** THIS IS THE CLIENT APP. **
You'll also need to run a Hop server on a Mac, or you'll need a friend to share their Hop server with you. https://hopvpn.com

Requirements:
1) A Mac running Hop in server mode

Hop lets you share your home Internet connection with yourself and your friends, anywhere in the world. When you travel, use Hop to access the Internet just like you would from home. Hop is a VPN service that you run yourself, and a great alternative to subscription VPN services.

Hop brings a new approach to VPN. With Hop, you run your own private VPN out of your home. Leave the Hop server running on a Mac at home while you travel, and you can get your home Internet beamed to you, anywhere. Access the Internet safely and securely, without the uncertainties of a third-party VPN provider or unknown ISP.

Hop was made by an industry veteran who came out with one of the Mac's first VPN services, NetShade, over 14 years ago. Before Hop, running a home-based VPN service with Internet forwarding was reserved for the few tinkerers or professionals with the know-how to set one up. Hop takes care of all the technical details, and makes it as easy as flipping a switch.

This iOS client app allows you to connect to your Mac-hosted Hop server. If you leave Hop running on a Mac at home when you travel, you can use the Hop app on iOS or Mac to connect to your home Internet. The VPN routes your traffic to the outside Internet, just like a subscription-based VPN service. But unlike a subscription VPN, your traffic goes through your own personal server at home, not an IP shared by hundreds of users simultaneously.


HOW HOP DIFFERS FROM A TRADITIONAL VPN SERVICE
- Excels at providing Internet access, since you're not using the IP address of a shared VPN server.
- More secure than a VPN service, since there's no VPN provider handling (and possibly inspecting/logging) your activity.
- Employs a cascade of techniques to bolster connection resiliency even in poor network conditions.
- You always get the full bandwidth of the server. No slowdowns because of shared resources.
- The actions of some users (i.e. getting blacklisted from websites) doesn't affect all the other users of the service, since they're not sharing the same IP addresses.


SERVER REQUIREMENTS
1) A Mac sitting at home while you travel, to run the Hop server
2) The Hop app
3) A compatible router (one that supports UPnP or NAT-PMP is preferable for zero-configuration setup)

Hop lets you access the Internet as you do from your own home.
