A VPN keeps your connection private. It doesn’t stop scam calls or messages, fake websites or viruses, and it doesn’t make you anonymous: the sites you sign in to still know it’s you. So is it worth it? Yes, to keep the networks you use from seeing where you go, and to connect through home. Not as protection from scams, people who trick you, or viruses. Keep your phone updated and be careful with links, with or without Orli VPN.
It doesn’t stop scams.
A scam call, text or email reaches you the same way with or without a VPN. If a message asks you to act fast, pay, or share a code, stop and check with someone you trust.
Worried about a scam?
If you’ve lost money or shared your bank details, call your bank first. Then report the scam, so others can be warned too.
Here is where to report it or get advice in our four server countries. Living somewhere else? Your local police can help.
Scammers sometimes copy these names too. Use the links here, or type the address yourself.

It doesn’t stop viruses.
Orli VPN doesn’t scan files or apps. Install apps only from the App Store, and keep your iPhone or iPad up to date in Settings → General → Software Update.
It doesn’t make you anonymous.
A VPN hides your address and keeps the network from seeing where you go. But when you sign in to a website, that website knows it’s you, with or without Orli VPN.
It doesn’t hide what you share.
What you post, send or upload reaches the people and companies you send it to. A VPN protects the way there, not what you choose to share.
What it does do.
It keeps the Wi-Fi you join and your internet provider from seeing which websites you visit, and it lets you connect through another country. Read how Orli VPN works.
