Why Am I getting 'VPN Detection' alert while logging in to the Geojit App?

---

If you see a "VPN Detection" alert while logging in to the Geojit app, it means the app has detected that your device is connected through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or a similar network-routing service. As part of Geojit's security measures, certain network configurations may be flagged because they can mask a device's actual network location or interfere with security validations.

To help protect your account and financial information, access to the app may be restricted when a VPN connection is detected. If you are using a VPN, disable it and try logging in again.

The steps below explain how to disable VPN settings on your device and restore access to the Geojit app.

To disconnect a VPN on your mobile:

• Android
  • Open Settings.
  • Tap Network & Internet (or Connections, depending on the phone).

  • Tap the connected VPN.
  • Tap Disconnect.
• iPhone (iOS)
