Safety net
Keep your traffic inside the VPN
The train enters a tunnel and the VPN drops. With the kill switch on, your traffic is blocked instead of going out over your normal connection. DNS leak protection is on from the start and keeps your website lookups inside the VPN.

Connected. Your traffic goes through the VPN.

Protocols
5 protocols for networks that block VPNs
Firewalls at hotels, offices and schools can block UDP. Some networks detect and block VPN traffic. Pick the protocol that fits, or let Optimal choose.
Which network are you on?
Where in the appSettings › Protocol
Choose
WireGuard
The app says
“Fastest. Best for everyday use where VPNs aren’t blocked.”
- Optimal
- WireGuard
- OpenVPN UDP
- OpenVPN TCP
- AmneziaWG
- Stealth
Optimal is the automatic choice, not a sixth protocol. The browser extensions use one protocol, Secure Proxy, with no picker.

Most features are in most apps; split tunneling is only on Android and in the browser extensions, and Android TV has no kill switch or ad blocking. Pick a platform to see its real Settings screen.

One protocol, Secure Proxy. It protects that browser only.

What features should a VPN have?
A VPN should have strong encryption, a kill switch that blocks traffic if the connection drops, DNS leak protection that keeps your website lookups inside the VPN, a choice of protocols, and a clear no-logs policy. Extras such as ad blocking, auto-connect and split tunneling depend on how and where you use it.
Extras depend on how you use a VPN. CopVPN adds a VPN ad blocker for known ad, tracking and malware sites (it isn’t antivirus), auto-connect so it connects by itself on Wi-Fi you don’t trust, and split tunneling on Android and in the browser extensions, to keep a banking app or a chosen site outside the tunnel.
Strong encryption. It scrambles your traffic between your device and the VPN server. CopVPN uses strong encryption, with AES-256 for OpenVPN.
A kill switch. It blocks traffic if the connection drops. CopVPN’s VPN kill switch is off until you turn it on.
DNS leak protection. It keeps your website lookups inside the VPN, and it’s on by default in the CopVPN apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android.
A choice of protocols. CopVPN has 5 protocols: WireGuard, OpenVPN UDP, OpenVPN TCP, AmneziaWG and Stealth, and Optimal chooses automatically. See what each one is for.
A no-logs policy. We follow a no-logs policy. Read the Privacy Policy.
Apps for the devices you use. CopVPN has apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android and Android TV, and extensions for Chrome, Edge and Firefox. It’s a VPN for multiple devices: unlimited devices, up to 7 connected at once.
Questions
Questions about CopVPN features
Which CopVPN features work on which platforms?
Most features are in most apps, with a few gaps. Split tunneling is only on Android and in the browser extensions. Android TV has no kill switch or ad blocking. The browser extensions have no DNS leak protection setting. The table above shows each platform, and each feature page lists the exact setting.
What is the difference between a kill switch and DNS leak protection?
A kill switch blocks your internet traffic if the VPN connection drops. DNS leak protection keeps your website lookups inside the VPN. The kill switch is off until you turn it on. DNS leak protection is on by default in the Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android apps.
Which CopVPN features are on by default?
DNS leak protection is on from the start in the Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android apps, and always on in the Android TV app. The kill switch is off until you turn it on. You choose whether to turn on the ad blocker, split tunneling and auto-connect in Settings.
Which CopVPN features work without a plan?
On iPhone, iPad and Android, you can connect to the free locations, and DNS leak protection and ad blocking work without a plan. The kill switch and auto-connect need a plan there, and so does split tunneling on Android. The Windows, Mac, Linux and Android TV apps need a plan to connect. There is no separate free trial.
Do the CopVPN browser extensions have the same features as the apps?
No. The extensions for Chrome, Edge and Firefox protect that browser only. They have a kill switch for that browser, ad blocking, auto-connect on browser startup and a Bypass list for sites that skip the VPN. They have no DNS leak protection setting and one protocol, Secure Proxy. They connect to the free locations without a plan.
Which features does the CopVPN Android TV app have?
The Android TV app has a protocol picker with 5 protocols (Optimal chooses automatically), auto-connect, which it calls Protect on untrusted networks, and DNS leak protection, which is always on. It has no kill switch, split tunneling or ad blocking. Up to 7 devices can be connected at once, and it needs a plan to connect.
How many devices can I use CopVPN on at once?
You can sign in on unlimited devices, and up to 7 can be connected at once. An eighth connection is refused, and nobody already connected is cut off. Disconnect one of your devices to connect here.
