What makes NordVPN the most advanced VPN?
Speed
NordVPN is the fastest VPN provider on the market thanks to our vast server network and revolutionary NordLynx protocol. These features, combined with ultralight applications and unlimited VPN bandwidth, allow NordVPN to deliver an amazing browsing experience to our users.
Servers
NordVPN’s massive network of VPN servers caters to all needs. Not a fan of constantly changing IP addresses but want the security? Get a dedicated IP and be the only one to use it! Want extra privacy? Use the Double VPN servers and encrypt your connection twice. Need to connect to a VPN in a heavily restrictive environment? Use our obfuscated servers to even hide the fact you’re using a VPN.
Meshnet
You can download NordVPN and use the Meshnet feature for free to share files, play LAN games, route traffic, or access your other devices remotely.
Protocols
NordVPN uses advanced VPN protocols to keep your internet connection secure. You can choose from multiple protocols:
OpenVPN: For industry-standard reliability.
NordLynx: For lightning-fast performance.
NordWhisper: For bypassing blocks and firewalls in restrictive networks.
All NordVPN apps also support post-quantum encryption, ensuring your online traffic remains protected against future quantum computing attacks.
Proactive, not reactive
NordVPN's next-gen antivirus blocks threats in real time, before they can reach you or your device.
Scam and phishing protection. You won’t have to deal with dangerous websites, fake shops, and phishing links — NordVPN blocks them in real time, before you enter your password or lose money.
Malware protection. Your devices will be protected from viruses and other malware — NordVPN will scan all your downloading files. No reactive cleanup, damage, or heavy software slowing you down.
Ad and tracker blocking. Limit online tracking and intrusive ads — NordVPN will automatically block them, so you don’t have to worry about websites gathering extensive personal information about you.
Lightweight by design. No bulky software hogging your system. Next-gen antivirus runs quietly inside the NordVPN app you already have.
Privacy-first. Data in your files or from your browsing activity is never collected, stored, or sent to third parties. We use proprietary machine learning models — not external AI engines.
Know when your data is exposed — before someone uses it
Data breaches are increasingly common, with more and more stolen passwords and personal data ending up for sale on dark web marketplaces. Most people find out too late, but with Dark Web Monitor Pro™ watching your back, you can stay on top of these threats and monitor your:
Passwords. Get alerted if your credentials appear in a known breach so you can change them before your accounts are compromised.
Credit card details. Monitoring your credit card numbers allows you to freeze or replace a card if it ends up leaked — before mysterious charges appear on your bill.
Social Security number and personal IDs. If your personal data surfaces on the dark web, you'll know immediately, giving you time to act before someone steals your identity.

What is a VPN?
VPN meaning: A VPN, which stands for virtual private network, is a tool that protects your online activity from spying eyes. It makes your online traffic safer from cybercriminals by encrypting it and sending it through a secure tunnel. Every time you connect to the internet, your traffic is routed through a remote VPN server first. This way, a VPN changes your IP address and virtual location, giving you safer and more private access to the internet.
