What is a VPN?

A VPN — virtual private network — keeps your data safe online from hackers, snoopers, and identity thieves, while providing unrestricted access to blocked websites and services.

VPN explained

A VPN ensures the information traveling between your device — computer, smartphone, or tablet — and the VPN server is encrypted, and therefore secure from hackers, cyber criminals, and data thieves.

As an added bonus, with your VPN connected, you can also access restricted websites and apps from anywhere in the world.

What does a VPN do?

Encryption, anonymity, and access — wherever you are.

Secure your devices

Star VPN uses best-in-class security and 256-bit AES encryption to ensure your data is protected, even on unsecured public WiFi.

Use public Wi-Fi safely

Hackers have many methods to steal data on public hotspots. A VPN lets you stop worrying. People who want true privacy should always use one.

Avoid tracking and surveillance

Government agencies track your browsing, messages, social posts, and other private data. A VPN protects you by encrypting traffic and hiding your IP.

Stream everything

With unlimited bandwidth, access all your favorite content — games, live sports, streaming sites — from any device, anywhere.

Access websites and apps

One simple click gets you access to apps or sites that may be restricted: Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube, Skype, and more.

Mask your location

Hide your IP address and location. Star VPN has over 800 servers in 50+ countries, and we never log, store, or share any personally identifiable information.

How does a VPN work?

Without the security of a VPN, your web traffic is exposed. Cyber criminals can intercept your personal data and your ISP can see what you do online.

When you connect to Star VPN, your web traffic is routed through our secure VPN servers, where it's encrypted. This acts as a "tunnel" for your data — keeping your sensitive information secure.

A VPN lets you:

  • Stay private online
  • Protect yourself on public WiFi
  • Encrypt your data
  • Access blocked content
