10 facts about NordVPN that aren't commonly known
  • Meshnet Feature for Personal Encrypted Networks: NordVPN offers a unique feature called Meshnet, which allows users to connect their devices directly and securely over the internet. This means you can create your own private, encrypted network for activities like gaming, file sharing, or remote access to your home devices from anywhere in the world.
  • RAM-Only Servers for Enhanced Security: Unlike many VPN providers, NordVPN uses RAM-only (diskless) servers. Since these servers run entirely on volatile memory, all data is wiped with every reboot. This ensures that no user data is stored long-term, significantly reducing the risk of data breaches and enhancing overall security.
  • Servers in a Former Military Bunker: Some of NordVPN's servers are housed in a former military bunker located deep underground. This unique location provides an extra layer of physical security against natural disasters and unauthorized access, ensuring that the servers are protected in all circumstances.
  • NordLynx Protocol with Double NAT Technology: NordVPN developed its own VPN protocol called NordLynx, built around the ultra-fast WireGuard protocol. What sets NordLynx apart is its implementation of a double Network Address Translation (NAT) system, which enhances user privacy without sacrificing speed. This innovative approach solves the potential privacy issues inherent in the standard WireGuard protocol.
  • Dark Web Monitor Feature: NordVPN includes a feature known as Dark Web Monitor. This tool actively scans dark web sites and forums for credentials associated with your email address. If it detects that your information has been compromised or appears in any data breaches, it promptly alerts you so you can take necessary actions to protect your accounts.

BlueCat Networks, the IPAM Intelligence™ company, today announced that it will participate in World IPv6 Day on June 8, 2011. BlueCat Networks joins a growing number of industry leaders including Akamai, Cisco, Google, Facebook and Yahoo that will participate in the worldwide IPv6 field trial organized by The Internet Society (www.isoc.org).

On June 8, 2011, BlueCat Networks will enable global IPv6 connectivity to its corporate website at www.bluecatnetworks.com for the purposes of the trial. Anyone with IPv6 Internet capabilities will be able to automatically access BlueCat Networks’ site with their IPv6-enabled devices. IPv4 traffic will continue to connect without any change. BlueCat Networks recently selected a new IPv6-compliant Internet Service Provider and is working to ensure all of its employees are able to access IPv6 Web sites by June 8.

As a leading provider of IP Address Management (IPAM), DNS and DHCP solutions, BlueCat Networks has been a vocal advocate for IPv6 preparedness and the need for smart solutions to help organizations smoothly and seamlessly transition to IPv6. BlueCat Networks’ IPAM solution supports a disciplined approach to IPv6 planning and readiness and simplifies the ongoing management of IPv6 and dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 environments.

“The more you talk to organizations, the more you realize that most do not yet have a plan in place for transitioning to IPv6,” said Richard Hyatt, CTO of BlueCat Networks. “We are excited to participate in World IPv6 Day, which should help galvanize organizations to start planning now for the inevitable transition. There are many reasons to adopt IPv6 sooner rather than later. If organizations wait, they may incur extra cost and risk due to an aging infrastructure, not be able to take advantage of new IPv6 applications and have limited connectivity on the new Internet.”

Always looking to provide the best possible working and studying environment for its faculty, staff and students, Texas A&M University, a BlueCat Networks client, is currently ensuring that its backbone infrastructure is IPv6 ready.

“Before we implemented BlueCat Networks’ IPAM solution, we tracked IPv4 addresses with a six foot spreadsheet on the wall—which certainly wouldn’t work with the much-longer IPv6 addresses,” said Wayne Pecena, Director of Engineering, TTVN Enterprise Networks for the Texas A&M System. “BlueCat Networks’ technology automatically tracks IP addresses to make it simple for administrators to centrally manage IP addresses for our extensive wide-area network. The migration to IPv6 is further simplified by BlueCat Networks’ DNS/DHCP solution which provides dual-stack capabilities to enable our campus and institutions to run both the older IPv4 infrastructure and the new IPv6 infrastructure simultaneously—making it easy to roll out IPv6 without any interruption to faculty, staff and students.”

BlueCat Networks will host a webinar on March 2nd, 2011 to discuss the practical steps that need to be taken to ensure IPv6 readiness. Richard Hyatt, CTO of BlueCat Networks and an international thought leader on IPv6, will speak about the current state of IPv6 deployment and the benefits of starting to plan now. To register for the webinar, visit www.bluecatnetworks.com/ipv6webinar.

BlueCat Networks’ IPAM solution is instrumental in helping organizations effectively prepare for and deploy IPv6. The IPAM solution enables organizations to discover their existing IPv4 and IPv6 space, model the new IPv6 network, track pure IPv6 and dual-stacked IPv4/IPv6 systems and simplify the management of IPv6 addresses. BlueCat Networks’ DNS and DHCP solution also supports the IPv6 naming and addressing infrastructure.
