Turbo VPN is a VPN application for Windows that routes internet traffic through an encrypted connection to a remote server. It is used to change the public IP address presented to websites and protect traffic traveling between the computer and the VPN server. The service also has apps for macOS, Android and iOS, along with a Chrome extension.
The Windows app uses AES-256 encryption for the VPN connection. This places an encrypted tunnel between the computer and the selected server, including when the computer connects through a shared Wi-Fi network.
Server locations
Turbo VPN offers two ways to establish a connection. The Connect button selects a server automatically, while the location list lets the user choose where the connection exits the VPN network. Selecting a different location changes the server used for browsing and the IP address visible to online services.
The service also groups servers for streaming and gaming.
Split tunneling
Split tunneling lets users choose which applications or websites use the VPN. Selected traffic passes through the encrypted tunnel, while other traffic continues through the regular network connection.
For example, a browser can use Turbo VPN while another application keeps its ordinary internet route. Traffic left outside the tunnel does not receive the VPN’s encryption.
Kill switch
The automatic kill switch handles interruptions to the VPN connection. If that connection drops, it blocks the device’s internet access until the VPN connection is restored. This prevents traffic from continuing over the ordinary connection with the computer’s original public IP address during the interruption.
VPN plans
Turbo VPN’s free service includes unlimited bandwidth but restricts the choice of server locations and is limited to one device.
Paid plans expand server access and allow simultaneous connections on multiple devices. The allowance depends on the selected plan, so a subscription can cover a combination of computers and mobile devices rather than only the Windows app.
