Free, fast, and secure VPN for Android.
What it does
FortVPN is a free and fast VPN for Android. It encrypts your traffic, hides your real IP, and keeps you private on any network — including public Wi-Fi.

Rated 4.8/5 on Google Play.
Qatar's rule targets unlicensed VoIP, not your own calls. Honest look at WhatsApp calling, DPI filters, and lawful VPN use in Doha.
Qatar's VoIP rule is usually described in terms of licensing and the provision of services, not in terms of you making a call. Personal voice calls for your own use are generally allowed, while unlicensed commercial VoIP is restricted. In practice, the availability of consumer calling apps can vary by network and time. This guide uses that lens to look at Ooredoo, Vodafone, and WhatsApp calls since around 2017. The CRA regulates VoIP licensing under Telecommunications Law 34 of 2006. In practice, whether calling apps work for you can depend on your network, your plan, and how the service is provided — not only on whether you use a VPN. Allowed: Voice and video calls for their own use are…from fortvpn.co

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up. One…
