Lantern: Better than a VPN

Can you access the open web without restrictions, setup hassles, or complex terms of service?

Lantern delivers exactly that—a no-configuration gateway to the global internet. Unlike traditional VPNs that require manual server selection, protocol tweaks, and registration forms, Lantern activates with a single tap. No account creation, no accepting lengthy terms of use, and no technical knowledge required. You simply open the app, press the button, and immediately start browsing websites that may be blocked in your region or on particular networks. The app handles all routing and encryption automatically in the background.

All-in-one news feed with integrated VPN control

Beyond basic unblocking, Lantern includes a built-in news aggregation tab that pulls content from major international sources. From the same interface, you can toggle the VPN on or off while scrolling through headlines from Reddit, BuzzFeed, BBC, and RT. Tapping any story opens the full article directly inside the app—no need to switch to a separate browser or deal with external loading delays. This dual functionality means you can stay informed about global events while simultaneously maintaining your encrypted connection. The news feed refreshes automatically, giving you a constantly updated stream of content without leaving the VPN environment.

Zero ads with Turbo mode for premium performance

The free version of Lantern is completely ad-free—no banner interruptions, no video ads, and no sponsored content cluttering your experience. For users who need faster speeds and more reliable connections, the optional Turbo subscription unlocks dedicated bandwidth and priority routing. Turbo mode reduces latency for streaming, video calls, and large file downloads, making it suitable for real-time applications that standard free VPNs often struggle with. This paid upgrade also includes access to additional server locations and enhanced stability during peak usage hours.
