Homeward VPN
A VPN that goes both ways: your home as the exit, or an exit anywhere, with one switch.
About
Homeward is the VPN that goes both ways. Make your own home the exit the internet sees, so your accounts, your streaming library, and the devices on your home network treat you as if you were on the couch. Or step out through an exit anywhere else. One app, one switch, for Mac and iPhone.
Pick Home, Away, or Home network only. Home sends your traffic out through your own house. Away exits through a country you choose and hides your address from the coffee shop. Home network only sends just your house through the tunnel, so your NAS, printer, cameras, and smart home answer while everything else stays fast and local.
Trust rules learn your week: name the networks you trust, and Homeward connects itself on the airport, hotel, and cafe Wi-Fi. A kill switch enforced at the firewall stops downloads the instant the tunnel stops, and filtered resolvers on the home tunnel block ads and trackers for everyone in the house.
The Network tab explains a slow connection in one plain sentence, runs a real check, and asks your house whether it is ready before you travel: power connected, sleep prevented, and the tunnel server answering. Setup is a three-step wizard, and each phone, iPad, and laptop joins by scanning its own code.
Home, Away, and Home network only
One switch picks where you exit: through your house, through an exit anywhere else, or just your house for the devices on your home network.
Trust rules that learn your life
Name the networks you trust and Homeward connects on every other one, offering to learn each new Wi-Fi you join.
Kill switch at the firewall
Downloads stop the instant the tunnel does, enforced at the firewall on a Mac you own.
Ad and tracker blocking
Filtered resolvers ride the home tunnel, so every device that joins browses lighter.
A speed answer in plain words
When a connection feels slow, Homeward says whether the Wi-Fi, the tunnel, your line, or the site is the cause.
Wake your Mac and ask the house
Send a wake-up through the tunnel to your home Mac, and check its power, sleep, and server status before a trip.
