![]() OpenVPN authenticates and encrypts using the OpenSSL library, a software library that ensures a secure connection to prevent your identity and data from being known. As the name suggests, OpenVPN is an open source protocol which means third parties can continuously improve on it because it doesn’t belong to one individual. In other words, OpenVPN is the virtual middleman that ensures you have a safe link when using a VPN’s server list. OpenVPN handles these communications to provide you with a secure connection. When you use a VPN service, you are constantly communicating between any of their nearby servers. Many people mix it up for a VPN service due to its name, but it is not. In addition, OpenVPN guarantees a secure connection because it supports strong encryption levels like AES, CAST-128, Blowfish, and more. ![]() It is not one of the VPN protocols with faster speeds because it has over 70,000 lines of code, but it is efficient to allow you to perform your tasks. While as software, it comes with an app that enables users to connect to any range of servers from other VPN service providers. A protocol is when other VPN providers implement OpenVPN in their apps. You can use OpenVPN as a protocol or as software. Since its establishment in 2001, it has provided users with a safe way to access the internet without compromise. OpenVPN is one of the most popular types of VPN protocols. In addition, there’s a no-log policy that is audited. Every time you use NordLynx, you will get a random WireGuard IP address that the NordVPN server doesn’t store. It means that there can be various IP addresses hidden beneath a public IP address that WireGuard has access to. ![]() The designers of NordLynx recognize that building their protocol from the WireGuard framework also means they inherit this problem which is why they adopted the double Network Address Translator (NAT) implementations. If there’s an attempt to hack any of their server lists, they store your IP address. It increases the risk of security issues because it compromises your privacy. WireGuard gives users the same IP address every time they connect, which means they have to store your IP address on a nearby server. The one area where WireGuard has flaws is with its IP addresses. WireGuard has 4,000 lines of code, making them faster than its counterparts with more lines of code and making security issues less likely to spring up. NordLynx functions like other VPN protocols, but since it was built around the WireGuard protocol, they have more similarities. ![]()
