* Let's you choose between [OpenVPN and Nordlynx](https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/19482810153745-Which-NordVPN-protocol-should-I-choose) connection protocols.
* You can prevent your device from making unprotected connections by using the [Kill Switch](https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/19509682644369-NordVPN-Kill-Switch-how-does-it-work) feature.
* Offers a new secure communication between devices feature - [Meshnet](https://nordvpn.com/meshnet/).
* Prevent others from exploiting account information leaked to the dangerous dark web while using the [Dark Web Monitor](https://nordvpn.com/features/dark-web-monitor/) feature.

DD-WRT setup with NordVPN
|
DD-WRT is custom firmware for routers which support the OpenVPN protocol and is available on a wide variety of routers. You can check if your router supports DD-WRT firmware [here](https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices) and learn how to install DD-WRT firmware on a router [here](https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installation).This tutorial will show you how to set up a DD-WRT VPN using an OpenVPN connection on your DD-WRT router using the DD-WRT OpenVPN client UI.
Alternative setup method:
* [Setup via FlashRouters Privacy App](https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/20462541897617-DD-WRT-setup-with-FlashRouters-Privacy-app)
1. In the DD-WRT Administrative Interface, navigate to Setup > Basic Setup. Under Network Address Server Settings (DHCP), set these NordVPN DNS addresses:Static DNS 1: 103.86.96.100Static DNS 2: 103.86.99.100Static DNS 3: 0.0.0.0 (default)Use DNSMasq for DHCP: CheckedUse DNSMasq for DNS: CheckedDHCP-Authoritative: CheckedThen, Save and Apply settings.If you're setting up two routers, you should change the second router’s local IP address to a different one from the main router's. (In this case, the main router's IP is 192.168.1.1, while the one you’re connecting to a NordVPN server is accessible via 192.168.2.1)2. Navigate to Setup > IPV6. Set IPv6 to Disable, click Save, and then Apply Settings.(this is a recommended step to make sure your IP doesn’t leak)
3. Navigate to Service > VPN. Under OpenVPN Client, set Start OpenVPN Client to Enable in order to see the options necessary for this configuration. Then set the following:Server IP/Name: For the sake of this tutorial, we used us936.nordvpn.com, but you should connect to a server suggested to you in the server recommendation tab in your NordAccount dashboard.
Follow the steps below to find the best server for your connection:
1. Log into your [Nord Account](https://my.nordaccount.com/), and click NordVPN.
2. Scroll down to Advanced Settings and click Set up NordVPN manually.
3. Select the Server recommendation tab. According to your location, the best server will be recommended.
4. By pressing Advanced filters you can further customize the recommended servers by selecting the Server type and the Security protocol.
In case you wish to select a specific server, follow these steps:
1. Under Set up NordVPN manually, select OpenVPN configuration files.
2. Find the server you wish to connect to by using the Search bar or by scrolling down and download it by clicking Download UDP or Download TCP.
3. When connecting to OpenVPN & IKEv2 manually, you're going to need to use the Username and Password from the Service credential tab.
Port: 1194 (or 443 for the TCP protocol)Tunnel Device: TUNTunnel Protocol: UDP (or TCP)Encryption Cipher: AES-256-CBCHash Algorithm: SHA-512User Pass Authentication: EnableUsername, Password: Your NordVPN service credentialsFirst Data Cipher: Not setSecond Data Cipher: Not setThird Data Cipher: Not set
Note: If the Username and Password fields are missing, fill in the remaining fields and proceed to step 3.1
You can find your NordVPN service credentials (service username and service password) in the [Nord Account dashboard](https://my.nordaccount.com/dashboard/nordvpn/):
Follow the steps below to find the service credentials for manual connection setup:
1. Log into your [Nord Account](https://my.nordaccount.com/), click NordVPN, and, under Manual setup, click on Service credentials. Here you'll find the Username and Password needed to connect manually.
