The VPN That Actually
Works in Iran
Iran's internet filtering blocks VPNs aggressively — especially during protests and elections. We offer VLESS + REALITY for everyday use, plus 6 anti-censorship DNS tunnel protocols that keep working even during full internet shutdowns. Your traffic becomes invisible — it cannot be detected or blocked.

Why Most VPNs Fail in Iran
Iran uses deep packet inspection (DPI) to detect and block VPN protocols. During sensitive periods, filtering intensifies and even previously working VPNs stop.
OpenVPN — Blocked
Detectable handshake signature. Actively targeted and blocked by Iran's filtering infrastructure.
WireGuard — Blocked
UDP traffic with a recognisable fingerprint. Throttled or blocked outright on most Iranian ISPs.
VLESS + REALITY — Works
Indistinguishable from HTTPS. Uses genuine TLS certificates. Works on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
DNS Tunnelling — Works
6 stealth protocols hide traffic inside DNS queries. Cannot be blocked without breaking the entire internet. Android + iOS (NaiveProxy).
How REALITY Bypasses Iran's Censorship
REALITY doesn't disguise VPN traffic — it makes your connection genuinely identical to normal HTTPS browsing.
Genuine TLS 1.3 Certificates
Your connection performs a real TLS 1.3 handshake using a valid certificate from a trusted website like microsoft.com. Iran's DPI sees a legitimate HTTPS session — because it is one.
Chrome Browser Fingerprint
The TLS fingerprint matches a real Chrome browser exactly. There is no difference between your VPN traffic and someone in Tehran opening microsoft.com in Chrome.
Standard HTTPS Port (443)
All traffic uses port 443 — the same port used by every HTTPS website. Iran cannot block this port without breaking all internet access for the entire country.
No Fingerprint, No Detection
Unlike older obfuscation tools that wrap VPN traffic in TLS (which DPI can still fingerprint), REALITY produces traffic with zero statistical anomalies. There is literally nothing to detect.
6 Anti-Censorship Tunnel Protocols
When even VLESS gets throttled during severe shutdowns, our DNS tunnels keep working. They hide your traffic inside DNS queries — the backbone of the internet itself. Block DNS, and the entire country goes offline. Governments can't do it.
DNSTT
RecommendedHides encrypted traffic inside DNS queries using Curve25519 encryption. The most reliable protocol — battle-tested through every Iranian shutdown.
Port 53/UDP · Android via SlipNet
VayDNS
Max StealthKCP-over-DNS with 9 switchable DNS record types. If one pattern gets fingerprinted, we switch to another server-side without touching your phone.
Port 53/UDP · Android via SlipNet
Slipstream
FastestQUIC protocol tunnelled through DNS. Best throughput of all DNS tunnels — suitable for video calls and streaming on restricted networks.
Port 53/UDP · Android via SlipNet
NaiveProxy
iOS + AndroidDisguises traffic as normal HTTPS browsing using a real TLS certificate and Chrome's browser fingerprint. Resistant to active probing — censors see a real website.
Port 443/TCP · iOS via Shadowrocket · Android via SlipNet
StunTLS
FallbackSSH tunnelled over TLS encryption. Connects directly to the server IP — no domain configuration needed. Quick fallback when DNS is filtered locally.
Port 8443/TCP · Android via SlipNet
NoizDNS
Anti-AnalysisDNSTT with traffic noise injection. Randomises query timing and packet sizes to defeat statistical analysis used by advanced DPI systems.
Port 53/UDP · Android via SlipNet
Android — All 6 Protocols
Download the free SlipNet app, import your connection URI from the PremierVPN portal, and connect. One-tap switching between protocols if one gets blocked.
iOS — NaiveProxy via Shadowrocket
Download Shadowrocket from the App Store, add our NaiveProxy server details from your portal, and connect. Your traffic looks like normal HTTPS browsing.
