Refer a friend, get 1 month free

The more friends you refer, the more months you get!
Your friend also gets 1 free month.

Note: The referral program works on our Android, Windows and Mac (OpenVPN) apps.

What do you get?

Refer a friend, get 1 free month

You’ll receive 1 free month for every friend who buys NordVPN through your referral link and stays with us for 30 days. The more friends you refer, the more months you get!

As an encouragement, your friends will also receive 1 free month.

How does it work?

Refer in 3 easy steps.

Invite your friend

Refer your friends through your Android, Windows or Mac app by sharing a unique referral link.

Wait 30 days

We need to make sure that your friend still has an account after 30 days — just to keep it fair.

Get rewards!

You and your friend get 1 free month, which will be automatically added to your accounts.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find my referral link?

You can find it in the NordVPN app for Android, Windows or Mac. Open the app, click on Settings, and look for the “Refer a friend” option at the bottom of the menu.

When will I get my rewards?

30 days after your friend buys NordVPN through your referral link — if they still have an active account.

Can I invite friends who used NordVPN before?

Unfortunately — no. The referral program is intended to introduce NordVPN to new users who’ve never tried our service before.

How can I refer my friends?

You can copy the referral link and send it to your friends through email or a messaging app. You can also share the links directly via Facebook, Twitter, Messenger, WhatsApp, WeChat, Instagram, or LinkedIn.

Is there a limit to how many people I can invite?

There is no limit — invite as many people as you want. For each successful referral, you’ll get 1 free month of NordVPN.

I have downloaded the NordVPN macOS app from the App Store. Why can't I find the referral link?

This feature is available only for the apps downloaded from the NordVPN website. Find it here. If you're having trouble setting it up, please contact our support team.
