Clear answers before you buy.
Can I still buy directly on PrivacyHero.com?
No. PrivacyHero.com is now a product and information website. Purchase hardware through FlashRouters, Newegg, eBay or Walmart from the links on our Where to Buy page.
Where do existing customers log in?
Use app.privacyhero.com to activate or manage your router, settings and service subscriptions. There is no separate store account on this marketing website.
Does every Privacy Hero 2 include NordVPN?
No. Choose the Privacy Hero 2 + NordVPN package for NordVPN service, or the standard Privacy Hero 2 router with Privacy Hero VPN and one year of Privacy Premium.
What happens after my first year?
You can continue with paid Privacy Premium or Privacy Core. If service expires and you do not renew, the router remains usable for basic internet and Wi-Fi, but subscribed VPN, security, cloud control and streaming features stop.
Do I need a phone app?
No. The router is managed through a browser at app.privacyhero.com on your phone, tablet or computer.
Is Streaming Relocation the same as a VPN?
No. Streaming Relocation uses separate DNS-based routing for supported services. Traffic using the feature may bypass the VPN tunnel; streaming subscriptions and regional availability are separate.
