Legacy Applications

Overview

If your device is too old to run our Official desktop/mobile application, don't worry. It is likely you can still run our Legacy desktop/mobile application instead.

The legacy apps are designed to run on older platforms, and they use an entirely different technology. This means they will work on nearly any device, even older ones.


 Windows  macOS  Android  Linux

 VirtualShield for Windows

The legacy app only includes basic VPN functionality. To take full advantage of VPN Plus (Ad & Malware blocking), and the additional features we offer, the official app is required.

Before attempting to install the Legacy app, check to see if you can install our Official Windows application first. If you can run this app, chances are you can run the new one as well.

The legacy apps will be deprecated over time. If your device is compatible, we strongly recommend installing the Official Windows application instead.

I own an iPhone 7, does that mean I can't run the app?
No, the Apple iOS version is different from the iPhone/iPad version. As long as you're using iOS 13.0 or later, then our app will be fully compatible. See our support article for more info on how to check your iOS version.
