Obscura VPN has officially landed on Android, bringing its unique flavor of privacy to the world&#8217;s most popular mobile operating system.<\/p>\n<p>Previously limited to iOS and macOS, the provider is now available to download on Google Play and the open-source app manager Obtainium. It marks a major milestone for the privacy-focused company, which aims to shield the vast amounts of personal data and location history stored on our smartphones.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-e5492057-f191-4c32-a7e1-690134387d30-2\">&#8220;Your phone holds more of your personal life than almost anything else you own,&#8221; the company stated in a blog post announcing the release. &#8220;You carry it everywhere, which means apps and other services can build up a detailed record of your location. That activity deserves to stay private, which is why we built Obscura.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the Android launch, the provider is offering a 25% discount to all users for a limited time. You can secure the deal by using the promo code ANDROID26 at checkout.<\/p>\n<p>The development team noted they are currently working on bringing the app to other alternative Android storefronts in the future. A company spokesperson also told TechRadar that native apps for Windows and Linux are officially in development, though no firm release date has been set.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, those on unsupported platforms don&#8217;t have to miss out completely. Users on Windows and Linux can still connect to the network using a manual WireGuard guide provided by the company, ensuring they can benefit from its top-tier encryption while they wait for dedicated software.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-makes-obscura-vpn-different-3\">What makes Obscura VPN different?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-e182ee49-82ef-4476-948c-45615334479c\">If you aren&#8217;t familiar with Obscura VPN, the provider burst onto&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/vpn\/vpn-services\/android-users-have-just-gained-access-to-a-new-vpn-app-as-obscura-vpn-lands-on-google-play-and-obtainum\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Android users have just gained access to a new VPN app as Obscura VPN lands&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":250455,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vHTNPEFhEYY7xAQHN6jEMV-530-80.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70],"class_list":["post-250454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250454"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250454"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250454\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":250456,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250454\/revisions\/250456"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
