[H2] FAQs

Is the Brave Browser safe?

Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks privacy-invasive ads & trackers. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. It upgrades every webpage possible to secure https connections. And it does all this by default.
It’s also built off the open-source Chromium Web core, which powers browsers used by billions of people worldwide. This source code is arguably vetted by more security researchers than any other browser. In short, not only is Brave safe to use, it’s much safer than almost any other browser. Learn more.
How do I download & install Brave?

Brave is available on nearly all desktop computers (Windows, macOS, Linux) and nearly every mobile device (Android and iOS). To get started, simply download the Brave browser for desktop, for Android, or for iOS.
Does Brave have a VPN?

Yes! Brave Firewall + VPN protects everything you do online, on your entire device, even outside the Brave Browser. One subscription covers up to 5 devices, across Android, iOS, and desktop.
Does Brave block YouTube ads?

Yes, the Brave browser can block ads on video sites like YouTube. That includes on-page ads, pre-roll and mid-roll ads, end-card ads, and more. By blocking ads, you get a cleaner experience and faster video load. Learn more about Brave’s YouTube ad blocking.
What is the Brave Search engine?

Brave Search is the private, independent search engine that’s default for most new users of the Brave browser. It’s also available in any other browser at search.brave.com. Brave Search serves fast, accurate results from its own independent index of the Web, and offers unique features like a powerful AI-answer engine. Unlike some other search engines, Brave Search doesn’t profile you; it can’t share, sell, or lose your personal data, because it’s not collected in the first place. Learn more about Brave Search.
What languages is Brave available in?

The Brave Browser is available in nearly 160 languages in all, including four different dialects of Chinese. Brave Search is currently available in almost 20 different languages, with support for even more languages on the horizon.
Who owns Brave?

The Brave Browser, Brave Search, and all their various features are made by Brave Software Inc, an independent, privately-held company. Brave is not beholden to any other tech company, and works every single day to fight Big Tech’s terrible privacy abuses. Brave exists to help real people, not some faceless tech company.
Is Brave open source?

Yes. The Brave Browser is built on the open-source Chromium Web core and our own client code is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
How does Brave compare to Chrome?

Simply put, the Brave Browser is 3x faster than Google Chrome. By blocking privacy-invading ads & trackers by default, there’s less stuff to load on every single webpage you visit. That means pages load much faster, saving you time, money, and battery life. It also means you’re much safer online. Learn more.
Is Brave free?

Yes, Brave is completely free to use. Simply download the Brave browser for desktop, for Android, or for iOS to get started. You can also use Brave Search free from any browser at search.brave.com, or set it as your default search engine.
Brave also has some great, subscription-based features, including Brave Talk Premium and Brave Firewall + VPN.
What is BAT, and how do I earn it?

BAT is short for Basic Attention Token. BAT is a digital asset, and a key (but totally optional) part of the Brave Rewards ecosystem. Here’s how it works:
Brave Rewards gives you the option to view first-party, privacy-protecting ads while you browse (these ads are from the Brave Private Ads network). If you choose to view them, you earn BAT via the Brave Rewards program.
You can keep BAT like any other digital asset, or use it to tip the content publishers you love. Brave even gives you a secure way to store BAT (and any other asset), with Brave Wallet. And, again, Brave Rewards is a totally optional program.
Other tech companies steal your data to sell ads—to them, you are the product. Brave is different. We think your attention is valuable (and private!), and that you should get a fair share of the revenue for any advertising you choose to view. That fair share is rewarded in BAT.

And thanks to our unique, privacy-preserving login method, Brave can’t even tell if you’ve ever used the VPN. These claims have been independently verified through a software security audit and an infrastructure security audit.

[H2] FAQs about Brave VPN

How does Brave Firewall + VPN work?

A firewall forms a secure barrier between your device (phone, tablet, or computer) and the Internet—it blocks unwanted trackers, malware, and more from your device. A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your Internet traffic as it passes between your device and the websites you access for added privacy and security. Brave Firewall + VPN offers the benefits of both a VPN and a firewall to protect you online. It protects at the network level, on your entire device, on every app you use.
Can I protect more than one device? Which platforms are supported?

Yes, one Brave VPN subscription can protect up to 10 devices. To add a new device, simply download the Brave browser on your device, and log in with your VPN credentials. See more detailed instructions.
Brave Firewall + VPN is available on Android, Windows, iOS, and macOS (support for Linux is coming soon). You must have the Brave browser installed to use Brave VPN.
How much does Brave VPN cost? How do I buy it?

