NordVPN Ups Their Game with 2020 Updates

One of our top VPN providers, NordVPN, has consistently delivered a high level of security and privacy. Now, with their 2020 updates, they’ve really stepped up their game.

What’s New From NordVPN?

Since joining forces in 2016, NordVPN and FlashRouters have worked hard to expand the features available to them for online network protection. We’ve worked hard to create tools and features that give users flexibility and protection.

FlashRouters Privacy App with NordVPN

In 2018, FlashRouters launched the FlashRouters VPN Privacy App, an easy, free, and user-friendly way to access and configure your wireless network. Our app runs directly from any Internet browser on desktop or mobile devices.

This allows for easy tweaking and VPN configuration, including but not limited to:

Easy device management.
Kill switch and VPN bypass by device
Seamless VPN server switching.
Optimized UI on any browser or mobile phone.

With NordVPN on their FlashRouters, users can access their favorite NordVPN servers without ever worrying about hitting NordVPN’s device limit.

What Else Does NordVPN Offer?

In addition to integration with the FlashRouters Privacy App, NordVPN offers a number of features and policies perfect for any user.

$3.19PER MONTH

NordVPN’s award winning customer service and a 30-day money-back guarantee are just the tip of the iceberg for NordVPN.

Access 5000+ servers worldwide
No logs policy

Military grade encryption

Complete Privacy With Double VPN

Nord offers a unique feature with its service, which they refer to as a double Virtual Private Network. A double VPN is the process of chaining VPN servers. This hides your internet activity behind multiple VPN servers via tunneling.

Essentially, your computer connects to one VPN server, which connects to another. Your internet traffic would be encrypted two times in this case, protecting your privacy to its fullest extent.

DNS Leak Test

As explained in our earlier post, a DNS leak happens when your computer resolves a domain name such as “www.flashrouters.com” to a user’s actual IP address, as opposed to their VPN IP address. Meaning, when a user connects to a site, the mapping of the IP Address to a domain name happens via an ISP’s directory, rather than the VPN’s directory. This allows ISP’s or more nefarious actors to potentially spy on users.

Making sure all the traffic being sent from your computer is routed through a VPN server is the key to keeping your online activity secure.

With NordVPN, your device will only use DNS servers owned and operated by NordVPN.

NordVPN – Security Audit Proofed

Late in 2019, NordVPN underwent a security audit. Following extensive penetration testing by security researchers at VerSprite, a leading security research group, the audit found no “critical” vulnerabilities. While some vulnerabilities were rated as high, all of them required hackers to have significant prior access to a user’s device to work. NordVPN promptly fixed the vulnerabilities brought to their attention.

A Complete Privacy Solution

In addition to personal VPN, Nord’s parent company has launched a plethora of products to help users protect their online security.

NordLayer, a business-oriented VPN solution.

NordPass, a secure password management solution.

NordLocker, an encrypted cloud storage solution.
