Why encryption matters

Helps prevent data exposure

Even on public Wi‑Fi, encryption helps protect passwords, personal details, and financial data.

Protects online privacy

Encryption makes browsing activity, downloads, and online identity harder to track.

Helps access a broader internet

In restrictive network environments, encryption helps you access a broader internet more safely.

Why a no-logs policy matters

Protects your privacy

With fewer stored records, there is less information that could reveal your activity.

Helps prevent data exposure

When less data is stored, there is less data that can be leaked, stolen, or requested.

More private use

A good VPN setup can make it harder to link browsing activity back to you personally.

Limits data exposure

If no activity records are stored, there is less user data available to disclose.

Anti-tracking and anti-surveillance features

Additional protections can reduce tracking, ad profiling, and monitoring risks.

Threat Protection

Threat Protection can help block malicious websites, trackers, and intrusive ads.

Ad blocking

It reduces intrusive ads and pop-ups while limiting ad-based tracking.

Malware protection

It can scan and block dangerous websites and files that may contain malware.

Tracker blocking

This helps limit third-party tracking scripts that collect browsing data.

Protection against leaks and monitoring

DNS leak protection

DNS leak protection helps prevent your DNS requests from revealing browsing activity.

Automatic kill switch

If the VPN disconnects, the kill switch can stop traffic to reduce accidental exposure.

Double VPN

Traffic is routed through two VPN servers for an added layer of encryption and stronger protection.

Public Wi‑Fi protection

Use the internet more safely in cafés, airports, hotels, and other public places.

Risks of public Wi‑Fi

Wi‑Fi eavesdropping

Unencrypted public Wi‑Fi can be intercepted, which may expose passwords, payment details, and personal data.

Fake hotspots

Attackers can create fake hotspots that trick users into connecting and expose their traffic.

Malicious software

Compromised hotspots may distribute malware or capture data without the user noticing.