Advanced Options: Enable (this will enable additional options)
TLS Cipher: NoneLZO Compression: NoNAT: Enable
The options not mentioned in this guide should be left with default values.3.1. (Optional, depending on step 3.) If the Username and Password fields are missing, go to Administration > Commands and enter this code:
echo "YOURUSERNAMEYOURPASSWORD" > /tmp/openvpncl/user.conf/usr/bin/killall openvpn/usr/sbin/openvpn --config /tmp/openvpncl/openvpn.conf --route-up /tmp/openvpncl/route-up.sh --down-pre /tmp/openvpncl/route-down.sh --daemon
Replace YOURUSERNAME and YOURPASSWORD with your respective NordVPN service credentials. Click Save Startup and return to the previous VPN tab.4. In the Additional Config box either enter or copy/paste these commands:
remote-cert-tls serverremote-randomnobindtun-mtu 1500tun-mtu-extra 32mssfix 1450persist-keypersist-tunping-timer-remreneg-sec 0#log /tmp/vpn.log#Delete `#` in the line below if your router does not have credentials fields and you followed the 3.1 step#auth-user-pass /tmp/openvpncl/user.conf
5. Open the OpenVPN configuration file you downloaded in Step 3 in any text editor of your preference (preferably WordPad or Notepad++, as regular notepad does not have the correct formatting).
6. When you open the .ovpn file of the server you chose (in our case, us936_nordvpn_com.udp.ovpn) in a text editor, you should see the <ca> part of the file (do NOT copy the <ca> and </ca> tags):
7. Copy its contents into the CA Cert field. Make sure the entire text gets pasted, including the-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- lines.8. Now go back to the configuration file and scroll down to the <tls-auth> part. Copy the contents of the TLS Key:9. Paste the contents into the TLS Auth Key field. Make sure the entire text gets pasted in, including the-----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1----- and -----END OpenVPN Static key V1----- lines.10. After entering the data, click Save, and then Apply Settings.
11. To verify that the VPN is working, navigate to Status > OpenVPNUnder State, you should see the message "Client: CONNECTED SUCCESS".Optional Kill Switch setup (for advanced users):To create a kill switch, go to Administration > Commands and enter this script:
WAN_IF=`nvram get wan_iface`iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o $WAN_IF -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibitediptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -p tcp -o $WAN_IF -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-resetiptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -p udp -o $WAN_IF -j REJECT --reject-with udp-reset
Select Save Firewall, go to Administration > Management > Reboot router.

Different NordVPN server categories explained
|
NordVPN has specialty servers that serve different purposes.
NordVPN server types:
* Standard servers
* Double VPN
* Onion over VPN
* Dedicated IP
* [Obfuscated servers](
## Standard servers
Regular NordVPN servers that offer the best connection speeds — ideal for everyday use. Whether you're browsing the internet at home or using public Wi-Fi networks while going out, standard servers provide security and privacy by encrypting your internet traffic and hiding your personal IP address.
The way standard NordVPN servers work is simple. When you connect to a [VPN server](https://nordvpn.com/servers/), all of your internet traffic is encrypted via [a certain VPN protocol](https://nordvpn.com/blog/protocols/). It is then sent through your ISP before reaching a NordVPN server. There, the traffic is decrypted and is then sent to its destination: a web page, banking app, etc.
[Here is an article that explains how a VPN works in detail.](https://nordvpn.com/what-is-a-vpn/#How-does-VPN-work)
## How to connect to a standard server
Choose from 3 options:
* Use the Quick Connect option (1).
* Select a server from the All countries list (2).
* Click on an icon on the server map (3).
## Double VPN
[Double VPN servers](https://nordvpn.com/features/double-vpn/) are specialized security and privacy solutions intended for journalists, political activists, informants, and anyone who wishes to be extra cautious.
The key benefit that separates Double VPN from standard servers is that your internet traffic is sent through two VPN servers instead of one, encrypting your data and disguising your personal IP address twice.
The additional layer of security comes in handy when traveling through countries with high levels of censorship and/or surveillance.
Here is how to connect to a Double VPN server:
To start using double VPN servers, open the specialty servers category in the NordVPN app and click on double VPN. You will be automatically connected to the fastest available server.
