The PrivadoVPN app will be downloaded to your phone and you can access it by pressing Open after the app has installed.
Setting up the App
When the app first opens, you’ll be given an opportunity to sign in. If you haven’t yet created an account, you can do so by clicking here and filling out the online forms.
Once you sign in, you will be prompted to add a VPN configuration to iOS. Simply click Allow. Enter your iPhone passcode to authorize the addition.
Your PrivadoVPN app is now set up and ready to use.
You can change the VPN protocol you use by going to your Settings menu and selecting the VPN Protocol option. That will let you choose from several protocols depending on how you intend to use your VPN. For more information on VPN protocols and which one is right for you, take a look at our Secure Encryption Protocols page.
Connect to a VPN Server
You can easily connect to the nearest or fastest VPN server by pressing the keyhole icon in the center of your screen. This will automatically choose the server with the fastest speeds for your physical location.
If you want to enable auto-connect or specify which server you automatically connect to, you can do so in the Settings menu under the Auto Connect section.
To connect to a different server, you can simply choose the server you want from the list at the bottom of your home screen and press that location. You will be disconnected from your current server and connected to the new one.
If you want to disconnect from any VPN server, you just have to press the keyhole icon again and the app will disconnect you.
