Overview
You can Test Your Protection at any time by visiting the link below. It doesn't matter which device you are using, this page will work on all of your various devices, computers, tablets, smart phones, and more.
If you are connected to our secure network, this page will report your status as Protected. It will also display the IP address and geographic location of the VPN datacenter you're connected to. Otherwise, this page will display your actual location.
This is the same information other apps and websites can see when you surf the web. They will not be able to recognize your actual IP address or location.

Common Questions
Will VirtualShield open when I turn on my device?
If the Autostart option is enabled, VirtualShield will open automatically each time you turn on or restart your device. If used in combination with the Connect Automatically option, you will remain connected to the VPN at all times.
Why does my app look different from the one above?
It is possible you still have an older/legacy version of our app installed. We recommend downloading the latest version from our website to take advantage of the new VPN technology, and all of the new security features we offer.
