Aloha was the first browser to introduce a built-in free VPN and now it has become an extremely well-known feature. Due to its popularity, it has also become a widespread practice to block VPN apps and VPN connections worldwide, so we have decided to provide our users with a new privacy tool. 

### TrafficMask, the latest Aloha feature, is now available for free.

**How to Use TrafficMask**

Just long-tap on the VPN shield button in Aloha Browser and select TrafficMask as your VPN location - your data will be masked to bypass all the blocks and filters!

**Who Can Use TrafficMask**

TrafficMask is now available to all Aloha users on [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aloha.browser) and [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/US/app/id1105317682) devices. It will soon be available on desktops.

**How Does It Work**

ISPs (Internet Service Providers) may slow down some websites to reduce traffic on their end users' networks, or to give preferences to some websites over others. Net neutrality is one of the Internet's core principles, and we are here to bring it back to you.

TrafficMask operates at the packet level rather than at the network connection level (like a VPN), and won’t change your IP address or location. Please bear in mind that your IP address remains real.

TrafficMask changes and encrypts each packet and/or breaks it into parts.

Because it runs on your device and uses your current internet connection, it can be as fast as your connection and may be much faster than a regular VPN server.

This method is very effective for bypassing your ISP's internet filters, ensuring that all websites are treated equally.

Premium users may use TrafficMask phone-wide in any app outside Aloha, just as with our [Premium VPN](https://alohabrowser.com/vpn.html).

**When Should You Use TrafficMask**

- If you notice that some websites are loading slowly or not opening at all with your ISP but work perfectly with other providers, TrafficMask is the solution for you.
- Although it’s a great tech, it may not help in every situation. So, if TrafficMask doesn’t work for your specific case, try our free (or Premium) VPN server.
- If it works, and especially if it doesn’t, please send us your feedback via Settings > About.
