Defend against DDoS attacks

If they can’t beat you on the field, underhanded gamers may resort to DDoS attacks for an edge. They’ll flood your IP address with trash data to overwhelm your network, hoping this will throw off your game. NordVPN servers absorb the brunt of DDoS attacks — and if you’re still affected, simply change your IP by switching to another one of our 6800+ servers — we have them in 111 countries around the world!

Access foreign websites and apps

The metaverse is meant to take you beyond real-world boundaries — and with NordVPN, it can do just that. When you connect to a VPN server in another country, your IP address changes, letting you access local websites, explore foreign versions of apps, and shop around for the best deals.

Stream home content while away

The metaverse can take you places — but NordVPN brings your home with you. Never miss an episode from your favorite show, root for your home team live, and keep access to content from your home country while traveling abroad.

Is there a free VPN for Meta Quest 2?

Yes, there are free VPNs for Meta Quest 2. However, most cybersecurity experts recommend staying away from free VPNs if speed and security are important to you. Free VPNs often lack the means and expertise to patch vulnerabilities in time and may cripple your connection speed due to overloaded servers and poor infrastructure. Since maintaining VPN servers is costly, some free services even resort to selling user data in order to cover running costs.

Instead, look into special sales and deals for trusted VPNs. Many providers, including NordVPN, offer significant discounts for long-term plans.
