- 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.
ICANN will not act as judge and jury in copyright disputes. TorrentFreak reports: “In a letter to the president of the Intellectual Property Constituency, ICANN chief Stephen Crocker says that ICANN is neither ‘required or qualified’ to pass judgment in such cases. ... The latest efforts come from the Intellectual Property Constituency (IPC) and the Coalition for Online Accountability (COA), which count the major studios and record labels among their members. Both have concerns over the ‘Public Interest Commitments’ (PICs) present in new gTLD registry agreements.”
— “Collaborate now, reduce litigation later,” Trevor Little reporting in World Trademark Review / 5 Jul 2016: “IP community is not trying to position ICANN as policers of content [says Gregory S Shatan], but rather ensure that obligations are being met once contracts are in place: The June 30 letter perpetuates the notion that ICANN is being asked ‘to make factual and legal determinations as to whether a registered name holder or a website operator is violating applicable laws’. This may play well with those who think ICANN is being asked to be the ‘content police’, but it’s just not the case. ICANN does not need to engage in legal analysis of any particular user’s online activity; what ICANN needs to do is to make sure that registries and registrars are complying with their contractual obligations relating to abusive and illegal behaviour.”
