.
- The VPN notification now reliably appears on newer Android versions, so the tunnel is always visible and always one tap from off.
- The app no longer shows "protected" unless the tunnel genuinely established.
- Website
A new face for JaguarVPN.com
- New immersive homepage: watch a real request get sealed with AES-256 live, a 10 Gbps velocity gauge, and a follow-the-packet tour of how the tunnel works.
- New protocol pages: Aurora (everyday speed) and MIRAGE (stealth for hostile networks, now with a multi-hop explainer).
- Seasonal sale landing pages with live countdowns, and a smarter sale banner that never hides behind the menu.
- Sign-up now clearly links the Refund Policy alongside Terms and Privacy.
- Mobile appApp 1.0 (2077)

- Opt-in diagnostics now help us find and fix issues before you ever notice them.
- Mobile appApp 1.0 (2076)
