Your device
VPN server
An encrypted connection.
Zenshield encrypts the connection between your device and the VPN server for traffic routed through it.
Keep using HTTPS and normal device security. A VPN doesn’t make every website, download or message safe.
A different IP.
Websites see the VPN’s IP for traffic you send through the connection, rather than your usual public IP.
Accounts, cookies and other identifiers can still identify you. A different IP is not complete anonymity.

On shared Wi-Fi
Complete the café or hotel’s sign-in page before connecting. The VPN encrypts traffic to its server; keep HTTPS enabled and check that the website you are visiting is genuine.
When your connection changes
After switching networks or waking your device, check the app’s connection status and test an ordinary website. A changed public IP describes that browser connection; it does not prove every app is protected.
For your everyday apps
Choose the Windows installer or Android APK. Check the locations and connection options in the app. A country guide does not guarantee an exit server, streaming access or a faster connection.
VPN subscription fee
One less subscription.
There’s no VPN subscription fee. Apps are available for Windows and as a direct Android APK.
Free access requires bandwidth sharing. There is no fixed usage cap, and data charges or performance effects may apply.
