What is a Windows VPN app?
GatewayVPN is a VPN for Windows that encrypts your internet traffic and hides your IP, keeping browsing, streaming, and work on your PC private and secure. It creates an encrypted tunnel to a VPN server for safer public-Wi-Fi, stronger privacy, and access to region-locked content.
Why Use a VPN For Windows?
A Windows VPN protects your privacy, secures your connection, and gives you more control over how your traffic is routed.
Protect your privacy
Hide your real IP address behind a VPN IP and keep browsing activity private from your internet provider.
Secure public Wi-Fi
Encrypt your Windows connection on public networks, including airports, hotels, cafés, and shared workspaces.
Access content abroad
Change your virtual location to access websites, apps, and streaming services while traveling.
Reduce tracking
Use a private VPN IP to reduce IP-based tracking across websites, advertisers, and online services.
How to Set Up The VPN For Windows
Follow the Windows setup guide to install GatewayVPN, sign in, choose a server, and connect on Windows 10 or 11.
Connect
Open the app and tap on a VPN server to connect.
How To Use The Windows VPN App
Connect to a VPN server, control security settings, change protocols, and manage split tunneling from the Windows app.
Open the GatewayVPN Windows app, sign in, and choose a server location from the locations menu. Select a nearby server for lower latency, or choose another country to change your virtual location.
Click Connect or simply tap on the server location to start the VPN connection. Once connected, your traffic is routed through the encrypted VPN tunnel.
Open the app settings and go to the kill switch option. Turn it on to block internet traffic if the VPN connection drops.
This keeps your real IP address from being exposed during unexpected connection interruptions.
Open "preferences" in the menu and go to the "protcols" tab. Switch to "manual protocol selection" and choose the VPN protocol you want to use. WireGuard is recommended for fast, stable connections, while OpenVPN UDP/TCP is useful when you need a widely supported VPN protocol.
Reconnect to apply the selected protocol.
Open "preferences" in the menu and go to the "advanced" tab. Switch the split tunneling feature on. Then, choose which apps use the encrypted VPN tunnel. Apps left outside split tunneling continue through your regular internet connection.
Use split tunneling when you want privacy for selected apps while keeping local services, banking apps, or other tools on your direct connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our support team is available 24/7 to help keep you connected.
Yes, free VPNs exist for Windows, but they usually come with serious trade-offs. Many free services limit speeds, restrict server options, and may even log or sell your data to third parties. They also often use weak or outdated encryption, putting your privacy at risk.
With GatewayVPN, you get strong AES-256 encryption, global server access, and unlimited bandwidth. Plus, you can try it risk-free with our 30-day money-back guarantee.
Windows 10 and 11 let you configure a VPN manually, but it requires technical setup and your own server details. It doesn’t come with built-in servers or encryption protocols. GatewayVPN removes the hassle with a ready-to-use app that connects you securely in one click.
Yes. One GatewayVPN account covers up to 5 devices at the same time. Use it on your Windows PC, Mac, iOS, Android, or even Smart TVs — all with the same login.
Absolutely. GatewayVPN’s WireGuard protocol ensures low-latency connections, so you can game without lag while staying safe from DDoS attacks and ISP throttling.
Yes! Many streaming platforms restrict content by region. GatewayVPN bypasses these geo-blocks, so you can access shows, movies, and websites that aren’t normally available in your country — all without sacrificing speed.
