VpnHood!

Get an access key

VpnHood! CLIENT has no servers of its own, so it connects with an access key, also called a server key. You get one from whoever runs the server.

What an access key looks like

It is one long line of text that starts with vh:. It tells the app which server to reach and lets you in, and you add it to the app only once.

How to get one

Ask whoever runs the server

A friend, a community or an organization that runs a VpnHood! server can send you a key, and some people may sell one. Copy the whole line.

Try to get your key from reputable people, as your traffic goes through their server. Keep it to yourself: anyone who has it can use that server.

Run your own server

If you have nobody to ask, run a server of your own and create your keys there. See how to run your own VPN.

Use an app with its own servers

VpnHood! CONNECT has servers of its own, so it needs no access key. See VpnHood! CONNECT.
