Name: OrbVPN
Rating: 4.8 (10000 reviews)

Fixed "Stuck Connecting": Rebuilt libopenconnect.so for all Android ABIs with genuine 16KB page alignment, and hardened the alignment patch task with a self-provisioning lief virtual environment
iOS Connect Fix: Removed the scene manifest so the VPN method channel binds reliably under the classic app lifecycle
Faster, Self-Healing Connects: Quicker connect-state polling so the UI flips to connected promptly, credential refresh with a single retry on auth failure, corrected stored-password key lookup, and non-blocking analytics
Auth & Subscription: No more false "session expired" sign-outs on transient errors, a softer subscription connect gate, and a multi-channel renewal sheet (WhatsApp / Telegram / Email)
Location & Regions: Location tab grey-box and RTL fixes; REST failover now leads with the Cloudflare Workers proxy for restricted networks

Deterministic Credentials: Stable per-user password derivation with one credential per user and HMAC hashing, eliminating the ~7s connect delay
Credential Rotation: New rotation endpoint for compromise response, with credential_version exposed in export responses
gRPC Keepalive: Relaxed keepalive MinTime to 10s for client pings

Fail-Closed Validation: CSTP credential validation now fails closed
gRPC & Deploy: Client keepalive tuning and VM disk reclamation before image pulls
