A VPN adds an extra layer of protection to your daily browsing. By encrypting your internet traffic, a VPN helps you shield your online activity from hackers, especially when you're using public Wi-Fi. Whether you're working remotely or browsing on the go, a VPN makes your connection safer — it’s virtually impossible to unencrypt internet traffic that's traveling through a VPN tunnel.

Unblocks your internet access

Using a VPN allows you to bypass online censorship and access the internet more safely without restrictions on freedom of speech. Connect to a remote server for safer and smoother access to your social media, games, and news content.

Helps boost your online privacy

With a VPN, you can improve your online privacy and browse like no one’s watching — because no one is. Most VPNs have a no-logs policy in place to safeguard your online activity. To take it even further, a VPN changes your IP address and virtual location, making it more difficult for websites, advertisers, and even your internet service provider to track your moves online.

Global coverage

NordVPN offers a massive network of servers across 118 locations. Over 7,800 VPN servers allow you to find one nearby, no matter where you are. Not a fan of changing IP addresses but want the security? Get a dedicated IP and be the only one to use it!

The fastest VPN service¹

NordVPN is the fastest VPN provider on the market thanks to our vast server network, ultralight applications, revolutionary NordLynx protocol, and unlimited VPN bandwidth. These features combined allow NordVPN to deliver amazing connection speeds to our users. Our apps offer download speeds of up to 2964 Mb/s in the US, 2760 Mb/s in the UK, and 2820 Mb/s in Japan.

A VPN with integrated anti-malware tool

Block phishing, malicious downloads, dangerous websites, and ads with Threat Protection Pro™ — our anti-malware tool. It’s integrated directly into the NordVPN apps for Mac and Windows. Threat Protection Pro™ blocks millions of scam and phishing websites and malware attempts every month and prevents billions of intrusive ads from loading.

A VPN with Dark Web Monitor

Our VPN app comes with Dark Web Monitor — a service that continuously scans the dark web and instantly alerts you about leaked credentials. It allows you to act fast and protect your accounts before criminals can do any harm.

Protection from online tracking

We don’t log your online activity, so what you do online is only your business. Need more privacy than a regular VPN can give? Enable Threat Protection Pro™, and it will even block third-party trackers from following you around the internet.

Secure encryption for your internet traffic

NordVPN uses the AES-256 encryption protocol to encrypt your internet traffic before sending it through a secure VPN tunnel. The encryption scrambles your online data so much that no snoopers can view or use it — brute-forcing the cipher is virtually impossible.

Online protection

Enjoy an effortless experience every time you go online: Avoid downloading malware, and block phishing, snoopers, trackers, and ads.

Password security

Add a premium password manager to the mix: it will generate, auto-fill, and store your passwords for you. No more endless resets!
