Step 1

To install the VPN service on your computer we will use our VPNArea App. You can download it by clicking on the "VPNArea App" button above.


Step 2

Launch the downloaded .dmg file from Step 1, the container will open a new (Finder) folder and you will see the VPNArea Chameleon app inside.


You need to first Drag the App to Applications folder before you start it. Do not start it from the DMG container/folder directly please.

Go to applications folder and start VPNArea App by double clicking on it.
You may be asked if you're sure you want to run the application, click Open once the dialogue appears.

If you're looking to simply get connected and start using VPNArea it only takes a few seconds to get started, but if you are curious to find out what more the app can offer, here is some guidance on what some of the features are:

- "Dedicated IP" Tab - If you have purchased a dedicated IP address you can add it there and your private VPN server with Dedicated IP will become available in that tab.
- "Special" Tab - Those would be special servers, like the NFLX servers that can unblock Netflix and other streaming platforms, or the Double VPN servers that provide double encryption of your connection.
- "P2P" Tab - While most of VPNArea servers that don't have P2P in their server name also support torrents and P2P activity, the server you will find in "P2P" tab are futher optimised for P2P performance
- "Recommended" Tab - Those are server closer to you in distance and are likely to perform better speed-wise.
- "Favourites" Tab - There you can find servers you use most frequently.

You can also sort servers by Load, Speed and Distance.

In Settings section you can enable Killswich which will protect your IP from being exposed in case of sudden disconnection, you can also use the Auto IP changer or enable Ad Blocking among other controls.
