To turn off a VPN (Virtual Private Network) on an Android device, you can follow these general steps:
1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
2. In the Settings menu, scroll down and select “Network & internet” or “Connections.”
3. Look for the option labeled “VPN” or “Virtual Private Network.” Tap on it to access the VPN settings.
4. You should see a list of active VPN connections if you have any enabled. Tap on the VPN connection that you want to turn off.
5. You’ll be taken to the settings for that particular VPN connection. Look for a switch or toggle button labeled “Connect” or “On.” Tap the switch or toggle button to turn off the VPN connection.
6. Depending on the device and Android version, you may see a confirmation prompt asking if you want to disconnect from the VPN. Tap “Disconnect” to confirm the action.
Once you’ve turned off the VPN, your Android device will no longer route its internet traffic through the VPN server. Your device will use its regular internet connection instead.
How to Turn Off a VPN App
Some VPNs offer an app that makes it easy to pick a server and connect or disconnect from the VPN. If this is what you have, open the app and tap the button to turn it off.
Every VPN app is a little different. ExpressVPN and TunnelBear, for example, have a power button toggle on the home screen, while Mullvad has a Disconnect button.
Please note that the options and labeling in the VPN settings may vary slightly depending on your device manufacturer, Android version, and VPN app you are using. If you have a specific VPN app installed on your Android device, you can also try opening the app and looking for a disconnect or turn off button within the app itself.
I hope this helps you turn off a VPN on your Android device.
