You've been invited to NodeVPN Free Early Access
The long awaited NodeVPN app is finally here. We would like to invite you to use the VPN apps for free!
NodeVPN is the revolutionary new app that secures your data and devices whilst making your whole internet more sustainable. With 200% carbon offsetting of the average internet user’s emissions, users can feel fantastic about helping to reduce the 3.7% of global carbon emissions currently caused by the internet.
Our VPN protocol is faster, more reliable and stealthier than your average VPN. By masking your traffic as standard SSL encryption, it’s harder to block or filter the connection by evading even being detected as VPN protected traffic.
We are launching our beta apps for Android and iOS now, with MacOS, Windows, Linux and others to follow soon after.
Please note: There will be no carbon offsetting during beta. Beta users are helping us to test the apps in a variety of scenarios and provide feedback that will prepare us for the launch of the premium service, at which point every user will become 200% carbon negative.

Guidelines for Using NodeVPN
For the most part, using NodeVPN should be pretty simple. However, if you are new to VPNs you might want to pay attention to certain things. Here is a basic guide for connecting and checking connection.
1. Download & Register an Account
Please download your app of choice in the “Choose your VPN” section above. Follow the instructions in the “Installation” section. Then follow the onscreen instructions in the app.
2. Connect to a VPN Gateway Server Location
After registering, login to the app. You will be presented with a list of VPN gateway server locations. Depending on your needs, choose one and tap it. Wait for a moment while it connects. When it has connected, your new current location will be displayed along with a timer and a disconnect button.
3. Check your Connection
When using a VPN, you might want to check your connection, IP address, and location. Please try the following service:
UTRACE.ME is third party service we like for checking your IP address. Try using it before and after connecting to see NodeVPN in action for yourself.
You can also try Googling “What is my IP Address” for a second opinion.
4. Monitoring and Maintaining your Connection
To connect to NodeVPN you will first need an active internet connection. If that connection changes, you break your connection to NodeVPN and will have to reconnect. The situations you might encounter that break your internet connection include (but are not limited to)
- When you move out of WiFi range and automatically connect to 5G/4G/3G.
- When you have an active connection to NodeVPN via 5G/4G/3G and connect to Wifi.
- When you reboot your WiFi router.
- When you lose signal to the internet all together.
Try to maintain a stable connection to the internet to avoid disconnecting to your VPN gateway. With a stable internet connection, your VPN should remain active until you close the app or reboot your device.
- From time to time we need to do housekeeping on our gateways and may need to reboot them. This will temporarily disconnect users on that gateway. We try to keep this to an absolute minimum but is necessary from time to time when we apply upgrades and security patches, or introduce new features.
5. Which VPN Gateway should I use?
This is a matter of choice, but there are a number of factors that may help you decide. Firstly, what are you trying to accomplish?
- If you want added privacy but with as fast a connection as possible, choose one from your region or as close as possible.
- If you want to view content and the internet as it appears in a certain region, for example, if you are travelling and trying to get the same experience as back home, you can choose the server from your home country.
Thank you for considering NodeVPN
It has been quite the journey to get to this point. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for testing NodeVPN and look forward to hearing from you. In the mean time, we hope you enjoy using the app and would like to encourage you to find out more about NodeVPN via the rest of the website.
