VPN & online privacy: Browse privately wherever you are

Aura's VPN encrypts your online activities so you can browse, shop, and work safely with just one tap. Plus, with 100+ virtual locations, you can access your favorite global sites and apps with connection speeds that won't slow you down.

Available on:

What is a VPN?

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides safe and private access to the internet. By encrypting your connection, a VPN hides your IP address and online activity from spying eyes while keeping your data safe from cybercriminals.

Military Grade Encryption

Fast, secure VPN connection

Whether you're getting some work done at the airport or browsing from your hotel room, Aura's VPN protects your online activities with military-grade encryption, shielding your identity and info from hackers and cybercriminals.

100+ Virtual Locations

Access content from around the world

With over 100 virtual locations to choose from, Aura's VPN lets you browse, game, and stream content from all over the world, securely and privately, no matter where you are.

Malicious Site Blocking

Block phishing and scam sites

Aura’s VPN provides powerful protection every time you go online. It not only encrypts your internet activity to keep it private, but also blocks known scam and phishing websites—helping you avoid data theft and malware infections.

Kill Switch

Automatic protection if VPN drops

Worried about connection drops? Aura’s Kill Switch automatically cuts your internet if the VPN disconnects—so your data is never accidentally exposed. It’s extra peace of mind, even on public Wi-Fi.

Split Tunneling

You’re in control

Aura’s VPN now includes Split Tunneling, a feature that allows you to choose which websites go through the VPN. This allows for greater control over your browsing experience. For example, maybe you only want the extra VPN encryption for when you’re banking versus streaming videos.

Secure up to 10 devices per person—on any platform

Each member of your Aura plan can protect up to 10 devices with VPN and security tools—whether at home or on the go.

Aura plans come with:

$1,000,000 ID Theft Insurance*

24/7/365 Customer Support

60-Day Money-back Guarantee2

  • The Kill Switch protects against sensitive information being exposed if the Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection is lost or interrupted. A VPN Kill Switch is a security feature that activates when the VPN tunnel begins connecting, before the secure connection is fully established.
  • Once enabled, the Kill Switch blocks all network traffic outside of the VPN tunnel, with a few exceptions:
    • Local network traffic: A separate module manages local traffic, allowing communication within the local environment (such as accessing printers or other devices).
    • Bypassed processes and domains: Certain processes or domains that have been explicitly allowed through user-defined rules are permitted to connect directly.
  • Please note: The VPN Kill Switch feature may not be available with all plans. If you would like to add it to your plan, please contact us.
  • Split tunneling lets you choose which websites use the VPN and which do not. This feature is helpful in two main ways:
    • It can help save battery life.
    • It lets you access local content on certain apps while the VPN stays active.
  • You can manage split tunneling through your VPN settings.
  • Please note: The VPN Split Tunnel feature may not be available with all plans. If you would like to add it to your plan, please contact us.
