VPN industry is abuzz with talk of a recent study, "a look through the Looking Glass VPN IPv6 and DNS Hijacking leaks in Business VPN clients. "Led by a group of Sapienza University researchers and Queen Mary University, this study explores shapely attack vectors against many of the most popular VPN providers, including Golden Frog VyprVPN.
although such a study may seem at first like a VPN using a deterrent, "perfect is the enemy of good." the use of a VPN is still safer than using nothing at all. in response to the study, here are 3 things Golden Frog wants you to know.
VyprDNS 1. Golden Frog offers strong protection of DNS hijacking.
A DNS administered by the VPN provider is really important. A DNS run internally on own provider network, as Golden Frog fact, is even better. VyprDNS is hosted and controlled by Golden Frog as part of our mission to reduce dependence on third parties such as DNS 3rd party services. VyprDNS ensures privacy and exceptional security for users and is included with every VyprVPN account. External networks more you remove the system, as the third party DNS, plus the attack vector becomes.
2. apps VyprVPN IPv6 protect against leaks.
vendors with self-developed applications can provide better control over security. Golden Frog applications take active efforts, if possible, to avoid leaks IPv6, which is difficult for vendors that only provide customers third party or simple configuration packages.
3. You are NOT anonymous when using a VPN.
Golden Frog was frustrated by the VPN companies that advertise an anonymous VPN service. That is why we published our "I'm Anonymous When I use a VPN - 7 debunked myths" article, and it's good to see researchers echo our concerns. Even when using a VPN, you need to trust your VPN provider with the data exposed by your use. Transparency creates trust. For over 6 years, we have been open and honest about the information we do and do not accrue to maintain a fast VPN, reliable and how we protect customer information.
Although the study reveals potential vulnerabilities in VyprVPN, it also notes that our attack profile is very small . We are currently studying the issues raised in the study, and we expect short-term solutions to be released as quickly as possible.
We argue with the researchers say digital is a better option than a VPN. Golden Frog's vision is to provide privacy and security for everyone, not just the technical elite. We focus on creating a modern easy to use service that anyone can use. Just sign in and sign. TOR is difficult to implement, has low speeds and does not make you anonymous. Even Tor admits he can not solve all anonymity problems. We do not want that Internet users sacrificing performance or ease of use to protect themselves on the Internet.
