Install the app
The app is how you connect, and it is also how you set up a new device — so install it before unboxing anything.

Signing in
You sign in with an email address. The first time, the app sends a message to that address to confirm it is yours.
Your account is what ties your devices and your teams together. Signing in on a second phone or a laptop shows you the same devices — you do not set anything up twice.
Permissions the app asks for
VPN configuration. Required. The operating system will not let any app route traffic without it, and it is what the connect button switches on. If you decline it, connecting fails with a message asking you to enable it in Settings.
Local network access (iOS and macOS). Optional, and only needed if you want to reach devices on the network you are currently on. See local network access.
Notifications. Optional. Used for team invitations and for telling you when something needs attention.
NFC (iPhone and Android). Used once, during setup, to read the identity of a new vploq device by holding your phone against it.
