Why you need a VPN on your Android phone
Your Android phone joins every café, airport and hotel network you pass. A VPN for Android encrypts the traffic of every app, so the network owner and anyone nearby see one encrypted connection, not the sites and apps you use.
Android has a VPN menu in Settings, but no VPN service behind it: you still need an app. Atomic VPN is on Google Play, with 6500+ servers in 88+ countries, an audited no-logs policy and plans from $1.99 a month.
Built for how you use Android
Four Android problems, and how Atomic VPN handles each.
Every app, every network
Chrome, Gmail, banking apps: Atomic VPN encrypts it all on Wi-Fi and mobile data.
Cheaper than a coffee
$1.99 a month on the yearly plan, every feature included. Cancel in one click.
No free-VPN tradeoff
Many free Play Store VPNs log or sell data. Atomic VPN has an audited no-logs policy.
Android, PC and Mac
One account covers 5 devices: Android phone and tablet, Windows PC and Mac.
How to set up a VPN on Android
Four steps, two minutes, no manual settings.
Get the app
Install Atomic VPN from Google Play and sign in with your account.
Allow the connection
The first time, Android asks to set up a VPN connection. Tap OK.
Pick a server
Choose a country or let the app take the fastest one, then tap connect.
Look for the key icon
A key icon appears in the status bar when your Android phone is protected.
Turn on Always-on VPN in 30 seconds
Open Settings → Network & internet → VPN (on Samsung: Connections → More connection settings → VPN). Tap the gear next to Atomic VPN and switch on Always-on VPN. Your phone then connects at startup and reconnects if the link drops.
Also switch on Block connections without VPN. If the tunnel goes down, Android stops traffic instead of sending it unencrypted. Menu names can differ slightly by phone maker and Android version.
One account for Android, PC and Mac
Atomic VPN has apps for Android, Windows and Mac. One account covers 5 devices at once, so your phone, tablet and laptop are protected with the same login.
Setting the VPN up on a router doesn't use one of your 5 device slots, so home Wi-Fi can be covered too while your phone and laptop keep their own slots.
Pick a term. Everything else is the same

VPN for Android: common questions
Yes, if you use public Wi-Fi. A VPN encrypts the traffic of every app on networks you don't control, so the network owner and other users can't see which sites you visit.
Not a VPN service. Android has VPN settings, including Always-on VPN, but you need a VPN app or your own server to connect to. Atomic VPN installs from Google Play and shows up in those settings.
One with an audited no-logs policy, run by a company you can name. Atomic VPN has an independently audited no-logs policy, RAM-only servers and WireGuard speed, from $1.99 a month.
Free VPN apps exist on Google Play, but many log your activity or show ads to pay for servers. Atomic VPN is a paid VPN from $1.99/mo with an audited no-logs policy. One month is $5.99 if you only need it short term.
Install the VPN app from Google Play, sign in and tap connect. Android asks once to allow the VPN connection: tap OK. A key icon then shows in the status bar.
A small speed and battery cost. Encryption uses some power and adds a hop, but WireGuard keeps both low. Some sites may also ask you to confirm it's you when your IP changes.
Yes. One account covers 5 devices at once: Android phones and tablets, Windows and Mac. A router connection doesn't use one of the slots.
Much safer. A VPN encrypts your traffic before it leaves your phone, so others on the café or airport network can't read it. Still be careful with sites that look wrong.
