NordVPN launches NordLynx protocol to boost speed and security

tomsguide.com February 5, 2025, 03:01 PM UTC

NordLynx is a VPN protocol created by NordVPN to enhance connection speeds and security. It is based on the open-source WireGuard protocol but includes additional security features, such as a double NAT system, which protects user privacy by not storing identifiable data. Since its launch in 2020, NordLynx has been available across all NordVPN apps. It offers faster speeds compared to other protocols like OpenVPN, while also addressing WireGuard's vulnerability of exposing user IP addresses by providing random IPs for each connection. While NordLynx has some limitations, it remains a strong choice for users seeking a reliable and secure VPN protocol. Its combination of speed and enhanced security features makes it a popular option among VPN users.
