Fortnite

Using a VPN is not itself against Epic's Community Rules. What gets accounts sanctioned is what some people use a VPN for: manipulating matchmaking to find easier opponents, or getting back onto an account Epic already banned. Epic's sanctions run from a matchmaking ban to a permanent account ban, decided case by case. Connect for privacy and you're on solid ground. Connect to game the system and you're not.

That message is about your connection, not your gameplay. It fires when the IP address you're on is shared by a lot of people, or when your apparent location moves between sessions. Work down this list and stop when the game lets you back in.

1. Disconnect and reconnect in the VPN Super app. You'll usually land on a different IP, which clears the flag on its own.
2. Tap a different protocol on the home screen, then reconnect. Some networks get on better with one than another.
3. Pick a server in the region you normally play from.
4. In Fortnite, open Settings, the Game tab, and set Matchmaking Region back to Auto so the game and the VPN agree.

Usually no. Your traffic takes an extra hop to the VPN server before it reaches Epic, and that hop costs milliseconds. The exception is an internet provider that routes you badly, where the VPN's path happens to be cleaner. Test it honestly: check the latency next to each server in the app, then play several unranked matches with and without the VPN before you decide.

Use Fastest Location, or pick manually using the latency figure next to each server in the app. Lower is better. Physical distance is a poor guide on its own, because routing and peering matter more than miles. Whatever you pick, stay in the region you normally play in.

No, and VPN Super won't help you do it. Epic treats matchmaking manipulation as a rules violation and can restrict matchmaking or ban the account outright. Fortnite also ships its own Matchmaking Region setting, and Epic's advice there is: "We recommend using Auto for the best connection." If Auto isn't giving you a good game, the problem is usually your connection, not your region.

On mobile, yes. VPN Super's free version covers 20 countries and 42 locations on iOS, and 15 countries and 26 locations on Android, with ads. On PC there is no free version, because the Windows app is Premium only. So if you play Fortnite on a Windows PC, a free plan won't cover you.

Only if the problem is your network, not your store. Fortnite is back on the App Store on iPhone and iPad around the world, with Australia the exception. A VPN changes the route your traffic takes; it doesn't change which country your Apple account is registered to or what your store lists.

VPN Super doesn't have a console app, and configuring a VPN by hand outside the app isn't supported on any platform. If you play Fortnite mainly on console, this page probably isn't for you.

A VPN replaces the IP address other services see with the VPN server's address, which takes away the most common way someone finds a target. It is not a DDoS protection product and VPN Super doesn't sell one. Treat it as removing an easy target, not as a shield.

No. VPN Super runs a no-activity-logs policy. Your connection is encrypted between your device and the VPN server, so your internet provider can see that you're connected to a VPN, not which game you're playing.

iOS, Android, Windows, Mac (beta), Android TV, and Apple TV, on up to 10 devices at once. For Fortnite that means Windows for PC play and iOS or Android for mobile. iOS and Android have a free version; Windows, Mac, and the TV apps are Premium only.
