Mimicry VPN

Support

Mimicry VPN is a lightweight VPN client. You connect using a configuration provided by your server operator — there are no accounts and nothing to sign up for.

Getting started

Get a connection configuration from your server operator first — as a file or a QR code. The steps differ slightly between platforms.

iPhone and iPad

Import the configuration: open the file with Mimicry, or scan the QR code from the Servers screen.
Select the server and tap Connect.

Mac

Mimicry runs in the menu bar — there is no Dock window. Its icon appears at the top right of the screen; click it to open the app. On first launch it shows a short notice about what happens to your data.

Click the menu bar icon, then Settings… (⌘,).
Click Add server in the sidebar, then either paste the configuration JSON into the field or click Import from File… and pick the file. Click Import.
Close Settings, click the menu bar icon and press Connect. macOS asks for permission to add a VPN configuration the first time — allow it.

The Mac app has no QR scanner — configurations are pasted or opened from a file instead. If your operator sent you a QR code, ask them for the same configuration as text or a .json file.

Frequently asked questions

The tunnel won’t connect

Check that your date and time are set automatically. On iPhone and iPad: Settings → General → Date & Time → Set Automatically. On a Mac: System Settings → General → Date & Time → Set time and date automatically. The connection fails if the clock is off by more than a minute.
Make sure you imported the most recent configuration from your server operator. If in doubt, ask them for a fresh one and re-import it.
Change networks and try again — on iPhone or iPad switch between Wi-Fi and cellular, or briefly enable Airplane Mode; on a Mac switch between Wi-Fi and Ethernet, or turn Wi-Fi off and on.

I have no internet access and can’t turn the VPN off

If the kill switch is enabled, all traffic outside the tunnel is blocked by design. Disconnect from within the app — this always lifts the block, even when the tunnel itself is unresponsive. On iPhone and iPad open Mimicry and tap Disconnect; on a Mac click the Mimicry icon in the menu bar and press Disconnect.

Where do I get a server?

Mimicry is a client app: it doesn’t come with bundled servers. Use the configuration from the person or organization that invited you, or run your own server.

Does the app collect any data?

No. The app has no accounts, analytics, ads, or third-party SDKs, and nothing is sent to the developer. See the Privacy Policy for details.
