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.

Global registry operator Afilias has announced that the fresh new, socially responsible top-level domain .ORGANIC is now open for registration by all bona fide organic producers and others who serve the organic community.

The term “organic” is the gold standard of nutrition and sustainability, with “certified organic” products and services becoming more and more popular. Consumers have learned to trust these products because clear standards are established and certification processes are reliable. Unlike terms such as “healthy” and “natural,” “organic” products and services must meet specific standards.

Until now, there has been no place on the Internet that protects the organic community and those it serves. The new .ORGANIC top level domain provides a new address that can only be used by companies and organizations that are certified or otherwise meet stringent eligibility requirements. Every applicant for a .ORGANIC name will be verified before being allowed to use a name. With more consumers doing research online every day, now is the time for organic community members to have addresses that shout, “I’m really organic!”

“Afilias is proud to introduce this valuable addition to the top level domain space,” said Roland LaPlante, Chief Marketing Officer at Afilias. “Authentic organic organizations can now rise above the dotcom confusion with an Internet address that sets them apart as organic and enables consumers to more easily find them. Every organic product and service should have one.”

To get your own .ORGANIC domain, register at any .ORGANIC authorized registrar.

Who is eligible for a .ORGANIC site?

Web addresses using .ORGANIC are only available to verifiably organic farmers, producers, manufacturers, co-packers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers and official organic certifiers. Eligibility also extends to other organic-oriented entities such as restaurants and trade organizations that may not be certified but can meet special .ORGANIC criteria tailored to their role in the community. The complete eligibility requirements are available on the .ORGANIC website.