What to do if double VPN is missing from my specialty servers list?
If you do not see the Double VPN option in the specialty servers list, [switch to TCP or UDP OpenVPN protocol](https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/20465552867345-Switching-protocol-to-OpenVPN-UDP-or-TCP).
Why does my connection feel slow using double VPN?
Your internet connection feels slow using double VPN because transferring internet traffic through a second server requires additional internet resources. For this reason, we do not recommend using Double VPN for simple, day-to-day activities. If you are still facing speed issues, here are some tips on how to make your VPN faster.
## Onion over VPN
[Onion Over VPN](https://nordvpn.com/features/onion-over-vpn/) is a feature that combines the benefits of using The Onion Router (Tor) with VPN tunneling. The result — an increased level of privacy, essential to those living or passing through countries with heavy surveillance.
When connected to an Onion over a VPN server, your internet traffic goes through one of our servers, passes through the Onion network, and only then reaches the internet.
Usually, you can access the Onion network only with The Onion Router (Tor) browser. With NordVPN, you don’t need to download a special browser. All you need to do is open the [NordVPN app](https://nordvpn.com/download/), head over to the specialty servers category, and connect to an Onion Over VPN server. Your internet traffic will then be routed through the Onion network — no additional applications are required.
Onion over VPN is missing from my specialty servers list
If this happens, please reach out to our support for assistance. [How can I reach NordVPN customer support?](https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/19482416296593-How-can-I-reach-NordVPN-customer-support)
I can't access the Onion network through the Firefox browser.
Don't worry, we have the solution covered in this article: Firefox does not open .onion websites
## Dedicated IP
This category is for our clients who purchased their own dedicated IP addresses.
Dedicated IP servers function like standard servers, except that you're the only person who is able to access the IP address. When you connect to any other kind of server, your IP address is replaced with the server's IP. The server can be used by many other people, who will be sharing the server's IP address in hiding their personal one. Having people share the IP address may lead to a number of unpleasant inconveniences, solved by owning a dedicated IP address.
Some of the benefits of having sole access to an IP address include the possibility to bypass regular VPN blocklists, avoiding CAPTCHA requests, and more.
Dedicated IP is missing from my specialty servers list
If you do not see the dedicated IP option in the specialty servers list, [switch to the TCP, UDP OpenVPN](https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/20465552867345), or NordLynx protocols. Dedicated IP is not available via browser extension, tvOS, or the IKEv2 protocol.
I've purchased a dedicated IP address, how do I set it up?
Here are tutorials on [how to connect to your dedicated IP by NordVPN on different platforms](https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/19507808024209-Dedicated-NordVPN-IP-addresses).
## Obfuscated servers
Heavy internet restrictions and VPN blocks can be solved by connecting to [obfuscated servers](https://nordvpn.com/features/obfuscated-servers/#:~:text=Obfuscated%20servers%20are%20specialized%20VPN,even%20in%20heavily%20restrictive%20environments.&text=Therefore%2C%20tools%20that%20are%20meant,VPN%20traffic%20let%20it%20pass.).
These servers bypass VPN-blocking firewalls by using a complicated algorithm. To find out more information about the way obfuscated servers work, [visit our dedicated article](https://nordvpn.com/features/obfuscated-servers/#:~:text=How%20do%20obfuscated%20servers%20work%3F).
I don't see obfuscated servers in my specialty servers list
If you do not see the obfuscated servers in the specialty servers list, switch to TCP or UDP OpenVPN protocol.

How to set up secure cloud storage with NordLocker
|
If you have purchased a bundle package with NordVPN, such as Ultra or Full, next to NordVPN service, you also receive NordLocker cloud storage service, which takes security to further heights! In this article, we will cover what you need to know to get started with NordLocker to use your purchased bundle to its full potential.
In this article, we will cover:
* [Accessing Nord Account](
* [What is NordLocker](
* [Why encrypt files?](
* [How to get started with NordLocker](
## Accessing Nord Account
When purchasing NordVPN or its bundles, you are automatically granted access to Nord Account. This account page lets you easily manage all of your Nord Security services from a single control panel.
