Frequently Asked Questions
JavidGorz was created by an independent individual with a deep love for Iran and its people. Inspired by the courage of those who have stood up for their basic freedoms, this project is a heartfelt contribution toward ensuring that the people of Iran can stay connected to the world and to each other. Access to information is a fundamental human right, and JavidGorz exists to protect that right.
Right now, our focus is entirely on serving users inside Iran who need this the most. Our servers and infrastructure are still limited, and we want to make sure the experience is reliable for those who depend on it every day. As we grow and receive more support from the wider community, we plan to expand to Google Play, the App Store, and other platforms. For now, you can download the app directly from this website or our Telegram channel.
Yes, JavidGorz is completely free. There are no hidden costs, no ads, and no data collection. The project is maintained by volunteers who believe in internet freedom. There is no catch. If you would like to help us keep it running, we welcome any support, whether that is spreading the word, contributing your skills, or helping with server costs.
Please be patient. JavidGorz automatically tries multiple different paths to get you connected. If one route is blocked, it moves to the next one on its own, so you don't need to do anything. This process can sometimes take up to a minute, especially during periods of heavy internet restrictions. Just leave the app open and let it work.
Under normal conditions, the speed is good enough for regular browsing, messaging, social media, and video calls. During periods of heavy restrictions, the app may use alternative routes that are slower but still keep you connected. Think of it like a detour: it gets you there, but it might take a little longer. The app always picks the fastest available path automatically.
Green means you are connected and everything is working well. Yellow means you are connected, but the app is using an alternative route, so things may be a bit slower than usual. Red means the app is not connected. If you see red, try turning the connection off and on again, or switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
First, don't worry, this happens sometimes, especially during heavy restrictions. Try these simple steps: turn the connection off and back on using the button in the app. If that doesn't work, try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data. You can also close the app completely and reopen it. During the most severe restrictions, it may take a little longer to find a working path, so please give it a minute or two. The app is designed to keep trying until it finds a way through.
JavidGorz was specifically designed with the most extreme situations in mind. Even during severe internet restrictions, the app has special ways of finding a path to keep you connected. The speed may be slower during these times, but the goal is to make sure you are never completely cut off. This is one of the things that makes JavidGorz different.
Yes. JavidGorz is smart about what it handles. Your everyday Iranian apps, local services, and domestic websites continue to work at full speed without going through JavidGorz. Only the traffic that needs help reaching the open internet is handled by the app.
No. All your internet activity is fully protected while using JavidGorz. Nobody, not your internet provider, not your network administrator, and not even us, can see what you are doing online. We keep no records and have no way to identify you. Your privacy is the entire point of this project.
When you turn on the kill switch in the app, it acts as a safety net. If your connection to JavidGorz drops for any reason, the kill switch immediately blocks all internet traffic on your Mac so that nothing leaks out unprotected. Your internet will stay blocked until you either reconnect or turn off the kill switch. To make this work, your Mac may ask for your password the first time, because blocking traffic at the system level requires administrator permission. This is normal and safe. On Android, the kill switch works automatically without any extra steps.
