What's New in Version 1.2.0
NEW IN 1.2.0:
- Supports "always on" so you don't have to remember to Cloak
- Automatically chooses the best server each time you connect (just like Cloak for OS X)
- Retina iPad support
- Bugfix: Show "Update Settings" in all cases where settings should be updated
- Improved checks for whether device is Cloaked or not
- Better error messages in several unusual cases
- Support for text notifications that tell you when you're getting close to your quota
USING "ALWAYS ON" IN 1.2.0:
With 1.2.0, we now support the ability to _always_ secure your connection with Cloak, automatically and without your intervention. Here's how it all works:
If you don't have this already, run Cloak 1.2.0 and press the "reinstall settings" button. Once you've done this, you get a lot more Cloak power! In Settings.app you will now have two options under VPN: "Cloak (connect manually)" and "Cloak (always on)".
By default, Cloak is set to "connect manually". This is just like Cloak has always been: to secure (or stop securing) your internet connection, go to Settings app and flip the VPN switch on (or off).
If you instead select "always on," Cloak will automatically turn the VPN switch ON anytime you try to do anything on any network -- no need to visit the Settings app yourself! (Note: we really do many anytime on any network; even cellular networks will connect automatically.)
FINAL NOTES FOR 1.2.0:
Thanks! We really appreciate all the great feedback we've gotten about Cloak, and we're excited to show you all the cool new stuff we're cooking up.
As always, if you have any questions or feedback, or if you run into problems, get in touch with us at hello[at]getcloak[dot]com or @getcloak on Twitter. Cheers!
Customer Reviews
Dramatic loss of Internet Speed
The new update is great in terms of security and adding the always on feature, the problem is it's at the expense of speed. Test after test have shown a dramatic 80-90% loss in speed, I'm taking 16-20Mpbs down to barely even 1Mbps. I'll only turn it on in dire open situations.
Easy,Quick,Simple!
Just and all around awesome app that you must have if you use Wi-Fi a lot!
Can't beat it!
Blocked by Wi-Fi network
It worked great at home, but on my first trip the server was blocked by the hotel wi-fi network - at least on my iPad. Even the website getcloak.com was blocked, so I couldn't get any help. I suspect this will be true for most public wi-fi networks, but I need to do more testing.
