Choosing the virtual server

About the virtual server

The virtual server defines your virtual location as being in the selected country. You can select a virtual server in the app's interface. You will appear to be in the selected country to the websites and apps you open.

If you want to appear to the Internet as a visitor from a different country, you can change the country specified in the virtual server settings.

You can select a specific country for visiting online shops or social networks, or configure a secure connection for a specific website or app. The secure connection settings for websites take priority over the settings specified for website categories.

If you are using the free version, you can't select the virtual server. The virtual server is always selected automatically.

Kaspersky app at the moment supports the following VPN server locations.

Changing the virtual server

To change the virtual server:

1. Open VPN.
2. Tap the current country name.
3. Select the new location.

If you want the app to select the fastest server automatically, select the The fastest server option.

If you are using the free version, you can't select the virtual server. The virtual server is always selected automatically.

Configuring change of the virtual server

When you switch between apps, websites or website categories with different virtual server settings, you can configure which server Kaspersky app uses—the current one, or the one specified for the app or website you are opening now.

You can configure the change of the virtual server if you are using the unlimited version.

To configure the change of the virtual server:

1. Open VPN.
2. Tap Settings > Smart Protection.
3. Tap Which VPN server to use.
4. Specify which action Kaspersky app takes if you switch between apps, websites or website categories for which specific virtual servers are configured:
   • From the settings. The app changes your virtual location based on which location you specified for the app or website you are opening now.
   • Current server. The app does not change your virtual location. You continue using the current virtual server.
   • Ask. The app shows a notification where you can specify whether or not to change your virtual location.

     If you choose not to change the virtual server for the specified website or app, the app will not ask to change the server for this website or app for the next 6 hours.
