For users comparing it against the best VPN options, this update addresses one of the most frequent user requests as the number of available server locations continues to grow.

With over 50 Premium locations now active, the previous flat list had become difficult to navigate. The new version introduces filtering options that let users organize countries by geographic region or alphabetically. Navigation features The latest update places a Filters button to the right of the search field, offering two organization modes.

Users can group countries by world region with alphabetical ordering within each section or maintain a single alphabetical list spanning all locations.
A search bar enables quick lookup by country name.

Users may also mark up to 15 frequently used locations as favorites by
tapping a star icon. This feature works across both the main location screen and the Config Files section.

However, favorites are stored locally on each device and tied to the subscription key. This means favorite selections made on a phone will not
sync to a desktop computer, though the settings persist through app updates and device restarts. Browser proxy for desktop users Amnezia has also introduced a local proxy option for Premium subscribers using Windows, macOS, or Linux. The Xray proxy runs at 127.0.0.1 on port 10808 by default, routing browser traffic through Premium servers without establishing a full system-wide VPN tunnel.

The feature requires the CensorTracker browser extension to function. It operates for a single subscription at a time and automatically stops when the main VPN connection activates. This suits users seeking selective browser routing without affecting other applications on their machine. Additional improvements The update also separates app logs from tunnel logs, giving
users clearer visibility before sending diagnostic data to support.
