Onavo is known for their application Onavo Extend, which allows you to compress the size of data that you use so that you can use more data than what your carrier allows you to. Onavo also released Onavo Count in October of last year, which breaks down your data usage application by application in a visually beautiful manner.

Onavo has just released their third application in the iOS App Store called Onavo Protect. The application is basically a free VPN service that doubles as a Wi-Fi security application. Not only will you get the layer of VPN security, but you will also get warned when you are about to enter a malicious or phishing site. Harmful Web sites will be blocked for you automatically for your safety.

Notably, the application will also alert you when you connect to an unsecured Wi-Fi network and let you know when you’re about to share information over a non-secured Web site. These additional features help maintain your privacy and let you decide if you still want to continue with whatever you're doing.
