Free VPNs can’t guarantee you actual privacy as most of them collect and sell your info to third parties. Not to mention weaker encryption protocols, bandwidth caps, and poor server options.

With NordVPN, you get what you pay for: unlimited speed, no logging of your activity, military-grade data encryption, thousands of servers worldwide, and knowing that none of your data is being collected or sold. You can check out the full list of our features here.

Yes, you can use NordVPN when traveling. It will help you stay safe on unsecured wireless networks and keep access to the content and sites you’re used to. We also offer an obfuscated server option for countries that restrict VPN usage. Please check our Help Center for further instructions on how to use the obfuscated servers.

You can upgrade your VPN plan anytime — go to your Nord Account profile, select “View details” under NordVPN, then select “Manage plan,” and choose your preferred plan. It will take effect when your current subscription expires.

Once you connect to a server, NordVPN will keep running even when the app is closed, so you can safely surf the net. On iOS and Android, you’ll see an icon in the top system bar indicating an active VPN connection. For desktop apps, look for the NordVPN icon in the system tray on Windows and in the menu bar on macOS – when clicked, it will give more info about your VPN status. If you are worried about unstable connection, turn on the NordVPN Kill Switch feature. It will disable the internet until the VPN connection is restored.
