Introduction and value of using VPN:

VPN stands for “virtual private network” – a service that encrypts your Internet traffic and protects your online identity. VPN redirects your connection to the Internet through a remote server run by a VPN provider. The server becomes a secure launching pad before you access various websites. This will hide your IP address and encrypt all the data that is sent or received. The encrypted data is essentially gibberish to anyone who intercepts it, making it impossible to read.

VPN offers you security and privacy specially if you are frequently using public network or travel a lot. Even when browsing online in the comfort of your own home, using a VPN is a pretty good idea to shield your browsing from third parties and to avoid government surveillance. It also makes it much more difficult for your ISP to detect that you are sharing files and shape your Internet connection accordingly.

Using VPN can also help you in your job. For example; journalist or political activist in some countries don't have the same protections for freedom of press, speech, and expression that most democratic countries have. VPN provides extra security for such sensitive messages and makes it look like they are being received or sent from a different location.

Secure streaming:

NordVPN offers more than 4840 ultra fast servers in 62 countries so that you can enjoy your streaming experience on any device, at any place and any time. With NordVPN, you don’t have to choose between entertainment and online security – you can have both at the same time.

Strict no-logs policy:

NordVPN is based away from the EU and US jurisdictions and is not required to collect your personal data and information. That means nothing is recorded, monitored, stored, logged or passed to third parties. We cannot provide any details about your Internet activity even if you request it yourself. Why? Because we have nothing to provide.

You can secure up to 6 devices with a single NordVPN account – computers, smartphones, routers, and more. VPN has never been easier and more flexible: at home, in the office, and on the go.

Multiple platforms and devices:

With a single NordVPN account, you can protect up to 6 devices at the same time without having to compromise the security and privacy of one device for another. NordVPN offers intuitive and easy-to-use apps for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.  You can even set up NordVPN on your home router!

GET The android app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...pn.android

It's a free VPN for first 7 days. Cancel anytime. (Credit Card Required)

GET The iPhone version:
https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store...53485?mt=8

OpenVPN protocols:

If you want to set up the OpenVPN protocol manually, you can easily do that by using the OpenVPN GUI open-source software.

Double VPN:

Double VPN adds an extra high level of security and privacy with encryption of your Internet traffic twice. It is especially relevant to journalists, political activists and bloggers working and living in countries with authoritarian governments along with high-level Internet censorship and surveillance.
The traffic from your computer will be encrypted to the first server, then the encrypted traffic is encrypted again and sent out to the second node, which ships the packets to the internet. Additionally,  the connections are mixed between TCP and UDP which also increases security

Obfuscated servers:

While using NordVPN in restricted countries, turn on Obfuscated servers to prevent your VPN traffic from being blocked.

Advanced features:

Kill Switch:

NordVPN for Windows allows you to specify which programs should be shut down by Kill Switch if VPN connection drops. There are two key differences in the Kill Switch functionality in NordVPN applications; the PC and the mobile forms. The mobile form is different from the usual PC form in the way it works. It disables system-wide internet access if the VPN connection suddenly disconnects; that way it protects all apps, without terminating them.

Custom DNS:

Our Windows app allows you to configure your device manually to use your preferred DNS servers, other than NordVPN’s.

Get assistance 24/7, the support team is always available at any time to help you. During troubleshooting with Customer Support team, they may ask you to upload the connection log files of the desktop NordVPN application to help diagnose the issue. You can do this easily using the advanced option diagnostics tool

DNS leak test:

NordVPN Implements IPv6 Leak Protection:

IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol was introduced to replace the IP version 4, allowing more users and devices to generate more complex IP addresses. if a NordVPN customer were to have an IPv6 IP address, their IPv6 interface would be blocked and only IPv4 traffic would be rerouted and encrypted with NordVPN, which ensures that your real IP address never leaks