Brave Firewall + VPN is a subscription service. It’s available in the Brave Browser on desktop and mobile devices for $9.99/month or $99.99/year. Each subscription comes with a 7-day free trial.
To start a trial or purchase on desktop, visit account.brave.com. To start a trial or purchase on mobile, open the Brave Browser on your mobile device, open the Settings menu ("…" or “⋮”), then toggle on “Brave VPN.”
Note: In the future, it will be possible to pay for Brave VPN with BAT.
What is the cancelation policy for Brave VPN?

When you sign up for Brave VPN, you’ll automatically start the 7-day free trial process. After 7 days, your payment method will be charged. You can cancel your subscription—free of charge—at any point during the 7-day free trial period. See detailed cancellation instructions.

Who makes Brave VPN? What if I have a problem with my VPN connection?

Brave VPN is powered by Guardian. Guardian is a tracker-blocking VPN infrastructure, designed by iOS security researchers to block more identifiers than just your IP address. Through Guardian’s backbone, Brave VPN offers high-speed VPN coverage in many regions around the world. If you need help with Brave VPN, contact Brave’s support team.
Is Brave VPN audited?

Brave VPN is offered via a partnership with Guardian, which undergoes regular third-party audits by trusted security firms. The initial software security audit occurred in February 2024 and the initial infrastructure security audit occurred in April 2024. These audits help verify that Brave VPN practices and production configurations align with our stringent stance on data privacy. Guardian shares these reports in full in order to provide as much transparency as possible to end users.
Does Brave VPN have a no-logs policy?

Brave does not log or otherwise keep any record of user activity—that means no logging of traffic, DNS requests, connection data, IP addresses, or bandwidth. As an additional precaution, the “journald” process on all production VPN nodes is configured to not store any form of log data in a persistent manner.
By design, it’s impossible for Brave to discover anything about your VPN usage other than the fact that a particular email address purchased a subscription. In fact, Brave can’t even tell if you’ve ever used the VPN.
The only information Brave ever sees is the email address you sign up with and your payment method (which is processed and protected according to CCPA, GDPR, and other relevant privacy legislation).
See Guardian’s full no-logs policy for more information.
How does Brave VPN’s private subscription process work?

Brave VPN uses a unique credentialing method that allows us to see if an email address has an active Brave VPN subscription, and nothing more. Brave is unable to tell when—or even if—you connect to the VPN. That means it’s impossible for us to know who connects, when they connect, or what/how much data they transmit. Check our no-logs policy for more information.
On desktop (or for subscriptions purchased on a mobile device via our desktop account portal), you’ll need an email address, payment method, and billing address to start a subscription. However, this information is stored on Stripe’s servers, not on Brave’s; the only info Brave uses to authenticate you into the VPN is the email address you sign up with, and whether or not your subscription is active.
For purchases made via the mobile app stores, whatever billing/account info is required by the app stores is sufficient to subscribe to Brave VPN—and this info (e.g. payment method and billing address) are handled by the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. Your billing info may be stored by the merchant you complete your purchase with, but never on Brave’s servers. We cannot link the use of Brave VPN to any individual.
What kinds of servers does Brave VPN use?

Brave relies on Guardian’s infrastructure which uses physical servers running hypervisor software to support several virtual machine (VM) instances on each piece of hardware. For security purposes, Guardian does not use VMs in environments where it does not also control the bare-metal server running the hypervisor software; Guardian always retains exclusive control over the physical servers.
In contrast to using diskless servers, we opt for an independent and ephemeral credential store on each VPN server, generated based on the validation of a cryptographically-signed “proof of purchase” data blob from a separate authentication server. No user-attributable information is stored on the VPN server or is accessible by the VPN server in this process. With a diskless approach, the lack of persistent storage often means that each VPN server would need to have direct access to common central authentication server(s). We opt to instead ensure that any persistent data is not useful for user identification in the first place.
What speeds can I expect to get while using Brave VPN?

Brave VPN is powered by Guardian’s infrastructure of extremely fast, state-of-the-art VPN servers. Most servers in the network have an uplink speed of 10 Gbps. However, unlike most other VPN providers, we’re honest with our users that those speeds aren’t realistic under everyday circumstances. Under realistic conditions, when multiple users send their Internet traffic through Brave VPN servers at once, you can reliably expect to achieve speeds of up to 500 Mbps, depending on your default Internet connection speeds.
