help QVPN Service FAQ
Is QVPN Service a commercial VPN provider like NordVPN?
No. QVPN Service is a QNAP application that turns a compatible QNAP NAS into a VPN server or client; it does not sell a global consumer server network of its own.
Which VPN protocols does QVPN Service support?
QVPN Service supports WireGuard, OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec, PPTP and QNAP's QBelt protocol, although availability can depend on the QNAP system and software version. PPTP is retained for compatibility but is not the preferred choice for strong modern security.
Can I connect to my QNAP NAS from a phone through QVPN?
Yes. QNAP provides QVPN Device Client software for Android and iOS as well as Windows and macOS, and standard OpenVPN or WireGuard clients may also be used where configured.
Can QVPN route all of my NAS traffic through another VPN provider?
Yes, a QNAP device can operate as a VPN client and use the connection as its default gateway. QNAP documents OpenVPN connections with providers including ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Surfshark and Astrill.
