ESET VPN
ESET VPN (Virtual Private Network) feature is part of the ESET HOME Security Ultimate and ESET Small Business
Security tiers. ESET VPN allows users to establish a private network connection when using public and private
networks. When you connect to a location in the ESET VPN app, your device is assigned a new IP address and your
online traffic becomes secured and encrypted. This makes it more difficult for third parties to track your activities
online and steal data. Encryption occurs in real-time, making it difficult for third parties to track your online
activity.

Due to local legislative and sales barriers, ESET HOME Security Ultimate and ESET Small Business Security
tiers are only available in some countries:
• For ESET HOME Security Ultimate tier availability, see the Knowledgebase article.
• For ESET Small Business Security tier availability, see the Knowledgebase article.

Working with ESET VPN

After product activation, press the ON/OFF button to connect the ESET VPN. Your virtual IP address, location, and
communication protocol are displayed on the main program window.

Main menu options:

• Connection

• Setup

• Help and Support

4
No logs policy
ESET VPN does not store any logs that can identify users. ESET VPN does not keep connection logs, IP timestamps,
session logs, or monitor users' activity.

The following data is not stored:

• The historical record of VPN sessions

• Source IP

• Sites you visited

The following is stored in the server's memory for the duration of the user's connection. This data is immediately
discarded when the user disconnects:

• Anonymous identificator

• Time of connection

• Amount of data transferred

The following data is stored in a central location:

• Number of parallel connections at any given time to prevent rampant abuse and account sharing.

• A counter is incremented that stores total number of bytes downloaded/uploaded in 30 days.

Anything that is not mentioned above is not stored.

Locations
You can change your location anytime from the main program window. Click the currently chosen location and
change it to another one.

Locations are divided into two groups:

• All—All available locations you can choose from. Use the Search field to find the location faster.

• Favorites—Group with all locations you marked with a heart sign in the All group.

Connection
Proxy settings
This setting is available only for desktop app. To configure the LAN proxy, select HTTP in the Proxy section and
enter Port, Address, Username and Password.

5
Auto-connect
When enabled, the ESET VPN app connects to the last used location.

Kill Switch
This setting is available only for desktop app. The Kill Switch feature blocks all connectivity outside the VPN tunnel
to ensure there is zero chance of any leak when the VPN connection drops.

Mode

When you enable Kill Switch, the following modes are available from the drop-down menu:

• Always-on—Blocks all internet access unless you are connected to the VPN, ensuring security even if the
app crashes or your computer restarts.
• Automatic—Enables the Kill Switch with the firewall when you connect to the VPN and disables it when
you disconnect, blocking the internet if the VPN drops or the app crashes.

When to enable Kill Switch?

From the following options, select when you want to enable Kill Switch:

• While connecting to VPN—Blocks all traffic while the VPN connection is being established to prevent any
leaks.
• After connecting to VPN—Waits for the VPN connection to be fully established, preventing temporary
internet interruptions.

6
Connection mode
The default option is Automatic, although you can select the connection mode manually. Set it to Manual, and
select the Protocol and Port from the drop-down menu. There are six protocols available regardless of your
operating system:

• WireGuard—A free, open-source communication protocol that uses the following algorithms:

a)ChaCha20 for symmetric encryption, authenticated with Poly1305

b)Curve25519 for ECDH
c)BLAKE2s for hashing and keyed hashing
d)SipHash24 for hashtable keys
e)HKDF for key derivation
It is typically faster than UDP and TCP protocols and more flexible than IKEv2, making it a great option for
securing your online activity.
• IKEv2—A tunneling protocol providing a secure key exchange session paired with IPsec to ensure data
encryption and authentication. It is usually the fastest but can be easily blocked. IKEv2 implementation
utilizes AES-256-GCM for encryption, SHA-256 for integrity checks. Desktop and Android apps use ECP384
for Diffie-Hellman key negotiation (DH group 20), and iOS uses ECP521 for Diffie-Hellman key negotiation
(DH group 21).

