A VPN for travel protects your phone on hotel, airport and café Wi-Fi, and lets you choose where your traffic leaves from. Tunnexa is free on Android. Set it up at home, pick a nearby location for speed, and keep local apps like banking and maps outside the tunnel.

Travel puts you on more strange networks in a week than you’d join at home in a year. The hotel network every guest shares. The airport hotspot with a name anyone could copy. The café with the password on a chalkboard.
With Tunnexa on, each of those networks only sees encrypted data going to one server, and your DNS lookups stay inside the tunnel. Our guide to using a VPN on public Wi-Fi covers what that protects, and what it doesn’t.
Free Wi-Fi, no password. Finish the sign-in page, then Tap To Connect.
Room number to log in. Connect before you open email, not after.
Password on the chalkboard. Tunnel on before the coffee arrives.
Every extra mile adds delay. When you’re abroad, the quickest choice is usually a location close to where you are now, not the one back home.
The server list shows the ping to each location before you connect. Green is 80 ms or less, amber is up to 150 ms, and red is slower. Pick green when you can.

Some apps dislike VPNs. Your bank may ask for extra checks when it sees a login from a VPN server, and maps or ride apps can get confused about which city you’re in.
Split Tunneling fixes that. Pick the apps that should use the local connection directly, and everything else stays in the tunnel. It’s free with a Tunnexa account. Set up Split Tunneling.
Apps you leave out aren’t covered by the VPN. Most banking apps encrypt their own traffic, but keep the list short.
Screenshot it, or tick it off the night before you fly.

If you'll use hotel, airport or café Wi-Fi, it's worth having. A VPN encrypts your traffic before it reaches those networks and keeps your DNS lookups private. Tunnexa does it for free on Android.
In most places, yes, but VPN laws differ by country and a few restrict them. Check the rules for each country on your trip, and follow local law while you're there.
Banks watch for logins from unexpected places, and a VPN server's address can look like one. Add the app to Split Tunneling so it uses the local connection directly.
Usually the one closest to you, with a green ping in the server list. Distance adds delay, so a nearby location feels quicker than one back home.
We don't promise that. Streaming services decide where their shows are available, and those rules apply with or without a VPN.
Yes, once you're signed in to the Wi-Fi. Finish the hotel's login page first, then tap connect. If it stalls, try OpenVPN TCP with a free account.
