World by SOBEfor iPhone, iPad and AndroidYour world
of freedom.
A private VPN. One simple connection.
Servers in Amsterdam, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tel Aviv and New York, run by our own team. No access or traffic logs.
Simple to use. Clear about how it works.
One-tap connection
Sign in with your email, then one golden button connects and disconnects. No configuration files, no keys to copy.
Automatic protocol selection
Auto starts with the fastest protocol. If the network blocks it, the app tries the next one while it connects.
Servers we manage
Rented servers in five countries. Our team installs and runs every piece of software on them, with access logs switched off.
A connection that adapts.
Some networks slow down or block VPNs. Leave the protocol on Auto and tap once: the app checks what gets through on this network.
- AmneziaWG · tried firstThe fastest option. Built on WireGuard, with the fingerprint that gives WireGuard away hidden.
- VLESS Reality · when UDP is blockedRuns over TCP port 443 and looks like an ordinary HTTPS visit to a university website. A little slower.
- VLESS XHTTP · where the server offers itExperimental. Splits traffic into ordinary web requests, for networks that break long connections.
Auto runs its checks when you connect, so on a difficult network it can take a few seconds or up to about half a minute. If a connection drops later, connect again to repeat them. You can also choose a protocol yourself in Settings. No VPN works on every network, and we do not promise that either.
Where we are
Five locations. Swipe the server card on the main screen to change it. On iPhone and iPad, Auto picks the fastest one for you.
Rented servers at HostHatch, HOSTKEY and Kamatera, set up and run by us. Each server issues its own keys for each of your devices.
How it works
Three steps, about a minute the first time.
- 1
Sign in with an email code
Enter your email and the six-digit code we send you. There is no password to create, reuse or leak.
- 2
Choose a location
Swipe to Amsterdam, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tel Aviv or New York. The protocol stays on Auto unless you change it.

Tap to connect
The big golden button. Tap it again to disconnect.
Everyday controls
The small things that make a VPN easy to live with. Some of them depend on what iOS and Android allow an app to do.
Ad and tracker filtering
One switch sends DNS lookups to AdGuard's filtering DNS, which blocks known ad, tracker and malicious domains in apps that use the system DNS. It cannot catch ads served from a site's own domain.
Connect automatically
On iPhone, World can connect by itself on any network. On Android, turn on Always-on VPN in the system settings: the app takes you there.
Kill switch
On iPhone, an optional switch blocks internet traffic outside the VPN, while the local network stays reachable. On Android, use the system option Block connections without VPN.
Widgets and quick toggles
iPhone and iPad: Home Screen widgets in every size and Lock Screen widgets (iOS 17 and later), and a Control Center toggle (iOS 18 and later). Android: a Quick Settings tile.
Siri and Shortcuts
Connect, disconnect, or ask whether you are connected, by voice or from a shortcut.
Made to be yours
Ten themes, from forest green to Hawaii, the Alps and Amazonia, or your own photo as the background. On iPhone and iPad, ten app icons too. Eleven languages on iPhone and iPad; English, Russian and Spanish on Android.
Your privacy, explained.
A VPN carries everything you send, so we keep only what the service needs. This is the short version; the policies give every detail.
What we keep
- Your email address: it is your account, for sign-in codes and access.
- Sign-in sessions: a hashed token for each device you sign in on.
- Your VPN profile: the keys of each of your devices on each server, in a file only the administrator can read.
- Your devices: a random install number, the device type with its system version and when it first and last asked for access, so you can see and disconnect your devices.
- Your purchase: on iPhone, the App Store record of your plan (transaction number, plan, expiry); on Android, a note that your email bought the app.
- Error messages: technical errors, without your email or IP address, in server memory for three days at most.
What we do not keep
- The sites and apps you use: there are no access or traffic logs on our servers.
- Your DNS lookups: they travel inside the tunnel and are not logged.
- Your IP address on disk: it is held in memory only, by the VPN server while you are connected and by the account service to limit abuse.
- Payment details: purchases go through the App Store or Google Play; we never see your card.
- Trackers in the apps: no third-party analytics, advertising or crash reporting.
Delete your account at any time
In the app, Settings, then Delete account, or by writing to us. Your email, sessions and keys are erased from our servers. Only the record of your purchase is kept, until you ask us to erase it. Deleting the account does not cancel an App Store subscription.
Questions
Why do you need my email?
It is your account: we send the sign-in code to it and use it to give you the same account on a new device. No newsletters, no marketing, no sharing.
Which devices can I use?
iPhone, iPad and Android phones. One account works on all of them: sign in with the same email.
Can I use it on several devices at once?
Yes, on up to three. Each device gets its own keys. Settings → Devices lists them and lets you disconnect one; a device where World has not been opened for 60 days frees its place by itself.
Will it work on my network?
In most places, yes. Auto tries up to three protocols when you connect, which helps on networks that block VPNs. No VPN can promise every network: if yours still blocks the connection, write to us.
Do you keep logs?
There are no access or traffic logs on our servers and no record of the sites you open or your DNS lookups. We do keep your account data: the privacy policy lists all of it.
How much does it cost?
On Android, you buy the app once in Google Play before installing it, with no subscription; the price is shown in your currency. On iPhone and iPad, the app is free to download; to connect, choose in the app €4.99 a month, €39.99 a year with the first 7 days free, or lifetime access for €99.99 once. The App Store shows the price in your currency.
A site from home does not open through the VPN. What can I do?
Some banks, government services and shops refuse foreign addresses. On iPhone, turn on the Allowed list in Settings and add the site's address: listed sites open directly, with your own address. Everything else still goes through the VPN. A few apps check whether any VPN is on at all; for those, turn the VPN off for a moment.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, Settings, then Delete account, or write to world@sobeinvest.com. The Delete account page explains what is erased.
