Private VPN App

πŸ” About the Project

Smart VPN was created to provide fast, secure, and hassle-free internet access for everyone. Whether you're traveling, shopping online, or just scrolling social media, Smart VPN gives you one-tap privacy with global servers and military-grade encryption β€” all in one lightweight app.


🧩 What the Client Needed

The client approached us with a clear goal:

  • Create a powerful yet lightweight VPN app
  • No login or sign-up required
  • Include speed test, auto server selection, and premium access
  • Publish the app on Android, iOS, and their official website
  • Deliver within 10 weeks

We accepted the challenge and delivered a robust cross-platform VPN solution.


πŸ“„ Planning & Technical Blueprint

Before development, we finalized a detailed tech roadmap and user experience flow.

Key decisions included:

  • UI/UX Design: Clean, minimal, accessible to all age groups
  • Languages: Flutter (Dart)
  • VPN Protocols: OpenVPN & WireGuard
  • Cloud Infrastructure: Firebase + VPS-based VPN hosting
  • Tools Used: Figma (Design), Postman (API Testing), Git (Version Control)

🎨 Designed to Be Simple & Smart

Our design team used Figma to build a fast, intuitive UI:

  • One-tap connect
  • Dark/light mode
  • Instant speed test feature
  • Language localization options
    The design prototype was shared early for user testing and client feedback.

πŸ› οΈ Built with Flutter β€” Fast, Flexible, Future-Proof

Using Flutter allowed us to build once and deploy everywhere.

What we used:

  • Flutter (Cross-platform UI)
  • Dart (Programming language)
  • flutter_secure_storage for local data security
  • Speed test API for accurate connection testing
  • Custom VPN wrapper logic for OpenVPN control
  • intl for multilingual support

βœ… Quality You Can Trust

We tested the app across:

  • Android (API 21 to latest)
  • iOS (iPhone 8 to iPhone 15)
  • Network types (3G/4G/5G/Wi-Fi)
    Testing Goals:
  • No drops in VPN connection
  • Fast server switching
  • Zero UI glitches
    Result: A smooth, stable experience, even on low-end devices.

πŸ“² Published Where Your Users Are

Smart VPN is now available on:

  • Google Play Store
  • Apple App Store
  • Official Website (APK + FAQs + Privacy Policy)

⚠️ Challenges We Overcame

  • Integrating OpenVPN with Flutter was complex due to native dependencies
  • Apple’s strict VPN policy required several compliance iterations
  • Auto server ping testing under poor network conditions
  • Keeping the app under 20MB while supporting multiple languages

πŸ“† Project Timeline

Our team delivered Smart VPN in just under 12 weeks:

  • Week 1–2: Design & User Flow Finalization
  • Week 3–6: Flutter Frontend + Backend Integration
  • Week 7–9: VPN Protocol Implementation
  • Week 10–11: QA Testing & Bug Fixing
  • Week 12: App Store Deployment

πŸ’° Cost & Server Setup

Server Locations: 6 VPS (US, Canada, India, UAE, Germany, UK)

Cloud Tools: Firebase, GitHub, Postman

Estimated Project Cost: $1000–$1200

We used VPS-based server hosting to maintain performance while optimizing cost β€” a perfect balance of value and performance.
