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.

Want to learn about the state of DNSSEC usage in North America? Or what is new in DNS monitoring? Or where DNSSEC fits into the plans of operating systems? Or how DANE is being used to bring a higher level of security to email?

All those questions and much more will be discussed at the DNSSEC Workshop at ICANN 51 happening on Wednesday, October 15, 2014, from 8:30 am to 2:45 pm Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, which is UTC-7). If you are in L.A., you can find us in the Pacific Palisades room. If you are remote, you can watch and listen live at:

All the presentations are also available online. The primary panels will be:

DNSSEC Activities in North America
Impact of Root Key Rollover
DNSSEC Deployment in Operating Systems
DNS/DNSSEC Monitoring
DANE and Email Services

I will also be starting off the day with some of the latest DNSSEC deployment maps and other deployment statistics. The program committee has worked hard to assemble a great set of speakers and I think you should find the session extremely useful and interesting. It will be recorded for later viewing.

Of particular interest, too, may be the panel about the potential impacts of a Root KSK Rollover. This will be a preview of a longer public discussion that will take place on Thursday, October 17, 2014 from 9:00 am to 12 noon PDT. I published some background information for those interested to learn more.

This DNSSEC Workshop on Wednesday is just one part of an extremely packed week of DNSSEC/DANE activity at ICANN 51 In L.A..

I do hope you can join us live to listen in and ask your questions. It should be a great event!

P.S. If you are interested in getting started with DNSSEC, I’d encourage you to visit the Deploy360 site where we have information tailored for various roles and organization types.
