Linux users to enjoy better protection
Despite Linux being one of the most secure OSs around, its users are still at risk of invasive practices like government surveillance, censorship, and snooping.
“VPN can help Linux users protect their personal information from unwanted third-party tracking and interception by encrypting their online traffic and adding a layer of security between their Linux computer and the internet,” said Ruta Cizinauskaite, the PR Manager of Atlas VPN.
What’s more, Linux users can now benefit from all the features that Atlas VPN has to offer.
Atlas VPN supports the modern WireGuard protocol, which offers much faster connection speeds than OpenVPN while maintaining excellent privacy.
In terms of servers, the Atlas SafeSwap network allows it to have many rotating IP addresses without the need for users to keep switching servers. At the same time, users can have their connection route via multiple server locations for extra anonymity, and encryption layers, thanks to its MultiHop feature.
More security features are also on the way. These include a kill switch option able to prevent any data leaks even in case your VPN connection might drop.
