Extra protection with NordVPN: automatically detect malicious URLs.
NordVPN’s Threat Protection feature will detect malicious URLs while you browse. You will be protected from accidentally ending up on malicious websites or giving away your data to a fake webpage.Threat Protection will scan URLs you’re visiting before connecting to make sure none of them are malicious. It’s absolutely hassle-free — you won’t have to take any extra steps to benefit from NordVPN’s additional online protection.
We use our own tools and third-party sources to keep our information about active malicious URLs up to date.
Whenever you visit a website, NordVPN checks a real-time list of websites known for hosting malware. If the one you’re trying to reach is on the list, NordVPN will block your access and display a warning message instead. You can still visit the website if you wish to, but we strongly recommend you don’t do that.
Sometimes landing on a malicious website is enough to deal serious damage — even if you leave immediately. Scan URLs to protect yourself and your devices from:
Malware — some websites will download malware as soon as you visit them.
Phishing — fake websites can trick you into giving away your personal data.
Spam — prevent being redirected to spammy websites by enabling URL scanning.
Potentially unwanted applications — annoying apps that randomly pop up on your desktop.
If you want NordVPN to scan URLs for viruses, follow these steps:
Open the NordVPN app.
Find the shield icon and click on it.
Toggle the “Block malicious websites” switch on.
