Secure gaming with a VPN

DDoS attacks in online games

Online gaming is sensitive to any latency, so a DDoS attack can destroy your efforts and all progress in a snap. Since NordVPN changes your IP address, wrongdoers can only launch an attack on the VPN server but not on your network. A VPN provides you with digital armor to fight wily opponents and enhance your security when playing online games.

Secure your traffic

Don’t let anyone see what you do online. Use NordVPN and encrypt all the data you send and receive. This way, even if someone managed to intercept your connection, they wouldn’t be able to see your credentials, messages, or what websites you’re visiting.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use a VPN when I play online?

Definitely. Whether it’s your home network or public Wi-Fi, you can never be sure if somebody’s not snooping around your data. NordVPN offers top-notch encryption to keep you secure no matter where you are. Nervous about a possible DDoS attack on your online game? Don’t be. With NordVPN, you’ll be safe from online threats while gaming.

How do I set up a VPN when I play games online?

If you’re a PC gamer, download our VPN app for Windows. But if you play games on a console, install NordVPN on your Wi-Fi router. Once the device you’re gaming on is connected to a VPN, you can start your game and enjoy fast and secure gameplay.

Does VPN help reduce my ping in online games?

When you use a VPN while gaming, you are likely to lose some speed. Your data has to travel to a VPN server first before reaching your destination. So no matter what VPN you use, in most cases, it will not reduce your ping.

Which server is the best for online gaming?

Finding the best gaming VPN server could be difficult, but not with NordVPN. Once you open the app, click the Quick Connect button and you’ll be automatically connected to the best server for you.
