Getting started with NordVPN after buying from Blue Mint

Bought NordVPN from Blue Mint? Follow these steps to activate your account and connect for the first time.

1. Activate your account

1. Once your payment is complete, the service is activated automatically.
2. NordVPN sends an email with the subject "Activate your account" to the email address of your Blue Mint account.
3. Click the link in the email and set a password for your Nord Account. You will use these details to log in to every app.

Can't find the email? Check your Spam and Promotions folders. If it hasn't arrived within a few hours, open a support ticket from the client area and we will look into it.

2. Install the app

NordVPN has apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone/iPad, extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge, and apps for Android TV and Apple TV. Pick the guide for your device:

• Install NordVPN on Windows
• Install NordVPN on Android
• Install NordVPN on iPhone and iPad
• Install and use NordVPN on Linux
• Install NordVPN on macOS

3. Connect

1. Open the app and tap Log in.
2. Sign in with your Nord Account email and password.
3. Tap Quick Connect to connect to the best available server, or pick a country from the list.

One account lets you have up to 10 devices connected at the same time. You can install the app on more, as long as no more than 10 are connected at once. If you set NordVPN up on your router, every device at home is protected and the router counts as one connection.

Recommended settings

• Turn on Kill Switch so your connection is cut if the VPN drops.
• Turn on Threat Protection to block dangerous sites and ads.
