Most VPN feature pages are a list of things that sound good. This one is the list of things version 1.0.0 actually does — followed by the list of things it does not do, so you can decide whether it is the right tool before you install it.
Lumo Veil establishes an encrypted VPN tunnel between your phone and a Lumo Veil server. Traffic is encrypted on the device before it enters the local network, so the Wi-Fi you are on — and anyone else on it — sees an unreadable stream rather than the sites and services you are using.
Secure VPN connectionThere is nothing to import and nothing to set up. The connect control is the largest thing on the app's main screen. Android will ask you once, through its own system dialog, to permit a VPN connection; after that, connecting takes a single tap.
One-tap connectionPick a server from the list and your traffic reaches the wider internet from that location instead of from your own. Services that behave differently by region will see the server's location rather than yours. If you have no preference, take the suggested server — it is picked for connection quality.
Server selectionA light client and routes selected for throughput, so that reading, messaging, streaming and video calls behave the way they did before you connected. Encryption and distance always cost something; the aim is that you should not have to think about it.
Fast and stable performanceThe strongest privacy guarantee any service can offer is not a clever control panel. It is the absence of a place where your data could have been kept.
We do not record the sites you visit, the content of your traffic, or your DNS queries. There is no store in the service that holds them, so there is nothing to leak, subpoena, or sell.
Your original IP address, the VPN address you are assigned, when you connected, and how long you stayed are not written down. Session data that has to exist while a session runs does not survive it.
Our Google Play Data safety declaration states that no user data is shared with third parties, and we do not sell personal information. If an advertising or analytics component is ever added, that declaration and our privacy policy are updated before it ships, not after.
The one data type our listing declares is "Device or other IDs". It lets the app behave correctly on your device and lets us defend the service against abuse. It is not a browsing record, and we would rather explain it than dodge it.
Diagnostic data is aggregated and anonymised before it is useful to us, and it carries no identifier that ties it back to a person. If we ever need more to solve your specific problem, we will ask you first.
Version 1.0.0 ships with no accounts and no in-app purchases, so there is no password of yours to store and no payment record to protect. If that changes, the change will be announced, not slipped in.
Plenty of VPN sites list features their app does not have. This table is the correction to that habit: it is what is in version 1.0.0 today, and what is not.
| Capability | In version 1.0.0 | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Encrypted VPN tunnel | Yes | The core of the product. |
| One-tap connect | Yes | After the one-time Android permission. |
| Server location selection | Yes | Available locations depend on the network. |
| No-logs operation | Yes | Detailed in the privacy policy. |
| Free to download | Yes | No in-app purchases declared. |
| In-app advertising | Not in 1.0.0 | If introduced, announced in advance and disclosed on the Play listing. |
| Desktop and iOS apps | No | Android only today. |
| Browser extension | No | Nothing to install alongside the app. |
| Ad and tracker blocking | No | Lumo Veil is a VPN, not a content filter. |
| Malware or antivirus scanning | No | Use a dedicated tool for that. |
| Split tunnelling | No | All traffic goes through the tunnel while connected. |
| Anonymity | No | No VPN can offer this. See the threat model. |
If a capability is added later, this table changes on the same day the release goes out. If you find something on this site that the app does not do, write to us and we will correct it.
Which is the point. Install it, tap once, and see whether it earns its place on your phone.
