NordVPN now allows access to more than half of the world’s countries
March 29 2024 - 9:00AM
NordVPN, a leading cybersecurity company, has finished its
comprehensive network development phase and considerably increased
the geography of locations customers can access. With more than
6,200 servers and access to 111 countries, NordVPN now has the
broadest geographic coverage of locations among all VPN providers.
While NordVPN used only physical VPN servers in
the past, the current extension of supported locations was possible
by the introduction of a new set of virtual servers that follows
the highest cybersecurity and privacy standards.
“The main reason we considered using virtual
servers was to provide users access to locations where the
possibility of establishing high-quality physical servers is
scarce, usually because of a limited physical server
infrastructure. In this situation, virtual servers come as an
optimal solution, providing speeds and connection quality equal to
that of a physical server,” says Marijus Briedis, CTO at
NordVPN.
Virtual servers operate through dedicated
physical servers placed outside of the targeted country. The
physical servers are configured to resolve an IP address to match
the IP of a country different from the one where they are actually
located. This configuration eliminates the need for a physical
server to be grounded in a targeted country to access its network.
For example, in January 2024, NordVPN released its first virtual
server in India, with its dedicated physical server located in
Singapore.
The new places for virtual VPN servers were
handpicked from around the globe and were chosen in reaction to
NordVPN clients’ rising demands and needs.
In addition to this development, NordVPN
increased the number of simultaneous connections. Because the
number of devices customers use every day is growing, NordVPN now
allows users to secure up to 10 devices with one Nord Account and
boost privacy even more.
