Stop intrusive ads with NordVPN’s ad blocker

Enjoy safe and smooth browsing without ads.

Why should you block ads?

The internet is ridden with ads. While some are innocent sales banners, others can be annoying, distracting, and malicious – and you should get rid of them.

Protect yourself from dangerous ads

One wrong click could lead to stolen credentials, financial loss, or malware. Cybercriminals are known to set up fake websites that look like real online stores. Blocking ads means you will never be tempted to click on them, no matter how tempting the offer might seem.

More internet, faster

Fewer ads mean faster loading times and less data used. This is especially helpful when you’re using mobile data, as it saves you those precious Mbs.

Focus on important things

Pop-up ads that cover most of the content are distracting and incredibly annoying. It gets even worse if they include sound as well. So block all ads and never get a jump-scare from a shouty banner again.

Get advertisers off your back

You searched for toy trucks once, and now you’ll be bombarded with ads for children’s toys for the next six months. Sounds familiar? Block ads altogether and stop them from following you around the internet.

VPN ad blocker

Does a VPN block ads? NordVPN does. Thanks to our Threat Protection feature, you can use the NordVPN app and get both a secure encrypted internet connection and extra protection from online threats.

NordVPN hides annoying pop-ups and malicious banners the moment you enter a website. If you can’t see them, you can’t click on them – so you’re less likely to end up on a phishing website.

So get yourself a VPN that blocks ads as well, browse securely, and experience the internet without advertising.

How to enable ad blocking on NordVPN

Open the NordVPN app.

Click on the shield icon.

Toggle the Threat Protection switch on.

Frequently asked questions

Is ad blocking safe?

Yes, using NordVPN to block ads is completely safe. It also increases your online security overall because you no longer see any ads – including the malicious ones.

Why are ads not blocked on my web browser?

If you switched on the Threat Protection feature and are still seeing ads, one of the reasons might be proxy solutions on your computer or browser. Check if you have any other proxies enabled and turn them off. Otherwise, Threat Protection can’t inspect the website to block the ads. If this still doesn’t work, get in touch with our support team.

What browsers support NordVPN's ad blocker feature?

NordVPN’s ad blocking feature is available for Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox browsers. If you’re using Firefox, make sure to restart the browser after enabling Threat Protection. You can do so by typing “about:profiles” into the browser’s search tab and pressing Enter. Then click on the “Restart normally” button on the right, and Firefox will restart itself.

Is the NordVPN ad blocker feature free?

Yes, once you have a NordVPN subscription, using the app’s features is completely free.
