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.

Following strong growth in Middle East and African markets, ARI Registry Services is pleased to announce the opening of a new office in Dubai to reaffirm the company’s position as the region’s premier provider of Internet infrastructure and consulting services.

As part of ARI Registry Services’ expansion, the company has appointed Mohammad Zeidan as General Manager of MENA operations, to lead efforts to pursue new business and manage existing projects in the Middle East.

One of Mr Zeidan’s first public engagements will be to present an exclusive overview of the insights learned during the first year of launch for ????. at next week’s Middle East DNS Forum in Amman, Jordan. Mr Zeidan’s presentation will offer important lessons for other operators in the region.

A strategic objective of the Dubai office is to enhance relationships with country code and generic Top-Level Domain operators and to extend the reach of the company’s consulting, domain name Registry and DNS services.

Adrian Kinderis, Chief Executive at ARI Registry Services, said today’s announcements reaffirmed the company’s commitment to the region.

“ARI Registry Services has been at the forefront of Middle East Registry and DNS operations for several years. Our influential contribution to the development of policies and the direction of the industry has helped achieve ground-breaking outcomes,” Mr Kinderis said.

“In 2008, we contributed to the creation of the technical protocols that enabled non-Latin scripts like ??????. (dot Emarat) to work on the Internet. Through this work, we were part of the very first non-Latin country domain name suffix to be added to the Internet for the United Arab Emirates.”

“It’s now more than seven years later and again we’re trailblazing the path forward in the region with the launch the world’s first new Top-Level Domain in ????., and providing strategic advice to our other regional clients, which will enable the launch of their new digital assets.”

Mr Kinderis said ARI Registry Services currently works with dozens of clients in the Middle East, including the Government of Qatar, Oman, the federal Government of the United Arab Emirates, the local Governments of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the League of Arab States and many other brands and entrepreneurs in the region.

In establishing the new office, Mr Kinderis said he sees enormous potential for growth and is confident this will lead to an increase in Top-Level Domain and enterprise DNS sales as Internet penetration increases.
