Why should you use a VPN?
A VPN makes you more secure on public Wi-Fi, helps you access your content safely while traveling, and improves your online privacy.
Protects your internet connection
A VPN adds an extra layer of protection to your daily internet browsing. By encrypting your internet traffic, a VPN helps protect your online activity from hackers—especially when using public Wi-Fi. Whether you're working remotely or browsing on the move, a VPN makes your connection more secure. Traffic traveling through a VPN tunnel is nearly impossible to decrypt.
Unblocks your internet access
Using a VPN helps you bypass online censorship and access the internet more safely without restrictions on freedom of expression. Connect to a remote server for safer and smoother access to social media, gaming, and news content.
Helps enhance your online privacy
With a VPN, you can boost your online privacy and browse as if no one is watching—because no one actually is. Most VPNs have a no-log policy to protect your online activity. A VPN also changes your IP address and virtual location, making it harder for websites, advertisers, and even your internet service provider to track your online behavior.
Global server coverage
NordVPN offers a massive network of servers across 125 locations. With over 7,800 VPN servers, you’ll always find one close to you, no matter where you are. Don’t like switching IP addresses but still want security? Get a dedicated IP and be the only one using it!
The fastest VPN service
Thanks to our wide server network, ultra-light apps, revolutionary NordLynx protocol, and unlimited VPN bandwidth, NordVPN is the fastest VPN provider on the market. Combined, these features allow NordVPN to deliver incredible connection speeds. Our apps offer download speeds of up to 2964 Mbps in the US, 2760 Mbps in the UK, and 2820 Mbps in Japan.
A VPN with built-in malware protection
Block phishing, malicious downloads, dangerous websites, and ads with our Threat Protection Pro™ tool. It’s directly integrated into NordVPN apps for Mac and Windows. Threat Protection Pro™ blocks millions of phishing 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 alerts you immediately if your credentials are leaked. This allows you to act quickly and protect your accounts before criminals cause harm.
Protection against online tracking
We don’t log your online activity, so what you do on the internet is your business alone. Need more privacy than a regular VPN can offer? When you enable Threat Protection Pro™, it even blocks third-party trackers from following you online.
Secure encryption for your internet traffic
NordVPN uses AES-256 encryption to secure your internet traffic before sending it through a safe VPN tunnel. Encryption scrambles your online data so much that it can’t be viewed or used by prying eyes—breaking it would be virtually impossible.
