How to Cancel Atlas VPN in 2026 (Now Part of NordVPN)

Atlas VPN was acquired by Nord Security (parent of NordVPN) and has been transitioning users to NordVPN. If you're still being charged for Atlas VPN, here's how to cancel — and whether you should switch to NordVPN or a free alternative instead.

How to Cancel Atlas VPN

Via Website

Go to my.atlasvpn.com/subscription
Log in to your account
Click Cancel Subscription or Turn off auto-renewal
Confirm cancellation

Via App Store

iPhone: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Atlas VPN → Cancel
Android: Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Atlas VPN → Cancel

If you subscribed through your phone, you must cancel through the app store, not the Atlas VPN website.

The NordVPN Migration

Since Nord Security acquired Atlas VPN:

Atlas VPN may redirect you to NordVPN for subscription management
Some Atlas VPN accounts have been migrated to NordVPN
If your account was migrated, cancel through my.nordaccount.com instead
Check both Atlas VPN and NordVPN dashboards if you're unsure

Refund Policy

30-day money-back guarantee on all plans
Contact support@atlasvpn.com for refund requests within 30 days
After 30 days: no refund, access continues until billing period ends
App Store purchases: request through Apple/Google refund process instead

Do You Actually Need a VPN?

Before switching to another paid VPN, honestly assess whether you need one:

For privacy from your ISP: Yes, a VPN helps — your ISP can't see your browsing
For public Wi-Fi security: Yes, but most sites use HTTPS now, reducing the risk
For streaming geo-blocked content: VPNs work, but services increasingly block them
For "online security": A VPN doesn't protect against phishing, malware, or password breaches. An ad blocker + password manager does more for security than a VPN.
For anonymity: VPNs shift trust from your ISP to the VPN company. You're not anonymous — just trusting a different entity.

Free VPN Alternatives

Proton VPN (free tier) — unlimited data, no ads, Swiss privacy law. The best free VPN by far.
Cloudflare WARP (free) — not a traditional VPN but encrypts traffic and often faster than paid VPNs
iCloud Private Relay (with iCloud+) — Apple's built-in privacy feature, $0.99/month with 50GB iCloud
Brave browser's built-in VPN — integrated into the browser

Paid VPN Alternatives (If You Need One)

Mullvad ($5/month, no discounts) — privacy-focused, accepts cash payments, independently audited
Proton VPN Plus ($4.99/month) — Swiss-based, open source, strong privacy track record
NordVPN (~$3-4/month on 2-year plan) — fast, large server network, already owns Atlas VPN
Surfshark (~$2-3/month on 2-year plan) — unlimited devices, good value

🎯 Bottom Line

Cancel at my.atlasvpn.com/subscription or through your app store. Check if your account was migrated to NordVPN. 30-day refund window available. For most people, Proton VPN Free (unlimited data, no ads) is the best free alternative. Ask yourself if you genuinely need a VPN — many people pay for one without a real use case.
