Contrary to traditional VPN providers, Hoody solely focuses on privacy instead of "geo-unblocking". Using the same IP across all apps can lead to user correlation and compromised anonymity. Even if you only input personal information in one app while using a shared IP, your entire online identity could be at risk.
Hoody solves this problem by allowing you to assign different location modes to individual apps, ensuring that your online activities are compartmentalized and protected. By using different location modes for each app, you significantly reduce the risk of correlation and maintain your privacy, even if one app is compromised.
¶ Location Modes: Tailored to Your Needs
Hoody empowers users to customize their privacy settings on a per-app basis, offering an unprecedented level of control. With Hoody, you can assign one of the following location modes to each app:
- Bulletproof Mode: Your app's traffic is routed through multiple random locations, making it extremely difficult to track or correlate your online activities.
- VPN Mode: The app follows the general OS VPN settings, providing a consistent level of protection across your device.
- Streaming Mode: Optimized for accessing geo-restricted content, ensuring smooth streaming experiences.
- Residential Mode: Routes traffic through residential IP addresses, mimicking the appearance of a regular home ISP connection.
- Use Own IP: Allows you to selectively "leak" your real IP for specific apps while maintaining VPN protection for your OS.
- Tor Mode: Routes your app's traffic through the Tor network for enhanced anonymity.
- Custom Location: Choose from over 45 server locations worldwide to connect your app to a specific region.
- SOCKS5: Utilize a SOCKS5 proxy with custom credentials for added privacy.
Note that while you can select different location modes for each app, Hoody manages the specific Exit IP assigned to ensure optimal privacy and security.
¶ Cross-Platform Compatibility
Hoody is designed to work seamlessly with:
- Windows 10 and Windows 11

Regardless of your operating system, Hoody provides a consistent and user-friendly experience for managing your app-specific privacy settings.
