How to set up a VPN on Windows 11 in 2 minutes

What you need

A Windows 10 or 11 PC, 64 bit, and an email address. That is it. The Free plan needs no card.

You do not need to set anything up in Windows network settings. The app handles it.

After you connect

The kill switch is on straight away. If the connection drops your traffic stays blocked until it reconnects.

On Free ROOT picks the fastest location for you. On Plus or Pro you can choose a country or city.

If something does not work

Restart the app first. If you are on a strict network like a hotel or office, try the REALITY protocol in Settings.

Still stuck, contact support and a real person will help.
