Each Lisar profile can represent a different connection use case. You can keep one profile for everyday personal access, another for travel, and another for business routing when your plan supports it.
Plan limits such as speed, quota, sessions, GeoDNS, DNS AdBlock and Custom Exit availability are shown before setup so users can choose the right profile type before connecting.
Lisar Connect is available for Android. Compatible standard clients remain an option: use L2TP/IPsec where the device or router and network support it, or import a .ovpn profile in OpenVPN Connect where L2TP/IPsec is unavailable, unsupported, or unsuitable.
Choose the setup path that fits your device and eligible profile. The Android app and manual client setup have different steps.
Lisar plans can include features such as GeoDNS, DNS AdBlock and Custom Exit depending on the selected plan. These features are designed for users who need more control over entry behavior, DNS behavior, or exit routing.
Business and custom routing scenarios are reviewed separately when manual setup, company requirements, or custom network behavior is needed.
