NordVPN: Also for your mobile phone

NordVPN on your phone: the benefits

The operating system on your mobile phone, such as Android and iOS, have built-in security, but these do not cover all the dangers of your online life. Below, we list some of the advantages of NordVPN on your phone.

1. Privacy protection on public WiFi

You can connect to free public WiFi very easily. In a shop, on the terrace, the airport or anywhere else. But public WiFi is not secure. Anyone with the intention can watch what you are doing, including watching you do your online banking on your phone. NordVPN encrypts all your internet traffic, no matter how you are connected to the internet. No one can watch and no one can find out what you are doing. Not even NordVPN keeps track of what you are doing with their No-Log policy. Completely anonymous and protected.

2. Unlock country-specific content

A lot of content, especially streaming content, is country-specific. Think of your favourite streaming service. The content is different in each country, so you might want to explore from time to time. Or sometimes there are more episodes or seasons out from the series you follow in other countries. NordVPN gives you access. Change your digital location and unlock this content at the touch of a button.

3. Cybersecurity for your mobile phone

NordVPN for your phone is designed for the wireless world. Automatically switching between different wifi networks or places without coverage, NordVPN keeps you safe, even if you are momentarily disconnected. Your IP address remains shielded and you don't have to worry about whether or not you should manage certain things in certain places from your phone. Wherever you are, you are secure.

4. NordVPN's helpful mobile features

NordVPN has some helpful features for on your phone for more convenience. Below, we will highlight some of them: 

• Threat protection: blocks malicious websites before they can reach your phone. In addition, Threat Protection has another feature and perhaps the most important one: it blocks ads.
• For all NordVPN Android users, Google doesn't like it when ads are blocked, so if you download the app via the Google Play Store, the adblocking feature will be disabled. Luckily, NordVPN has a solution: simply download the NordVPN-APK on your phone and enjoy every features of the Google Play Store app + ad-free browsing on your mobile with Threat Protection.
• NordVPN iOS users are not affected by this. Threat Protection has adblocker functionality by default on iOS.
• Split tunnelling: mark certain apps as trusted. NordVPN is disabled when using these apps.
• Dark Web Monitoring: These days, you often leave your data behind when creating online accounts. As a result, the chance of your data appearing on the Dark Web due to a data breach increases. Your identity may be at risk because you don't know how your data will be used. Dark Web Monitoring detects if your personal data has been exposed in a data breach, cleans it up, and notifies you on your mobile app of the status.
• Kill Switch: Should you lose your connection to NordVPN for any reason, your internet will also be temporarily disabled. Never connect to a public wifi unsecured and unprotected again.
• Protection against tapjacking: You sometimes have those obnoxious apps that place a digital layer over the screen you have in front of you (a screen overlay). When you click on that, something unintended can happen, such as an ad popping up. This feature counters this.
