If you’re using NordVPN regularly, you might have noticed occasional pop-ups or connection notifications that can interrupt your workflow. Thankfully, turning them off is quick and easy. In my latest video, I walk through how to disable NordVPN notifications across both desktop and mobile in under a minute.

NordVPN keeps users informed about connection status, updates, and security alerts — but sometimes you just want a cleaner experience.

Here’s how to manage notifications on different devices:

On Desktop (macOS or Windows):

  1. Open the NordVPN app.

  2. Click the Settings (gear icon) in the top-right corner.

  3. Navigate to General Settings → Notifications.

  4. Toggle off “Show notifications” or selectively disable connection alerts.

On Mobile (iOS or Android):

  1. Open NordVPN and tap the Settings icon.

  2. Scroll to Notifications.

  3. Turn off “Connection alerts” or any specific types you don’t want to see.

Alternatively, you can disable NordVPN notifications entirely through your device’s system settings:

  • On Windows: Go to Settings → System → Notifications, find NordVPN, and switch notifications off.

  • On macOS: Open System Settings → Notifications → NordVPN, and toggle them off.

Once you’ve done this, NordVPN will still protect your connection silently in the background — no pop-ups or interruptions.

Personally, I prefer keeping security notifications enabled while disabling connection status messages. That way, I still get alerted about potential issues but avoid constant pop-ups when switching servers.

In 2025, NordVPN continues to be one of the most polished VPNs available, offering total control over both security and user experience. With notifications turned off, you can browse privately without distractions — fast, secure, and quiet.