• UDP—This mode uses OpenVPN protocol. UDP is usually the fastest protocol to run OpenVPN on because
there is less data verification, but it can also be blocked easily.

• TCP—This mode uses OpenVPN protocol. Due to multiple data verifications, could be slower, but it is
resilient to bad network conditions and ensures stable connections.

• Stealth—Encapsulates OpenVPN in a TLS tunnel via Stunnel. It is an OpenVPN tunnel masked to look like
HTTPS traffic. We recommend using this protocol if all other methods fail.

• Wstunnel—Encapsulates OpenVPN in a WebSocket. We recommend using this protocol if all other

methods fail.

OpenVPN implementation uses the AES-256-GCM cipher with SHA512 auth and a 4096-bit RSA key. Perfect
forward secrecy is also supported.

Setup
The VPN setup menu is divided into the following sections:

Launch on startup
When enabled, the VPN app will automatically run after your device starts.

7
Show notifications
When enabled, you will be notified when the VPN app connects or disconnects.

Show location load

When enabled, the green bar under locations is displayed. The longer the green bar is, the busier this location is.

Location order
In the drop-down menu, select whether you want to arrange the locations alphabetically, geographically or by
latency.

Language
Choose the VPN app's language.

Theme
Set the VPN app theme to Dark, Light or Sync with OS setting.

Advanced setup

Advanced setup
Network options
Auto-secure networks—When enabled, all new networks are marked as Secured.

Current network—The network to which your VPN app is currently connected.

Other networks—All available networks to VPN connection.

Settings available for all networks:

Auto-secure—Click the toggle to enable, and the VPN will be automatically connected when your device is
connected to this network.

To make the Auto-secure and Auto-secure networks features work properly, you must enable the Auto
connect option.

Preferred protocol—When enabled, you can select the Protocol and Port from the drop-down menu.

Manual connection mode settings are not applied if a Preferred protocol is enabled.

Forget this network—Click to remove its settings which prevents your device to connect to VPN automatically.

8
Split tunneling
This feature is available for desktops and Android devices. Split tunneling allows you to decide what apps, IPs and
hostnames go through the ESET VPN encryption and what gets connected directly to the internet.

When enabled, you can select Exclusive or Inclusive mode from the drop-down menu and add the Apps or click
IPs & hostnames, and type the IP address or hostname to include in or exclude from the VPN tunnel.

Split tunneling will not work correctly with websites that redirect IP check to a Content Delivery Network
infrastructure, for example [Link].

Advanced parameters
Advanced parameters enable hidden feature flags that do not warrant a user interface. It is usually used for
debugging/very advanced troubleshooting.

• ws-log-api-response—Instruct the VPN app to log the .json received from the server API endpoint. An app
restart is not required, as this setting takes effect immediately.

• ws-wireguard-verbose-logging—Instruct the app to log all WireGuard service messages. By default, to

reduce log bloat, the app will only log service startup messages until the connection is established. After that,
any status messages (for example, keypair setup, keep-alive, etc.) will be discarded.

• ws-screen-transition-hotkeys—Set this advanced parameter to enable several keyboard shortcuts to

facilitate screenshotting each screen, which will transition you to a specific screen.

• ws-use-icmp-pings—Instruct the app to use legacy-style ICMP pings instead of curl requests.

• ws-connect-show-locations 1—Keep the locations tray open after location selection.

MAC Spoofing
This feature is available for desktops. Click the toggle to enable MAC Spoofing, and select the interface from the
drop-down menu.

Auto-rotate MAC

Click the toggle to enable Auto-rotate MAC. After you switch networks or disconnect from your current network
and reconnect to it, your MAC address will be set to a random hexadecimal value to increase your device's
security and protection.

Ignore SSL errors

If a TLS (Transport Layer Security) interception device on a network attempts to bump SSL, API calls will fail.
Enabling this feature makes API communications insecure, as the app will not validate the TLS certificate's
authenticity.

Client-side keepalive
Client-side keepalive is a feature that prevents prolonged idle tunnel states by emitting occasional ICMP packets

9
over the tunnel.
