NordVPN for Secure Work Anywhere

IT GOAT helps organizations provide NordVPN protection to employees who work remotely, travel frequently, or connect through networks the business does not control.

NordVPN encrypts internet traffic, protects the user’s public IP address, and adds safeguards against malicious websites, trackers, scams, and unsafe downloads. The result is an additional layer of security and privacy for work performed beyond the company network.

NordVPN

Employees no longer work from one office or one trusted network.

They connect from home offices, hotels, airports, customer locations, mobile hotspots, and public Wi-Fi. NordVPN creates an encrypted connection between the employee’s device and a VPN server, helping protect online activity while using networks outside the company’s control.

NordVPN is best suited for individual internet privacy and secure browsing. Organizations requiring centralized user administration, private application access, and company-wide network policies should use NordLayer instead.

9,200+ Servers

NordVPN operates more than 9,200 servers across 224 locations, giving users a broad range of connection options while working or traveling.

Up to 10 Devices

One NordVPN account can protect up to 10 devices simultaneously, including computers, phones, tablets, and other supported devices.

Encrypted Internet Connections

NordVPN encrypts internet traffic between the employee’s device and the selected VPN server.

This helps protect online activity when employees work from hotels, airports, coffee shops, home networks, and other locations outside the company’s direct control.

Threat Protection

Threat Protection blocks ads, trackers, and unsafe domains using DNS filtering while the user is connected to NordVPN.

Threat Protection Pro can also identify malicious URLs, warn users about scam websites, scan downloaded files for malware, and check supported applications for known security vulnerabilities. Feature availability varies by plan, operating system, and installation method.

Automatic Kill Switch

The Kill Switch can disconnect the device from the internet if the VPN connection unexpectedly drops.

This helps prevent traffic from continuing over an unprotected connection without the employee realizing the VPN is no longer active.

Dedicated IP

A dedicated IP provides a consistent VPN address assigned to one account rather than shared among multiple users.

It can be useful for accessing IP-restricted resources, reducing repeated verification prompts, and maintaining a more consistent connection identity. Dedicated IP is an optional add-on and is not required for every user.

Dark Web Monitor

NordVPN can monitor selected email addresses and alert the user when associated information appears in known data breaches.

The number and type of identifiers monitored depend on the selected NordVPN plan.

Multiple Devices and Locations

NordVPN supports up to 10 simultaneous device connections and offers servers across 224 locations.

Employees can use supported applications on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and other compatible platforms.

Corporate VPNsConnecting employees to a private company networkOften focused on internal access rather than general online privacy
Zero-trust platformsCentrally controlling access to company applications and resourcesRequires broader administration and policy configuration
NordVPNIndividual internet privacy, encrypted connections, and additional browsing protectionNot designed for centralized workforce access management; NordLayer serves that purpose
