Emergency VPN
Secure your mission with the
Emergency VPN program
Protect your mission from surveillance and censorship. Our Emergency VPN program provides urgent, free access to NordVPN when your security is at risk.
An internet without borders
Everyone should be able to access the internet privately without the fear of being watched or controlled. Yet too many people around the world live under heavy censorship and surveillance or are silenced for expressing their opinions.
NordVPN stands for digital freedom and helps people by securing their private data and providing open access to the internet.
Encryption assistance for those in need
If you are facing extensive online censorship, targeted surveillance, or the threat of violence, contact NordVPN and request a free Emergency VPN service immediately to protect your privacy. With NordVPN, you can securely bypass online restrictions and keep your communication away from prying eyes.
Benefits of the Emergency VPN program
With NordVPN, keep your voice loud and your identity quiet.
Six months of free VPN protection
If your nonprofit operates in a high-risk area or is facing a sudden crisis, we’ll provide six months of NordVPN at no cost. We’ll help protect your team and your data, even when the budget is tight.
Priority activation
We understand that in case of an urgent threat, you can’t afford to wait for technical support. We move emergency requests to the front of our queue to make sure your account is set up as quickly as possible.
Strong AES-256 encryption
We protect your internet traffic with AES-256 encryption, which is the same security standard used by governments to protect top-secret data. It makes your online activity unreadable to anyone trying to intercept it, even on public networks.
No activity tracking
You shouldn’t have to worry about who is watching what you do online. Our policy is backed by independent audits to prove that we never track, collect, or share your online activity, which keeps your sensitive work and contacts strictly private.
Unlimited VPN bandwidth
Get unlimited bandwidth so your team can download and upload large files and stay on calls for as long as necessary without ever worrying about being slowed down or cut off.
Specialty servers
If you are working in a region with heavy internet restrictions, our obfuscated servers might help you stay connected. They hide the fact that you’re using a VPN, allowing you to avoid blocks and access the open web under the radar.
One account, 10 devices
One NordVPN account covers up to 10 different devices at the same time, including laptops, smartphones, and tablets. This makes it easy to keep your entire team protected across all the hardware they use to get the job done.
Extra security features
Get a full suite of advanced VPN features to block malware and a kill switch to prevent data leaks if your connection drops. These features operate in the background to keep your work secure without extra effort.
NordVPN supports emergency digital security projects
We stand by organizations that fight cybercrime by providing assistance to victims of cyberattacks and helping internet users stay safe online.
The Digital Security Helpline is a free-of-charge resource available to civil society around the world. It provides real-time, direct technical assistance and advice to activists, independent media, and civil society organizations.
An overview of global internet shutdowns
Internet shutdowns can be daunting — no news, no messages, no way to reach the outside. Governments use them to control what people see and say online, but let’s be real — cutting off the web is a direct attack on human rights.
That’s where Access Now opens in a new tab and their #KeepItOn campaign step in. This initiative unites hundreds of organizations working around the clock to spot shutdowns, help people get back online, and push for laws that keep the internet open for everyone.
Check out the table below to see where the web is currently being restricted.
