BUILT FOR WINDOWS

Everything a power user expects.

⚡

🗂️
System Tray Icon
Connect, switch servers, and check your IP from the taskbar. No need to open the full app window.

Common questions.

Does HorizonVPN work on Windows 10?

Yes. We support Windows 10 version 1903 (May 2019 Update) and all later versions including Windows 11.

Do I need to restart after installing?

No restart required. The WireGuard driver installs silently and HorizonVPN is ready immediately after setup.

Can I use HorizonVPN on multiple PCs?

Yes. Your subscription covers unlimited devices. Sign in on as many Windows machines as you own.

Does the kill switch work if the app crashes?

Yes. The WFP kill switch operates at driver level and stays active even if HorizonVPN crashes or is force-closed.

Is there a Microsoft Store version?

Yes. The Store version auto-updates through Windows Update with no manual steps needed.

Will it slow down my internet?

WireGuard kernel integration keeps overhead minimal — typically less than 5% throughput reduction.
