Nordvpn has announced A new Nordwhisper protocol That makes it easier to avoid networks that generally block VPN connections. The protocol operates differently from traditional VPN traffic patterns that can sometimes be detected by network administrators, and must provide a “softer and more consistent navigation experience” in environments with restrictive Internet security filters, such as airports , coffee shops, offices and schools.
The protocol is based on Web tunnel technology that disguise hidden connection behaviors such as ordinary Internet traffic. The Tor project focused on privacy introduced A similar bridge technology for your tor browser In March 2024. Imitation makes it more difficult for advanced network filters to recognize VPN encryptions, but NORDVPN says that the nordhisper protocol “can work slower” than traditional VPN connections, so it should only be used when They are blocking.
The Nordwhisper protocol is “gradually” in Windows, Android and Linux, with support for more platforms “with time.” No ETA has been provided. When I arrive, NordvPN users will find the option to enable the new protocol within the NordvPN application connection configuration.
“It's not just about avoiding network restrictions,” says Marijus Briedis of Nordvpn Cto in a statement. “It's about empowering people to work, communicate and access essential services safely and free, even in the most restrictive environments.”
