New LastPass Plus plan gives users private browsing capabilities and credential protection through one subscription and account
LastPass, the secure access solution that helps organizations and users work, move faster, and stay protected, announced the initial offering of a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) that provides consumers with enhanced online privacy, more secure public Wi-Fi use, and fast service connections. LastPass VPN is available through the new LastPass Plus offering, which also includes the company’s industry-leading password manager. With LastPass Plus, customers can extend trusted credential protection to their browsing activity, all without deploying a new account, application, or vendor.
The addition of a VPN is part of the company’s mission to simplify secure access on any device, browser, or operating system, delivering core security tools to help protect personal accounts without requiring IT expertise.
Many LastPass consumers already use a third-party VPN, which means they’re juggling multiple security applications, subscriptions, and logins to help keep both their credentials and browsing activity safe. LastPass VPN can remove those additional costs and complexity barriers by offering customers a unified privacy and security experience inside the same LastPass ecosystem they already trust.
“We live in an era where good security hygiene is critical, but staying protected shouldn’t come at the cost of convenience,” said Don MacLennan, Chief Product Officer at LastPass. “The most effective solutions are the ones that work seamlessly in the background without adding friction to everyday life. At LastPass, we continually look at how security is evolving and developing products that make it simple for users to better protect themselves against today’s threat landscape. The new LastPass VPN is the latest example of that commitment.”

The LastPass VPN encrypts your internet connection and helps keeps your browsing data more private, whether you’re at home, on public Wi-Fi, or traveling. Though it is delivered using the same subscription account, LastPass VPN works separately from your password vault, leaving zero-knowledge security untouched, and is:
- Supported in more than 85 countries and over 100 global virtual locations
- Usable on up to 10 devices
- Capable of providing unlimited VPN with no data caps
- Backed by a no-log policy for browsing activity that passes through servers
The addition of a VPN is part of the company’s mission to simplify secure access on any device, browser, or operating system, delivering core security tools to help protect personal accounts without requiring IT expertise.
LastPass VPN is now available through the new LastPass Plus plan with a limited initial release on Windows Desktop, with plans to expand to iOS, Android, and MacOS in the future.
