REVERSE VPN · JUST LIKE HOME
Connect to a VPN server in your home country to reach familiar websites and services while travelling. They see an IP from Russia, China, Germany or another available location you choose.
Which country’s IP do you need?
Access depends on server availability in your chosen country and each service’s rules.
Choose the service’s country, rather than your current location. A Russian IP needs a server in Russia; a German IP needs a server in Germany. For mainland Chinese services, check that specific location: Hong Kong may be treated separately. Check current availability when ordering.
Order a service in the location you need. Connect using the MeduzaVPN app or a compatible VPN client with a configuration from your account. Traffic routed through the VPN reaches the internet using that server’s public IP.
After connecting, check your public IP’s country and reopen the website or app. Services may also check your account region, subscription, GPS or IP type, so a VPN alone may not be enough. If you use split tunnelling, make sure the app you need uses the VPN.
Reverse VPN means connecting from abroad to a VPN server in your home country. For example, while in Cyprus you connect to a server in Russia: websites see that server’s Russian public IP for traffic routed through the VPN. This can help access services restricted by IP country. It does not need a separate protocol or special mode; choose the appropriate server country.
Choose an available VPN server in Russia and connect through MeduzaVPN. Websites accessed through the VPN will see the Russian server’s IP. This may help you reach Russian websites, online accounts and regional services from abroad. Check location availability before ordering; individual services may also verify your account or block data centre IPs.
A mainland Chinese IP requires an available server in mainland China. A server in Hong Kong or a neighbouring country is not equivalent to a mainland connection. Check the required location before ordering. Chinese apps may also require a specific account region, local phone number or subscription. A VPN changes the public IP of traffic routed through it, not these details.
Connect to an available VPN server in Germany so websites see a German IP for your VPN traffic. The same principle applies elsewhere: choose a server in the service’s country. Access to media libraries and regional platforms also depends on their rules, your subscription and whether they accept VPN connections.
It can help where access is determined by the country of your public IP, but it cannot guarantee access to every service. Websites may check account region, GPS, SIM card or payment details, or block server IPs. A VPN does not change these requirements or replace a subscription or sign-in. Check your particular services after connecting.
You get the public IP of your personal VPN server in the selected country. This is not your home router’s address or a residential ISP address. “Just like home” means connecting with an IP from your home country. A data centre IP may not work for services that only accept residential connections.
