Arizona Tribune - SingLinkVPN Announces Free Plan Expansion and SingLink 2.0 Beta Protocol Amid Rising Privacy Needs in Hong Kong

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2026 / SingLinkVPN, a privacy and network access service operated by SingLink Corporation (BVI), announced the continued expansion of its SingLinkFree Plan and the advancement of SingLinkVPN 2.0, its latest cross-platform product generation powered by the SingLink 2.0 Beta proprietary protocol layer.

Known in Simplified Chinese as 星连VPN and Traditional Chinese as 星連VPN, SingLinkVPN is headquartered in the British Virgin Islands. The service is available across iOS, macOS, Windows, Android, Linux and Apple TV, and its iOS app is listed in major App Store markets and regions, including the United States, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Canada, Australia and South Korea, etc.

SingLinkVPN's official changelog shows that the Free Plan was introduced in late April 2026. The iOS v2.0.5 update on April 22 added the free plan node system, while the April 28 iOS v2.0.6 update upgraded the free usage plan system and added free nodes. On May 1, Android v2.0.8 brought the free usage plan system and free nodes to Android. SingLinkVPN said the Free Plan is now available across iOS, macOS, Windows, Android, Linux and Apple TV.

According to Apple App Store chart data reviewed by SingLinkVPN, the SingLinkVPN iOS app reached No. 44 in Hong Kong's free Utilities chart on May 5, 2026. On the App Store, the app is published through SingLinkVPN's subsidiary, SingLink LLC, which is displayed as the developer.

SingLinkVPN's development history dates back to 2013, when SingLink began providing VPN and private network services primarily for enterprise users. In 2023, the company expanded into consumer-facing applications, making its VPN technology available to a broader public audience. In 2026, SingLinkVPN entered its 2.0 product generation, a cross-platform upgrade that introduced a redesigned client experience, a new proprietary protocol kernel, smart routing and platform-specific performance improvements. SingLink 2.0 Beta refers to the protocol layer of this upgrade and is being developed to improve connection resilience, transport-layer stability and usability in increasingly complex network environments.

The expansion comes as users in Hong Kong and other markets face growing online privacy and cybersecurity concerns. According to Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre data released in January 2026, Hong Kong recorded 15,877 cybersecurity incidents in 2025, a record high and a 27% year-over-year increase. Phishing accounted for 57% of reported incidents.

"SingLinkVPN was built around a simple idea: privacy tools should be practical, accessible and easy to keep using." said David Johnson, Founder of SingLinkVPN. "SingLink 2.0 represents a major optimization at both the security and transport layers. It is designed for today's more complex network conditions, with a focus on improving connection resilience, reducing interference-related failures and strengthening transport-layer stability."

SingLink 2.0 Beta is the company's new proprietary VPN protocol kernel. The company's March 2026 development plan described the 2.0 upgrade as a cross-platform update featuring a redesigned experience, smart routing and platform-specific improvements.

SingLinkVPN states that its service is intended for lawful use only and that users are responsible for complying with applicable local laws and service terms.
