How Tunari VPN Protects HomeProof Users: Document Privacy on Public Wi-Fi

We're excited to share our partnership between Tunari VPN and the HomeProof team, an iOS app that turns your phone into a secure vault for household documents. In this article, we look at why connection privacy matters so much for the kind of data HomeProof stores, and how a VPN adds to the app's own protections.

What HomeProof Stores, and Why It's Sensitive

HomeProof helps you keep everything related to your home in one place: purchase receipts, warranty cards, appliance serial numbers, documents for household devices. At first glance these look like everyday odds and ends, but in reality this is financially sensitive information.

• Receipts show what you bought, where, and for how much.
• Serial numbers and warranties are essentially an inventory of the valuables in your home.
• Purchase dates and device models add up to a detailed profile of your household.

This isn't data you want strangers looking at. And while the app itself is responsible for storing your documents neatly and securely, the security of the channel that data travels through is a job for the network layer — which is where a VPN comes in.

Where the Risk Shows Up: Public Wi-Fi

Picture a typical scenario. You're at a café, the airport, or a hotel, and you open the app to snap a photo of a new receipt or check a warranty date. Your phone connects to an open Wi-Fi network — and right at that moment, your data crosses a network you don't control.

Public hotspots are convenient, but they come with a few things worth keeping in mind:

• Traffic on open networks is easier to intercept than on your home network.
• You rarely know who actually set up and runs the access point.
• Rogue hotspots using familiar-looking names are a well-documented trick.

That doesn't mean every public Wi-Fi connection ends in a leak. But when it comes to your documents, it's worth erring on the side of caution.

How a VPN Complements the App's Protection

Tunari VPN builds an encrypted tunnel between your device and our server. Data leaving your phone ends up inside that protected channel before it ever touches the café's or hotel's local network.

Here's what that means in practice for a HomeProof user:

• Traffic encryption. We use modern AES-256 encryption along with the WireGuard and VLESS protocols — the same class of protection used in serious enterprise systems.
• Privacy on networks you don't own. To whoever runs that public hotspot, your traffic looks like a single encrypted stream, not a set of readable requests.
• A strict no-logs policy. We don't keep records of your activity — no connection history is stored or shared with third parties.
• Works across all your devices. One connection protects up to 10 devices at once: your iPhone running HomeProof, your laptop, and your tablet.

It's worth understanding the boundaries here: the app encrypts and stores your documents on its end, and the VPN protects the transmission channel itself. These are two distinct, complementary layers. Together, they cover both storage and transit.

An Honest Approach to Privacy

We're not in the business of promising "total anonymity" or a way around any rules. A VPN is a privacy and connection-security tool, not a magic button. Our job is simpler and more honest than that: make sure your documents travel over a protected route while you're out, instead of an open network where anyone nearby can see them.

That's exactly why partnering with HomeProof made sense to us. Both products are built around the same idea — your personal data belongs to you alone. HomeProof takes care of keeping your documents organized and safe; Tunari takes care of the privacy of the channel you use to reach them, from anywhere in the world.

Try a Protected Connection

If you use HomeProof and often open the app away from home, adding a protected channel is a sensible move. Tunari runs 14 servers across 9 countries, accepts card, SBP, or USDT payments, and keeps a clear no-logs policy.

You can start without a card: 7 days free through our bot, @TunariVPNBot. Connect a private tunnel and work with your documents from a café, airport, or hotel without worrying about who else is on that Wi-Fi network. Learn more at tunarivpn.com.
