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.

Today the i2Coalition is announcing that Neha Naik, Vice President of Channel Partnerships at Radix; Jesse Asklund, Chief Experience Officer of cPanel / WebPros; Ursula Baum, Associate General Counsel at Newfold Digital; and Suzanne Law Marisa, US General Counsel for OVHcloud, have joined the Board of Directors of the organization.

Alvaro Alvarez, EVP and General Counsel and Secretary for Identity Digital, steps up as the new Board Chair; while Nick Nelson, Chief Growth Officer of EdgeUno, will serve as Vice Chair. “I look most forward to empowering our executive team to tell us where and how we can support them best, whether it be welcoming new members or working alongside staff to enhance our mission,” says Alvarez.

“The i2Coalition has made significant impacts in the infrastructure, domain name and VPN communities over the past few years,” says Nelson. “I’m excited to start as Vice Chair in the coming days, and helping lead the coalition in future years. and make even more of a global impact.”

Protecting innovation and the continued growth of the Internet’s infrastructure requires a combination of deep legal and technological experience at the leadership level. The new Board sets up the i2Coalition for even greater success in its ongoing mission to keep the Internet open as an engine for growth and innovation. The incoming board will leverage the momentum built by the passionate work of i2Coalition members as Internet infrastructure companies face renewed legislative threats in the United States and abroad.

“As the largest nTLD [new top-level domain name] portfolio registry, Radix is acutely attuned to the challenges of the new Internet,” says Naik. “Therefore we focus heavily on universal acceptance, building and maintaining a clean namespace, and raising awareness of nTLDs. These goals align perfectly with i2Coalition’s mission to keep the Internet open as an engine for growth and innovation.”

“I’ve always been a huge advocate for anything centered around transparency,” says Asklund. “Being on the board and hopefully on some of the working committees in the future, will allow me to play a contributing factor (even the smallest one!) in keeping the internet and the usage of the internet a fair and transparent place.”

“OVHcloud has been a member of the i2Coalition for the last five years and the membership has proven invaluable to us.” says Marisa. “I thought it was time that I became more involved.”

“Broadly speaking, the biggest threat is cyberattacks and the related economic, political, and social fallout impacting the internet industry,” says Baum. Marisa also notes, “Patent troll lawsuits have become rampant in the US. Legislative reform is needed in this area.”
