Strong protection is switched on from the first connection. Fine-tune it later if you like.

Protocol speed

Relative throughput, illustrative

WireGuard is usually the fastest, followed by IKEv2 and then OpenVPN. Actual speed depends on your network and server distance.

Kill switch

On

If the VPN connection drops, internet access pauses so nothing leaks outside the tunnel.

Split tunneling

Choose which apps use the VPN and which go direct.

  • Web browser VPN
  • Email app VPN
  • Network printer Direct
  • Local game Direct

One tap to connect

The app picks the fastest nearby server automatically.

See the difference(01)

What the network sees, with and without the VPN

Press the button to switch the example. Without a VPN, the Wi-Fi operator can see which sites you open and the sites see your real IP address. With the VPN, they see only encrypted data going to the VPN server.

Example: café Wi-Fi

Connected · traffic encrypted
Your IP seen by websites185.•••.•••.24 (VPN server)
Café network seesEncrypted data to one server
Websites you log in toStill know it is you

A VPN hides your traffic from the local network and your IP from websites. It does not hide your identity from services you sign in to.

Everyday use cases(02)

Where a VPN makes a difference

Real situations where an encrypted connection protects your data. See worked examples →

Café Wi-FiPublic hotspot

Check your bank balance on an open network with the connection encrypted all the way to the VPN server.

Hotel networkShared with every guest

Keep work email and logins private on a network shared by hundreds of strangers.

Airport loungeTravel

Use the airport network for boarding passes and messages without exposing your traffic.

Remote workWorking from anywhere

Add a layer of protection to video calls and documents wherever you open your laptop.

Home networkEveryday privacy

Stop your internet provider from seeing which sites you visit. It sees only a connection to the VPN.

Travel abroadFamiliar connection

Connect to a server in your home country to reach your usual services, where their terms allow it.

Mobile on the goAuto-connect

Let the app connect automatically whenever your phone joins an unknown Wi-Fi network.

Online shoppingSecure checkout

Enter card details on a shared network with an extra layer of encryption on top of HTTPS.

The problem.

Why open networks put your data at risk

RISK

Shared Wi-Fi is exposed

On open hotspots, other people on the same network or the operator can observe unencrypted traffic and which sites you visit.

CHALLENGE

Your IP reveals a lot

Every site you visit sees your IP address, which points to your approximate location and internet provider.

VPN SOLUTION

How the VPN solves it

The VPN encrypts everything between your device and the VPN server and shows websites the server's IP address instead of yours.
