What is Invisible on LAN and how to use it?

Last updated: September 25, 2023

The Invisible on LAN feature in MetroVPN enhances your privacy and security by making your device invisible to others on the same local area network (LAN). When enabled, it hides your device, preventing other users from accessing your files, printers, or other shared resources. This is particularly useful in public or unsecured networks, where you want to prevent unauthorized access.

However, enabling Invisible on LAN means you won't be able to use certain network functions like file sharing or remote printing with other devices on the same LAN. This feature is ideal for securing your device in situations where privacy is more important than local network sharing.

Use Invisible on LAN to protect your data from being exposed to other users on public or shared networks, but disable it if you need to access shared devices like printers or servers.
