How to launch and configure the built-in VPN service in the Brave browser to protect your network connection?

In addition to standard privacy features such as tracker-blocking shields and Tor network integration, the browser offers its own premium VPN service based on Guardian technology. This tool encrypts all internet traffic on your device at the operating system level, protecting the connection not only inside the browser but across all third-party applications as well.

To start using the service, you need to subscribe through your official Brave account, after which the feature will become available directly from the application interface. A VPN icon will appear on the toolbar next to the address bar, providing quick one-click access to connection management.

To activate protection, click on the VPN icon and select a server from the available list of geographical locations. The browser will automatically establish a secure connection through the chosen point, hiding your real IP address and protecting your data from interception on public Wi-Fi networks.

It is important to note that this VPN operates on a zero-log principle, meaning the company does not store the history of your network sessions or visited websites. If you encounter connection issues, you can switch to another server at any time or temporarily disable the service in the browser's security settings.
