Fastest VPN on iPhone — nearby servers and WireGuard in FollowNet

“Fastest” is not a forever badge. FollowNet stays quick when you pick a nearby location, prefer WireGuard on calm networks, and verify with in-app Speed Test instead of marketing claims.

What to know

Smart Connect may choose another protocol when the ISP fights plain tunnels. Free includes a weekly traffic meter; Premium removes the cap so long HD sessions do not hit a weekly wall. Email-code login (no password) gets you into the same account on iOS and Chrome.

How to use it

Connect → nearby server → Protocol WireGuard when the network is calm → run Speed Test before a long stream. On filtered hotel Wi‑Fi, try Restricted Network or Smart Connect.

Limits and honest expectations

Distant servers, weak LTE, and captive portals slow every VPN. We do not promise #1 speed worldwide — measure on your path.
