About Shtil VPN

Shtil is a personal VPN client for the desktop: Windows and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). It opens an encrypted VLESS tunnel to your own server and collects nothing about you - no in-app accounts, no logs, no ads, no in-app purchases.

Features:

  • Split routing: Russian sites - banks, government services, marketplaces - stay on the direct route instead of going through the tunnel, so they keep full speed and don't treat you as a foreign visitor. The rule list ships inside the app, nothing is downloaded at runtime.
  • Two modes: the regular one sends your browser and most programs through the tunnel; "all traffic" sends every single program through it.
  • The key arrives from the bot by a short code: link the computer once, then the key and the subscription date refresh themselves.
  • A two-hour trial right inside the app - no account, no payment.
  • Updates itself: a new version comes from our own address, no store needed.
  • Five interface languages: Russian, English, German, Spanish, Persian. Light and dark themes, launch at system startup.

Free app, paid service: the application itself is free and MIT-licensed - no in-app purchases, no checkout, no ads, no accounts. Our subscription service is sold outside the app - in the Telegram bot, in WhatsApp and at shtil.vip: 30-day access for about US$5-7 per month (499 RUB, or 300 Telegram Stars) after a 7-day free trial. Payments are taken by YooMoney (cards) or Telegram Stars, and the subscription link is issued there. The app never displays a price and never handles payment data; it also works with a VLESS server you run yourself.

What you need: the app is the entrance to the tunnel; the server itself is not included. You need a subscription link - ours comes from our Telegram or WhatsApp bot or shtil.vip with a free trial, and any other provider's VLESS link works too.

Built on the open-source sing-box core.