Learn more when reading [our article on what Nord Account is and how to use it](https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/19571345334033-What-is-a-Nord-Account-and-how-do-you-use-it).
## What is NordLocker
With the [Full and Complete bundles](https://nordvpn.com/pricing/), you will receive [NordLocker](https://nordlocker.com/), an easy-to-use file encryption tool that lets you store and share your data securely. [Learn more about what NordLocker is](https://support.nordlocker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015151437-What-is-NordLocker).A Locker is NordLockers' encrypted folder. It contains your files and configuration data. No one apart from you can access the files you put in a Locker unless you give other people access.
[Learn how to grant other people access to your files on NordLocker](https://support.nordlocker.com/hc/en-us/articles/32188001657617-How-to-share-NordLocker-s-files-via-email-with-another-user).
### Why encrypt files?
Your computer contains a lot of sensitive data like photos of passports and IDs, scanned copies of legal documents, medical and tax information, personal notes, pictures, videos, and more. All of this information could be accessed by hackers if unprotected under additional security layers.
In cases when these files need to be shared with trustworthy people, you can do that safely thanks to [public-key cryptography](https://nordlocker.com/blog/public-key-encryption/).
## How to get started with NordLocker
By purchasing a NordVPN bundle that already includes NordLocker, you will simply need to proceed with logging in to the Web app and creating a Cloud password specifically for NordLocker. [Read NordLocker's article on how to get started](https://support.nordlocker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015151437-What-is-NordLocker#:~:text=by%20NordLocker%27s%20encryption.-,Getting%20started%20with%20NordLocker,-To%20start%20using).

What is SmartDNS?
|
SmartDNS is a technology that lets you access content on your smart TV that may not be available in your region. SmartDNS is integrated into [NordVPN SmartPlay](https://nordvpn.com/features/streaming/smart-play/), so you only need to have a [NordVPN subscription](https://nordvpn.com/pricing/) to access it. SmartDNS does not protect your devices the way a [VPN connection](https://nordvpn.com/what-is-a-vpn/) does — it simply provides access to streaming content. Keep in mind that it may not work with all of the streaming services you can access while connected to NordVPN.

Common issues with activation codes
|
Activation codes let you create a prepaid NordVPN account, extend an existing subscription, or even give NordVPN as a gift to others. To get started, follow our guide on [how to use a NordVPN activation code](https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/19685995851665-How-to-get-NordVPN-with-activation-code).
This article addresses the most common issues that users have encountered when trying to apply activation codes.
Wrong email address
Before you apply the activation code, please double-check the email address you provided. The activation code will be applied to the email address you specify immediately, even if it is incorrect. If you mistakenly enter an email address that is not tied to your Nord Account, please [contact our customer support team](https://nordvpn.com/contact-us/) for assistance.
Ambiguous symbols
It is easy to confuse the letter “O” (capital “o”) for “0” (zero) and the letter “I” (capital “i”) for “l” (lowercase “L”). Try replacing these ambiguous symbols with their lookalikes if you’ve entered the rest of the code correctly.
This issue only affects older NordVPN activation codes, because we have stopped using ambiguous symbols to avoid confusion.
Code already activated
Any given activation code can only be used once. If you’ve applied that activation code to extend your subscription at some point in the past, any further attempts will end in error.
You can check the status of your subscription by logging in to [Nord Account](https://my.nordaccount.com/). If you can’t remember your Nord Account credentials, use our handy password recovery tool.
Activating multiple codes
Each NordVPN activation code must be applied separately. If you have multiple activation codes, simply repeat the [activation process](https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/19685995851665-How-to-get-NordVPN-with-activation-code) for each one.

Why my recurring payment was not charged
|
If you have a recurring payment subscription and your VPN account expired do not make a manual payment. Sometimes payment systems are late to make an automatic payment which results in a gap when your account is inactive. You can always contact our support and they will add a free day to your account.
