NordVPN Introduces NordWhisper Protocol to Bypass VPN Blocks
The new protocol mimics regular internet traffic to evade detection in restrictive environments, with initial rollout on Windows, Android, and Linux.
- NordWhisper is designed to disguise VPN traffic as ordinary internet activity, making it harder for websites and ISPs to block connections.
- The protocol aims to help users in countries with strict internet controls, such as Russia, China, and India, where VPNs are often restricted.
- Unlike traditional obfuscation techniques, NordWhisper uses web tunnel technology to mimic standard traffic patterns, though it may introduce increased latency.
- The rollout begins with Windows, Android, and Linux platforms, with support for other operating systems planned for the future but without a specified timeline.
- NordVPN emphasizes the protocol's potential to ensure secure and unrestricted access to online services in environments with heavy internet censorship.
