FAQ
Introduction to Enterprise Administrator Functions 
If you are an enterprise user, you can use our enterprise administrator account function, which allows you to freely assign different employee accounts. The accounts are completely independent and the traffic is not shared.
The accounts of enterprise employees are all our highest level, with no traffic restrictions and the same functions as ordinary users.
The administrator can revoke the account at any time and change the password, etc.
Does the 5UF iOS app use a lot of battery?
Some users notice that the 5UF app seems to use a large share of battery in the iPhone battery report.
In most cases, this is because once VPN is enabled, iOS counts a large part of network activity under the VPN app. It does not necessarily mean the 5UF app itself is consuming abnormal battery.
A simple way to understand it:
- After VPN is enabled, app traffic goes through the VPN tunnel.
- iOS often attributes part of that network activity to the VPN app in battery statistics.
- So a higher percentage does not automatically mean the app itself is using excessive battery.
Under normal usage, you usually do not need to do anything special.
If the battery drain still feels unusually high, try:
- Updating to the latest 5UF app
- Testing again on another network
- Closing unused background apps
- Restarting the phone and checking again
If the issue remains clearly abnormal, contact support and provide your device model, iOS version, and battery screenshot.

How to choose protocol (with compatibility password)
Different protocols trade off speed, stealth, and compatibility. Use the table on the Chinese page to pick one for your network; “compat password” behaviour is explained there.
Why not more servers? Is the speed guaranteed?

Do I still need mobile data or Wi-Fi when using a VPN?
Yes. A VPN does not replace your phone's internet connection. It works as an encrypted tunnel built on top of your existing network connection.
That means:
- If you are using mobile data, the VPN works through your mobile data connection.
- If you are using Wi-Fi, the VPN works through Wi-Fi.
- If your phone has no internet access at all, the VPN cannot connect either.
A VPN encrypts and routes your traffic. It does not replace your carrier connection, and it cannot give you internet access when the device itself is offline.
If you are a new user, we recommend using the latest 5UF VPN app for a simpler and more stable experience.
Why pay for 5UF VPN when there are free proxies?
Many sites offer free proxies or “free VPN” tools. Paid services like 5UF fund real servers, support, security updates, and long-term reliability. This article explains our value in more detail—please refer to the Chinese page for the full text.
