What is P2P VPN?
Our P2P (peer-to-peer) servers let you access P2P networks while still protecting your IP address and online activity.
What is a P2P network?
P2P networks allow two devices to connect and transfer data without passing through a central server.
What are P2P networks used for?
• Downloading torrent files
• Improving online gaming and video call performance
• Connecting to local area network (LAN) devices
Tor
Connect to a Tor server to access hidden services and onion sites using any browser.
How to access the Tor network
Server Load
Server load shows how close a server is to its maximum capacity.\n\nA high server load can slow down your connection.
VPN may run slower than normal
High (91-100%)
Lightning fast speeds
Low (1-75%)
Unlikely to affect VPN speed
Medium (76-90%)
What is server load?
Smart Routing
Smart Routing allows us to provide VPN coverage in hard-to-reach countries.
When you connect to a Smart Routing server, you'll appear to be browsing in your destination country, even though the physical server is located elsewhere.
Smart Routing is typically used to get around anti-privacy laws and other forms of censorship.
What is Smart Routing?
Servers are physically located in {0}, but you'll appear to be browsing from {1}
{0} is a placeholder for the physical server location country. {1} is a placeholder for the destination country
Warning: country names are inserted in the nominative case. For INFLECTED languages, use alternative wording as follows:
Connects you to your destination country ({1}) through servers that are physically located somewhere else ({0})
Secure Core
Secure Core connects you to your destination server via a second, maximum security VPN server.
This higher level of protection may cause higher latency and slower speeds.
What is Secure Core?
Standard\nVPN connection
High privacy
Lower latency
Secure Core\nVPN connection
Advanced privacy

VPN IP
VPN IPv4
VPN IPv6
Your IP
IP address
Your IP address is visible
Your VPN IP masks your real IP address. This makes it look like you're browsing from your VPN location, so your online activity can't be linked to your device.
This unique code can be used by websites and ISPs (Internet Service Providers) to link your location and browsing history to your device.
A VPN masks your IP address, making it harder for your activity to be traced back to you.
What is an IP address?
Country
Connect to VPN to change your virtual location
Browsing without a VPN leaves you vulnerable to location-based internet restrictions.
Websites can use geoblocks to restrict content to certain locations. Governments can also instruct ISPs (Internet Service Providers) to block certain websites in their country.
A VPN makes it looks like you're browsing from somewhere else, protecting you from surveillance and censorship.
Provider
Your provider can see which websites you visit
Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is the company that connects you to the internet.
They can log your online activity. In some countries, they can sell your data to advertisers. In others, they can be required to hand it over to the government.
A VPN hides your IP address, protecting you from ISP interference.

Protocol
A VPN protocol determines how traffic is encrypted and transmitted over the VPN.
Which VPN protocol is the best?
Total traffic
Download
Refers to the downloaded volume (e.g., Download [new line] 250 MB).
Upload
Refers to the uploaded volume (e.g., Upload [new line] 250 MB).
Shows the total amount of data passed through the VPN tunnel since you connected.
Current traffic
Download
Refers to the download speed (e.g., Download [new line] 10 MB/s).
Upload
Refers to the upload speed (e.g., Upload [new line] 2.5 MB/s).
Shows how much data goes through the VPN tunnel in real time.
This is based on your device's current activity. In most cases, it doesn't represent the VPN's maximum speed.
