Link: NordVPN’s new feature gets around networks that block VPNs

NordVPN has introduced a new NordWhisper protocol designed to bypass networks that block traditional VPN traffic. This protocol should enhance user experience in restrictive settings such as airports and schools.

The NordWhisper operates by mimicking regular internet traffic, utilizing web tunnel technology to avoid detection by sophisticated network filters.

While it offers greater discretion, the protocol may operate slower than conventional VPN connections and is recommended for use only when necessary.

According to NordVPN CTO Marijus Briedis, the aim is to enable secure and free communication, especially in tightly controlled internet environments.

The rollout of NordWhisper is ongoing across Windows, Android, and Linux platforms, with plans to extend support over time.

Users will be able to activate this protocol directly from the connection settings within the NordVPN app, allowing for easier access and control. #
