Download & install
How do I install Zenshield on Windows?
Download the official installer, wait for it to finish, and follow its prompts. Account setup and the sharing decision happen inside the app. If Windows shows an unexpected publisher or security warning, pause and contact the team.
Windows installation guide How do I install the Android APK?
An APK is an Android installation file. Download it from the official source. Android may ask for permission to install from your browser or file manager; you can remove that permission afterward. Keep Play Protect enabled and stop if the app is flagged as harmful.
Android installation guide My download didn’t start or was interrupted.
Try the official link again on a stable connection. Check your browser’s downloads list and available storage. Don’t substitute a file from a forum, message or unrelated mirror.
Go to official downloads What are the device requirements?
The inspected Android package declares Android 7.0 or later and includes ARM64 libraries. Windows requirements and compatibility with your device still need confirmation. See the download details or ask support before installing.
Account & sign-in
Where do I create an account or sign in?
Follow the signup or sign-in flow inside the installed app. There is no separate website account portal for this journey. Keep your password and authentication codes private.
Full account guide The app won’t let me sign in.
Check that you’re using the intended account and record the exact error. Tell support whether signup or sign-in failed, along with your app and OS versions. Don’t send passwords or codes.
Get account help Does uninstalling delete my account?
Removing the app and deleting an account are separate actions. Follow the account-deletion guidance to make that request. You do not need to send a password in your request.
VPN connection
The VPN won’t connect. What should I check?
First check that ordinary browsing works. Then try the app’s connection control and note its state and exact error. If it still fails, tell the team your device, OS, app version if visible, network type and the time of the attempt.
Connection troubleshooting The VPN says connected, but websites won’t load.
Try a familiar website and check whether the problem also happens after disconnecting the VPN. Tell support whether every site fails or only one. VPN connection and bandwidth sharing have separate states.
Describe the connection problem My connection feels slower.
Connection speed can vary. Compare browsing with and without the VPN, and check whether bandwidth sharing is still running. Data use and performance effects may apply; there is no guaranteed bandwidth cap.
Slow connection guidance Does a different IP make me anonymous?
No. Websites see the VPN’s IP for traffic routed through it, but your accounts, cookies and other identifiers can still identify you. A public-IP lookup alone cannot verify VPN protection.
Bandwidth sharing
Does downloading start bandwidth sharing?
No. You review the terms and agree inside the app before sharing starts. Sharing is required for free VPN access. Downloading the file is not your consent.
Read the exchange How much bandwidth does Zenshield share?
Usage varies with demand, the device and network conditions. There is no fixed cap. Data charges and effects on battery or performance may apply. Use a connection you have permission to share.
Read the sharing policy How do I stop bandwidth sharing?
Turning off the VPN may not stop sharing. Fully exit or uninstall the app, or use a stop-sharing setting if your version supports it. Stopping sharing also affects your access to the free VPN.
Full stop-sharing guidance Why are network requests using my public IP?
That is part of the bandwidth exchange. With your consent, requests travel through your connection as part of Geonode’s proxy network. This is separate from your traffic through the VPN.
How the network exchange works How do I uninstall Zenshield?
Use your operating system’s app-uninstall process rather than manually deleting the application folder. If you also want your account deleted, follow the separate account-deletion process.
