NymVPN Shields Against Quantum Threats
22 Apr
Summary
- NymVPN now offers split-tunneling for Windows users to select protected apps.
- A new Lewes Protocol enhances security against quantum computing threats.
- Split-tunneling allows flexible VPN and direct internet connection usage.
NymVPN has introduced a significant update for its Windows users with the beta release of split-tunneling functionality. This feature allows users to selectively route specific applications and websites through the VPN, while other internet traffic can use a direct connection. The company plans to roll out this capability to iOS and Linux versions in the future.
Alongside split-tunneling, NymVPN has implemented the Lewes Protocol, a novel key-exchange protocol. This protocol is designed to bolster security against the emerging threat of quantum computing, which could potentially compromise current encryption methods. The Lewes Protocol is available across all platforms, including Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, and MacOS.
The Lewes Protocol not only offers enhanced protection in the post-quantum era but also promises to reduce NymVPN connection times and startup durations. NymVPN, operating as a decentralized network, emphasizes its resistance to hacking and data coercion. The company encourages user feedback through its Telegram group.
