A VPN (virtual private network) is a service that encrypts your internet traffic and protects your online identity.
Typically, when you try to access a website on the internet, you start by connecting to your internet service provider (ISP). They redirect you to any websites (or other online resources) that you wish to visit. All your internet traffic passes through your ISP’s servers, which means they can see and log everything you do online. They may even hand your browsing history over to advertisers, government agencies, and other third parties.
Here’s where a VPN comes into play. It redirects your internet traffic through a specially configured remote server. This way, the VPN hides your IP address and encrypts all the data you send or receive. The encrypted data looks like gibberish to anyone who intercepts it—it is impossible to read.
Using military-grade encryption, the NordVPN encrypts online traffic, protects your IP address, and offers secure access to censored or restricted content—all within just a few steps. Plus, it works with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, so you can enjoy secure, fast, unlimited Internet access anytime, anywhere.
Military-Grade Encryption
NordVPN protects you by securing your internet traffic with cutting-edge technologies. It ensures strong and reliable encryption between your device and a remote server. NordVPN apps use the OpenVPN and IKEv2/IPSec protocols to guarantee the ultimate protection of your sensitive data.
Strict No-Logs Policy
NordVPN is based away from the EU and US jurisdictions and is not required to collect your personal data. That means we we don't keep any logs of what you do online. We can't provide any details about your internet activity even if you request it yourself. Why? Because we have nothing to provide.
CyberSec
The CyberSec feature blocks suspicious websites so that no malware or other cyber threats can infect your device. It also protects your device from botnet control even if malware has already infected it. Besides, CyberSec prevents intrusive online ads from loading and slowing down your browser.
Double VPN
If you need an extra level of online security and privacy, use Double VPN to send your traffic through two VPN servers. It is especially relevant to journalists, political activists, and bloggers. Or anyone who works and lives in a country with high internet censorship and surveillance.
DNS Leak Protection
When you connect to NordVPN, your device only uses DNS servers operated by NordVPN. All your DNS requests stay encrypted within the VPN tunnel. This way, you never have to worry about your confidential information leaking and third parties spying on it.
Secure Streaming
With NordVPN, you don’t have to choose between entertainment and online security – you can have both at the same time. NordVPN offers more than 5604 ultra fast servers in 60 countries. It allows you to enjoy your streaming experience on any device, at any place, and any time.
VPN Apps for Every Device
NordVPN offers intuitive and easy-to-use apps for all major operating systems: Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and Linux. Which is good, because you can protect 6 devices with a single NordVPN account.
