[Free Release] AlwaysVPN, just another steps towards better privacy

This is the release of my tweak AlwaysVPN.

It was first teased here.

(Long boring explanation below)

My tweak disallows opening of apps if your VPN is not currently active. This is very configurable as you can set individual apps. There is also a control center module as requested by user lvillanl. (Thanks for the idea!). Big thanks to Theos discord for help along the way. Tweak injection must be enabled for the app, this is because the part that checks it before anything else runs is nested inside the app. To check if you have a VPN it uses apple’s isUsingVPNConnection, NOT IP ADDRESS. This means all your info is safe and stays with you. In the future I may add IP Address alternative if people want it. Submit requests and bugs either here or on my discord (ios#4469). Hope you enjoy!

The depiction (website when you click on tweak) is a little broken, I am trying to fix it but is not required for it to work so shouldn’t matter. That only visually affects installation. Zebra is the only package manager affected. You can still install just the text will be cutoff.

This is not an alternative to other tweaks or automations similar to this, it is a replacement. It checks for VPN connection before apps make any network requests.

Features:

-Close apps if VPN is not enabled

-Set per app, no limit to how many or which ones

-Works on system apps and sideloaded apps

-Control Center Module

Nice! We definitely need more privacy tweak/tools. Congratulations on the tweak! Can’t wait to try it out.

congrats for the release !

I wanted to try it and got the error: alwaysVPN has issues that can not be solved: com.yulkytulky.actify … how to solve it ? Thank you and congrats for the release!

Very useful tweak. Seems working fine. Thank you.
I dont know if it even works if u are trying to answer through notification on some social apps.
Please, add toggle to enable in all apps. Not one by one enabling. After you can disable it one by one.

nice tweak. would it be possible to have it automatically enabled only on specific wifi networks? like a whitelist/blacklist for networks you want/don’t want the tweak enabled for

It’s included with VPN or we stills need to buy VPN?

Will this tweak be updated to ios 15 once the jb comes out ?

I thought this was to deactivate the VPN in some apps, I was wrong but this is interesting what you did.

Now i def cant wait for a JB!

Thanks for this great tweak!

I have a taurine jailbreak. When ever I try to download this tweak, I can’t because there is a line in the tweak that is not compatible

Can it activate VPN for selected apps?

Thanks!

Thanks! I hope you like it. Love the support.

Forgot to mention It needed actify. Thanks!

I will look into that, if it’s possible I will. For usability I should already have that but didn’t think of it.

I’ll definitely look into it. I don’t have as much free time as I use to. That’s why’s this took 3 months lol. Thanks for the suggestion.

Haha, glad you like it. Hope you get to use it soon.

You still need a VPN. This doesn’t provide anything other than it a VPN is active.

Most likely, no promises as I do not have an iOS 15 device but I’ll make every effort to make it compatible.
