The phrase refers to obtaining a specific version of the NordVPN application (version 6.45.10.3) in a format that allows installation without an active internet connection. An “offline installer,” in essence, is a complete package containing all the necessary files to install and run the software on a device, independent of immediate internet access during the installation process. This contrasts with online installers that download components as needed during installation.
Acquiring software via offline installers offers several advantages, particularly for users with limited or unreliable internet access. It ensures a consistent and complete installation experience, eliminating the risk of interruptions or failed downloads during the setup process. Historically, offline installers were the primary method of software distribution before widespread broadband availability. They remain relevant for scenarios where bandwidth is constrained, or for deployment on systems without network connectivity.
