How to Turn On VPN on Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G

With numerous site locks, VPN becomes a real savior. VPN stands for "Virtual Private Network." It changes the user's IP address to the IP address of another country, thereby opening access to sites and applications blocked in your country. You can enable VPN on Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G in several ways.

Using Device Settings

Almost every smartphone running the Android operating system, including Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G, has a built-in VPN function. However, if you decide to use a VPN built into the system, you will have to configure it manually, repeating the following steps:

1. Open your phone settings.
2. Go to Connection & Sharing.

3. Go to VPN.
4. Select “Add VPN”.
5. Enter the VPN profile name, select the connection type, specify the server address, username, and password.
6. Select the profile you created and turn VPN on.

The main difficulty in this method is the manual search for the address of the VPN server. To do this, you need to visit special sites with lists of VPN servers. Not all servers allow you to work at an acceptable Internet speed. In addition, servers stop working from time to time, and you have to search for a working server again.

Using third-party software

If the previous method seems too difficult for you, then you can set up a VPN on Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G using third-party applications available through the Play Store. As an example, we will use the Secure VPN application:

1. Install the Secure VPN application.
2. Open the application.
3. Press the “Connect” button.
4. Allow the connection request
5. Wait for connection to the server

If you decide to turn off VPN, you will need to open the Secure VPN application again and click the "Connected" button. Free apps often show ads while turning the VPN on and off.

Best VPN Apps

Secure VPN is not the only program that allows you to use VPN on Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. You can also use other apps that users liked:

• Cloud VPN. A relatively new service that can provide you with a stable connection without ads. This VPN service is paid, but a rather long free trial is available;
• Turbo VPN. Free service with a paid subscription option to turn off ads. It has a simple interface and has no restrictions on the amount of traffic;
• OpenVPN Client. A popular application for manually configuring VPN on a device. There are several free servers that you can use.

The list of VPN services for Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is not limited to these three applications. If none of the presented programs suits you, use the search in the Play Store, where variety of alternative VPN applications are available.
