3. Log In to Malwarebytes Privacy VPN

4. Connect to a VPN Server

On the main screen of the VPN app, you will see a "Turn On" button.
To connect to the fastest available server, click "Turn On".
If you prefer to select a specific location:
- Click on "Server Locations".
- Choose a country or city from the list of available servers.
- Click on your chosen location, and Malwarebytes VPN will connect you to that server.
Once connected, your IP address will be masked, and your internet traffic will be encrypted.

5. Customize Malwarebytes Privacy VPN Settings

Click on the gear icon or "Settings" in the app to access additional options.
In the "General" tab, you can:
- Enable "Auto-Connect" to automatically connect to the VPN when your device is on a public Wi-Fi network.
- Toggle "Launch on Startup" to ensure the VPN starts when your device is turned on.
In the "Privacy" tab, you can:
- Enable "Kill Switch" to block all internet traffic if the VPN connection drops.
- Activate "Ad and Tracker Blocking" to prevent websites from tracking your browsing activity.
Malwarebytes VPN automatically configures other settings, so no additional configuration is required unless you have specific preferences.

6. Test Your VPN Connection

To ensure that Malwarebytes VPN is working, visit WhatIsMyIPAddress.com.
Check if your IP address and location have changed to match the server location you selected.
If your IP address has changed, your VPN connection is active and securing your data.

7. Disconnect from Malwarebytes Privacy VPN

To disconnect, simply click the "Turn Off" button in the app.
Your internet connection will return to its normal state, without VPN protection.
