Connect to a Specific Location

Overview

We have secure VPN servers available in 18+ countries, with over 5,000 rotating IPs. You can change your location at any time, and your IP address will reflect those changes when you surf the web.

Websites and apps will only be able to see the location and IP address of the VPN server you're connected to, they will not be able to recognize your actual location. Changing your location manually can also help you achieve faster connection speed(s).


Changing your Location

As a result, many of the functions work the same exact way on all of your devices. It doesn't matter which device you're using, this article applies to Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and more.

Changing your location is entirely optional, it is not required in order to be protected. All of our VPN servers are fast, secure, and unlimited.
