Core connection

Glacier Core is a VPN built into Glacier Chat that leverages Glacier's moving network to provide data security, obfuscation, and privacy for all apps on your device. You can find out more information about Glacier Core here.

This feature is available ✔️ for: Plan: Pro, Enterprise, and Guardian Platform: Android and iOS

A Core profile is a configuration that instructs your phone to encrypt and send your data to one of Glacier's global entry nodes. Typically profiles are named after the geolocation of the entry node (i.e. Virginia, Frankfurt).

Android

How to enable Core

Before enabling Core, make sure you've installed Glacier Core for Android. The app will automatically direct to you the Play Store if Core is not installed.

From the Glacier Chat menu, tap Core Connection. Select a profile and toggle the Use Secure Core switch. When your connection is established a key icon will appear in your Android status bar.
