SimontoX Max Plus PVN Pro is a simple privacy app that takes only a few minutes to configure. it's designed to help users protect their online activity from would-be snoops. Since it incorporates a full VPN system, you could also use it to access sites that would have been otherwise blocked in your region.

Unlike most virtual private networking solutions, SimontoX features a variety of servers that are run by volunteers from around the globe. Any user who wants to run their own traffic tunnel could log into the app's VPN Hub Public Server and give themselves a static IP address. Remote clients would then be able to connect to their server and hide behind a remote IP address.

A majority of mobile users won't want to do this. However, they can still rely on SimontoX to protect their online browsing activity. When you first start the app, it'll give you a short tour of the various features clients are able to access through it. You'll want to walk through this short tutorial because its actually quite useful.

As soon as it's done, you'll be given the option to pick which location you'd prefer to connect to. SimontoX will present you with a list of different countries you'd like to spoof your IP address through. In general, you'll have your pick of seven different nations. This might not sound like much, but it's more than enough for anyone who wants to hide their online activity or open up video streams that would have otherwise been blocked out in their region.

Considering that you should have at least one European server to connect to as well as ones in Japan and Korea, you'll find that SimontoX is more than useful for getting around region locks. On top of that, you can spoof IP addresses from a number of locations in the United States. Those who are concerned about their download speeds being dramatically altered by using a VPN can perform a quick speed test on any server before they connect to it. The app will let you know whether or not it's a good time to use that particular tunneling location.

Packet loss is always an issue when dealing with VPN technology, so the SimontoX app will always make sure to measure PL statistics. If it gets too high, then the app can automatically switch to another location. Since this can cause quality of service issues when streaming online media, users can disable this functionality when performing certain tasks. Turning it back on is as easy as flipping one slider.

A simple configuration dashboard gives users only a few options to mess around with, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. SimontoX is designed with simplicity in mind, so it's probably best that the app doesn't try to hit users over the head with features they'll never need.

That being said, SimontoX does remain relatively customizable. Users can instruct it to start each time their mobile devices do, or they can alternatively switch it on and off manually. Those who prefer to use automatic IP address switching can specify which countries they'd prefer to connect to.

Privacy advocates might instead want to tell the app to automatically connect to a random server whenever they launch it. That should ensure that anyone trying to track your path online wouldn't be able to follow you.

Since the app helps you connect to third-party servers, you'll quickly find that some are more secure than others. Fortunately, you shouldn't have too much difficulty returning to your favorites. Those who are seriously concerned about privacy can tell the SimontoX app to not allow sites to generate cookies whenever it's on.
