Journalists Get Free VPNs in High-Risk Zones

NordVPN has partnered with the non-profit organization Internews to provide vital digital security tools for individuals in high-risk areas. This collaboration integrates NordVPN into Internews' global digital safety programs, supporting journalists, activists, and civil society groups who face surveillance, censorship, and cyberattacks in over 40 countries.

The initiative ensures access to encrypted connections that mask IP addresses, helping users avoid tracking and interception. These tools will be incorporated into Internews' training materials for digital security trainers working with journalists and NGOs, building on previous cooperation in nations like Sudan and Afghanistan.
