Protect your privacy: Get NordVPN [ Deal: 73% off 2-year plans + 3 extra months ]

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.

newdomains 2013 – Intended for industry decision makers and participants, the conference will assemble experts of the internet community to discuss important changes to the top-level domain structure and their resulting implications. The conference includes expert presentations, panel discussions, question and answer sessions and provides an environment for open dialogue. (Click to Register / Discount code: “AfiliasDISCOUNT2013”)Afilias is proud to be a Diamond Sponsor of the 2013 newdomains event, running 28-29 October 2013 in Munich. The timing of the event couldn’t be better since ICANN has now taken a giant step forward in the new gTLD program with the delegation of several new TLDs—two in Russian, one in Chinese and one in Arabic.

“Delegation” refers to putting a top-level domain into the Internet “root.” It’s the last step prior to the official launch of a TLD when consumers can register and activate names. The delegation of these domains heralds major changes to the Internet and also opens multiple opportunities for businesses online. And topics like those are what will be discussed at NewDomains.org 2013.

Afilias team members will participate in several sessions, including:

Day 1: Monday, 28 October 2013

10:00 a.m.: “Marketing: How a major Chinese digital tech company plans to use their new dot Brand” with Afilias Senior Vice President and CMO Roland LaPlante and Li Yinxiu, CEO of aigo

4:45 p.m.: “Ask the Experts” panel with Afilias Executive Vice President & Chief Technology Officer Ram Mohan

Day 2: Tuesday, 29 October 2013

2:45 p.m.: “Market Impact of new gTLDs—How will the implementation of new gTLDs in 2014 affect existing TLDs” with Afilias Board Member Jonathan Robinson

3:30 p.m.: “A free DNS as Guarantee for Diversity of Access—DNS vs. Closed Systems/Apps” panel featuring Afilias Chairman of the Board Philipp Grabensee

4:45 p.m.: A recap of “Lessons Learned” by Afilias Executive Vice President & Chief Technology Officer Ram Mohan

An important point to keep in mind: businesses that did not apply for a gTLD in the initial round must understand both the imminent competitive impact of new gTLDs and how to best prepare to apply for their own gTLD in ICANN’s next round. And the diverse selection of panels, speeches and networking opportunities at NewDomains.org 2013 will certainly help with that.

By the way, as a sponsor of the event, Afilias is glad to share a 20% ticket discount code for NewDomains.org 2013. Just enter “AfiliasDISCOUNT2013” during registration.

We look forward to seeing you there!
