WireGuard speed, a kill switch, ad & tracker blocking, and a real no-logs policy — the same essentials Proton, Nord, Surfshark and Express charge $10–15 for. One plan. No upsell tiers.
The big names bundle a VPN, encrypted email, a password vault and an AI assistant — then charge $5–15/month across upsell tiers. SOLARA gives you one honest plan. Standard no-commitment monthly rates, June 2026.

Competitor prices are each provider's standard rate as of June 2026 (ExpressVPN shown at its discounted 2-year "Pro" rate) and vary by plan or promotion. Solara Suite items marked “soon” are on the 2026 roadmap, built on SOLARA's own products (encrypted mail, zero-knowledge vault, private AI) and included for members as each ships — they are not part of today's $1.99 plan yet. SOLARA is newer: 6 locations and growing, with an independent no-logs audit planned for 2026.
ChaCha20-Poly1305, Curve25519, BLAKE2s. The same fast, modern protocol Mullvad and Proton use.
If the tunnel ever drops, your traffic is blocked instantly — your real IP never leaks while you reconnect.
Flip on DNS-level blocking and ads and trackers are refused before they ever load — fewer ads, faster pages, nothing phoning home. One toggle.
Servers don't store source IPs, DNS queries, or per-user bandwidth. We can't hand over what we don't keep.
Not a reseller. Our hardware, our keys, in multiple countries — expanding region by region.
Removes utm_*, fbclid, gclid and 60+ other tracking params before requests leave your device. No one else bundles this.
The same VPN on every device. Cancel anytime.
iOS billing via the App Store. By subscribing you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy.
We run lean: our own hardware, no TV ad budget, no affiliate-army payouts, one simple plan instead of four upsell tiers. We pass the savings straight to you instead of spending them re-acquiring you next year.
Our servers don't store source IPs, DNS queries, or per-user bandwidth — there's nothing to hand over. We publish a transparency report yearly (so far: zero requests, zero records produced). An independent audit is planned for 2026.
If your VPN connection drops for any reason, the kill switch blocks all network traffic until the tunnel is back — so your real IP and DNS never leak during the gap.
When you turn it on, your DNS runs through a blocking resolver over the tunnel that refuses known ad and tracker domains. Pages load faster, you see fewer ads, and trackers can't phone home. Toggle it on or off in the app.
iPhone, iPad and Mac (native apps), Windows & Linux desktop, and a Chrome/Edge browser extension. Android is on the way. One subscription covers all of them.
Six today — two US regions (Virginia & Florida), the UK, Germany, Bulgaria and Turkey — and we add regions as we grow. Each is hardware we run ourselves, not rented reseller capacity.
No analytics SDKs. No third-party trackers. No advertising.
The App Store handles billing. We get a receipt hash — never your card or Apple ID.
A WireGuard private key is generated on-device and stored in your Keychain. We never see it.
Your device hands us only the public half of the key. We register it on a server. Tunnel up.
