Servers we look after every day

Norka servers run in different countries and with different hosting companies: if one has a problem, another is still there. We keep working to add more countries and make the connection faster and more stable.

In the app you can pick a country yourself or leave it on "Automatic" and Norka will choose. The response time of each server is shown right in the list.

Support that stays reachable, even when the connection is not

You can message us right from the app: gear icon → «Поддержка» (Support). Your message gets through even if your Norka connection is not working at the moment, because support runs separately from it. Our reply arrives in the same place, and the gear icon shows a dot.

Reviews

Translated from Russian.

Fast and stable
I've been using it for a few weeks. It connects fast, the connection doesn't drop, and speed barely suffers. I especially like that on my phone I can just turn it on and forget about it.
Norka user
No dropouts
I tried several similar services before, and almost all of them had dropouts or trouble switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data. Here everything recovers on its own, no manual reconnecting.
Norka user
For the whole family
I connected my phone, my laptop and a couple more devices in the family. Setup is simple, everything works independently, and nobody needs their own account.
Norka user
A really good service
Overall a really good service: clear interface, fast connection, stable. I'd like to see more locations over time and a bit more information about the current connection.
Norka user
Genuinely surprised
I rarely write reviews, but I was genuinely surprised. Usually these services either take ages to connect or start acting up after a couple of hours. Here you just turn it on and use it, no constant fiddling with settings.

Why "Norka"

In Russian, "norka" means a little burrow. A quiet hideaway where you are safe and nobody is watching. That is Norka: your connection goes into an encrypted channel, and only you know what is inside.

It is also the Russian word for mink. A small, agile, quick predator, equally at home on land and in water. That is how we build the service: light, nimble and tireless.

Norka started as a service for family and friends. So we build it the way we would for people close to us: no ads, no tracking, and real people in support.
