Start with the source

Download VPN software only from the official vendor site. Avoid random mirrors, file-sharing sites, repackaged installers, and links from unknown messages.

For ZBEVPN, use the official download portal and checksum files when you need to verify a release.

Keep Windows healthy

A VPN is only one part of security. Keep Windows updated, keep the browser updated, avoid unknown extensions, and do not ignore security warnings from the operating system.

A secure network path cannot fully protect a compromised endpoint.

Understand what the VPN protects

A VPN helps protect traffic between your device and the VPN service, especially on networks you do not control. It does not make malicious websites safe, prevent phishing by itself, or replace password hygiene.

Use the VPN together with normal safe computing practices.
