Strong encryption
Traffic between your device and the VPN server is encrypted with AES-256 or ChaCha20, the same class of ciphers used for online banking.
Example: on train Wi-Fi, other passengers on the network see only scrambled data.
Everything the VPN does to keep your connection private
Each feature below includes a plain-language explanation and a real example of when it helps.
IP address masking
Websites see the IP address of the VPN server, not your own, which makes it harder to link your browsing to your location.
Example: a news site sees a server in Amsterdam instead of your home address range.
No-logs approach
The service is designed not to keep records of the sites you visit or the content of your traffic. Only what is needed to run the connection is processed.
Tip: with any VPN, look for an independent audit of its no-logs policy.
Kill switch
If the VPN connection drops unexpectedly, internet access is blocked until the tunnel is restored, so no data travels unprotected.
Example: your laptop wakes from sleep and briefly loses the VPN. The kill switch holds traffic back.
DNS leak protection
Website address lookups (DNS) go through the encrypted tunnel to private resolvers, instead of leaking to your local network or provider.
Example: typing a site name no longer tells the hotel network where you are going.
Split tunneling
Choose which apps go through the VPN and which use your regular connection. Available on Windows, Android and Linux.
Example: keep the browser on the VPN while the home printer stays reachable directly.
Auto-connect
The app can connect on its own when your device starts or joins a Wi-Fi network you have not marked as trusted.
Example: your phone joins café Wi-Fi and is protected before any app syncs.
Modern protocols
Choose WireGuard for speed, OpenVPN for compatibility with restrictive networks, or IKEv2 for fast reconnection on mobile.
Example: a strict office network blocks WireGuard; OpenVPN over TCP port 443 gets through.
Every device
Apps for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and Linux share the same simple layout, so the steps are the same everywhere.
Example: protect your laptop and phone with the same account.
