NordVPN

Cybersecurity built for every day

More than a VPN

A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and changes your IP address. Once you connect to a VPN server, no one else — not even your internet service provider — can monitor your online activity.

But NordVPN is more than just a VPN. NordVPN’s Threat Protection feature protects you against everyday hazards like malware and ads.

Our Dark Web Monitor warns you if your account credentials are discovered in criminal havens, letting you take action early. Meshnet lets you easily connect devices together for safe file sharing, work, and LAN gaming.

NordVPN is not just an award-winning VPN — it’s a comprehensive tool for a safer, better everyday online experience.

NordVPN’s Threat Protection feature stops online hazards from ruining your online experience and creating headaches down the road

Block hidden malware in your downloads

WHY? Viruses and malware love to piggyback on popular downloads. Once your device is infected, hackers can spy on you, steal passwords, or even hold your files at ransom.

HOW? Threat Protection scans files as you download them and warns you of any danger.

Block flashy and annoying ads

WHY? Many websites are riddled with intrusive and resource-intensive ads that can grind your browsing experience to a halt.

HOW? Threat Protection blocks ads before they load, letting you surf without interruption.

Avoid deceptive links to dangerous sites

WHY? The web is full of fake and malicious websites. Some pages masquerade as popular services to steal your login information. Others automatically fire off scripts to infect your device.

HOW? Threat Protection checks links you click and blocks access if you’re in danger.

Stop web trackers in their tracks

WHY? Websites use trackers to analyze your traffic for marketing purposes. Trackers violate your privacy and put you at risk — your digital profile can open you to scams and cyberattacks.

HOW? Threat Protection blocks web trackers for a safe and smooth browsing experience.
