Connecting to VPN

Choose a SERP Lens VPN location, manage the connection, and reconnect after changing teams.

Open the location selector from the browser topbar. It shows the active connection, available locations, and any access requirement for the current team.

Connect to a location

  1. Open the location selector

    Click the location control in the browser topbar.

  2. Find a location

    Browse the list or search by location name. Premium locations are marked in the list.

  3. Connect

    Select an available location. Keep the selector open until its status shows that the VPN is connected.

The location selector keeps starred choices, the current state, and the full catalog together.

Select another available location to change the connection. You can also pause, resume, or disconnect from the active-location controls.

Starred locations

Use the star beside a location to keep frequently used choices together in the selector. Remove the star when you no longer need the shortcut.

Switching teams

VPN access belongs to the active team. Switching teams disconnects the current VPN session, even when the next team also has VPN access. Open the location selector and connect again after the switch.
