  2. Click “Show advanced options” to select the type of server you want to connect to and the protocol you want to use.
  3. This is the server’s hostname, which you will have to use in manual VPN connection configurations.
  4. This is the name of the server, which you can use to find in the NordVPN application.

What is the best VPN server location for me?

The best VPN server location for you depends on several factors, such as the server’s distance from your actual location and the load of the server. When you click “Quick Connect,” our smart algorithm will take all of these circumstances into consideration before connecting you to the best available VPN server.
