VPN Malware Blocker – Block Malicious Domains
- Blocks malicious and suspicious domains automatically.
- Built into the VPN – no extra install needed.
- Works on every VPN node you connect to.
What Is Mysterium VPN's Malware Blocker?
Mysterium VPN's malware blocker is a built-in DNS filter. It checks every domain request against a list of known malicious and suspicious sites, and blocks the bad ones before they load.
Because it works at the DNS level, it stops threats before a connection is even made. It's one part of the full set of Mysterium VPN features, and it's available on the Pro plan.
Key Benefits
Blocks at the DNS Level
Malicious domains are blocked before your device connects – not after. The threat never reaches your browser.
No Extra Install
It's built into the Mysterium VPN app. No separate security software to run alongside your VPN.
Works on Every Connection
Active on every VPN node you connect to, so your DNS requests are filtered wherever you are.
How It Works
DNS request made
You type a URL or click a link, and your device makes a DNS request to resolve the domain.
Domain checked
Mysterium VPN's secure DNS server checks that domain against a list of known malicious and suspicious sites.
Blocked or allowed
Malicious domains are blocked before loading. Safe domains load normally. Nothing is needed from you.
VPN Malware Blocker vs Antivirus
| Antivirus (Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, etc.) | Mysterium VPN Malware Blocker |
| Scans files and processes | Removes existing malware | Detects threats on disk | Requires separate installation | Blocks malicious domains at the DNS level | Prevents connections before they load | No file scanning | Built into your VPN – no extra app |
| For full protection, use both. A VPN vs antivirus cover different threat vectors. Our malware blocker also sits alongside the rest of our privacy stack, including DNS leak protection and a no-logs policy. |
