The VPN interface displays the status of the app: connected or disconnected. The server location for users with the free version is automatically set by Bitdefender to the most appropriate server, while premium users have the possibility to change the server location they want to connect to by selecting it from the SELECT LOCATION list.

To connect or disconnect, simply click on the status displayed at the top of the screen. The menu bar icon shows black when the VPN is connected, and white when the VPN is disconnected.

While connected, the elapsed time and the IP address automatically assigned to your device are displayed on the lower part of the interface. To get access to more options, click the icon in the upper-right side:

• MyAccount: details about your Bitdefender account and VPN subscription are displayed.

Click Switch Account if you want to sign in with another account.

• Settings: depending on your needs, you can customize the behavior of your product:

• Upgrade to Premium: if you are using the free version of the product, you can upgrade to the premium plan from here.

• Support: contact our Customer Care department in case you need help in setting up your product.

• Quit: exit the application.
