What is a VPN server?

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) server is a remote server that securely transmits your data and enables you to use a VPN. It combines specialized hardware and software to connect VPN users to a secure and private network, ensuring your online activities stay protected and private.

Frequently asked questions

To choose a server for your VPN, you need to

Download and install the VPN.
Open and log in to the VPN app.
Select the server country to connect to. You can select a server based on your needs or use our Recommended for you section to connect to the fastest and nearest server to you.

The best VPN server type combines top connection speeds with robust privacy. Servers with 10Gbps ports offer maximum speed, and RAM-only servers ensure the highest level of privacy. So, the best type of VPN server is one equipped with a 10Gbps port and RAM only.

The best server to connect to is in the country closest to your actual location — the closer the server is to you geographically, the faster the connection. If several server locations are a similar distance away from you, try switching between them and find one that provides the best connection speed.

The key difference between physical and virtual VPN servers is the location of their IP address. A virtual server provides an IP address that is different from its actual location, whereas a physical server provides an IP that corresponds to its real location.
