Overview
Install the app for the device, sign in to an appropriate subscription and choose the connection settings. Optional routing and protection features have platform-specific behaviour; a VPN does not independently verify a website, account or downloaded file.2
What you can do
- Route supported device traffic through the selected VPN connection.2
- Use DNS leak-protection functionality within the VPN service.1
- Use a Kill Switch to limit unprotected traffic after a VPN disconnect.1
- Choose supported VPN protocols such as NordLynx where available.1
- Use Double VPN routing when it fits the supported app and server selection.1
- Choose selected applications or website exclusions through supported split-tunnelling options.3

Ways to use it
Ideas based on documented features.
Before you start
- The free app download does not include the main VPN service; that service requires a subscription.2
- The cited split-tunnelling page lists Android, Android TV and Windows, with website exclusions in browser extensions; excluded traffic uses the normal connection and IP.3
- The current service description limits one subscription to ten simultaneous supported devices.1
