What’s in the Windows app
Every setting, by its real name
Pick a tile. The real Windows app shows where the setting lives, and the card says what it does.
Kill switchBlock traffic if the VPN drops
Off until you turn it on
If the VPN connection drops, your PC’s traffic stops instead of leaving outside the tunnel. On Windows it works as a system firewall rule: the app uses Windows Filtering Platform filters.
How the kill switch worksDNS leak protectionBlock IPv6 and keep DNS inside the VPN
On by default
Your DNS lookups, how your PC finds a website’s address, stay inside the VPN, and IPv6 traffic is blocked.

You choose
Blocks known ad, tracking and malware sites on your PC, from one shared blocklist. It doesn’t scan files and isn’t antivirus.
Auto-connectConnect automatically on launch
You choose
CopVPN connects as soon as the app opens, so you don’t have to click the power button each time.
Auto startLaunch CopVPN on system startup
You choose
CopVPN opens when Windows starts. Turn on Auto-connect too, and your PC connects without you touching the app.
ProtocolHow CopVPN encrypts your traffic
5 protocols
Optimal picks one for you. Or choose any of the 5 protocols yourself, by name:
OptimalPicks the best protocol for your network automatically.
WireGuardFastest. Best for everyday use where VPNs aren’t blocked.
OpenVPN UDPReliable and widely supported. Good if WireGuard is unstable.
OpenVPN TCPSlower, but gets through firewalls that block UDP, such as hotels, offices and schools.
AmneziaWGDisguised WireGuard. For networks that detect and block VPN traffic.
StealthLooks like ordinary web browsing. For the most restrictive networks, when everything else is blocked.
Choose Optimal and Smart Connect tries another protocol by itself if one can’t connect.
Not in the Windows app: split tunneling. It’s in the Android app, and the browser extension has a “Bypass list”.
