How to install & activate Bitdefender Premium VPN on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS
With Bitdefender VPN you can keep your data private each time you connect to unsecured wireless networks while in airports, malls, cafés, or hotels.This way, unfortunate situations such as theft of personal data, or attempts to make your device’s IP address accessible to hackers can be avoided. Restricted content can be accessed as well, no matter the country that practices internet censorship.
The VPN serves as a tunnel between your device and the network you connect to securing your connection, encrypting the data using bank-grade encryption, and hiding your IP address wherever you are. Your traffic is redirected through a separate server; thus making your device almost impossible to be identified through the myriad of the other devices that are using our services.

please help if any one know about solution1 -
When I use VPN, it takes absolutely for-EVER to connect to any site. If I wait, it will indeed connect.... When VPN is off, connecting to sites is almost immediate???

The easiest way is to open the purchase email and click the button ACTIVATE PREMIUM VPN (see the image below). You will be redirected to Bitdefender Central, where you will have to sign in to your account if you are not already signed in.
The server location for users wih the free version is automatically set by Bitdefender to the most appropriate server, while premium users have the possibility to change the server location they want to connect to by selecting it from the Virtual Location list

Error: 182 (Tunnel Connect) and also it disconnecting on its own. Would this have any chance of a hacker being able to disconnect it and not allow it to reconnect. I do have someone that has been signing into my computer when I am not on.0

Hi there,
I cannot connect my VPN at all, I click on the "turn on to secure your connection", the next message says "connecting" but it immediately returns to the "turn on to secure" message.
Can anybody help with my dilemma.
Thanks

Hello @Blackbird55,
I hereby confirm we do have a situation on our hands. The Support Teams have also received several inquiries regarding a connectivity loop. When trying to connect to VPN, it says connecting and nothing happens, it goes back to the "turn on to secure your connection" screen.
The developers and engineers are working on a fix.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Leider klappt nur die Routine beim Erwerb Bitdefender VPN und Bezahlung PayPal, die Installation dagegen nicht. Es scheint irgendwo eine Schleife zu existieren. Versuche es daher später noch einmal.

You already asked the same question here:
And you question has been answered by me and @Alexandru_BD.
Both @Dermot's and @Alexandru_BD's comment here have been deleted by me, since this is a thread only about the Bitdefender Premium VPN product and both comments have been moved here:
