NordVPN just announced a new protocol called NordWhisper, which is designed specifically to make browsing more accessible by getting around network restrictions. It’ll allow users to overcome advanced network filters that limit traditional VPN connections.
The company explains, “NordWhisper uses web tunnel technology to operate differently from traditional VPN protocols like OpenVPN or WireGuard, which can be blocked due to their identifiable traffic patterns. By mimicking regular web traffic, NordWhisper avoids detection by network filters, ensuring reliable access on restricted networks while maintaining strong encryption and security standards.”
Due to the nature of how this new protocol operates, it isn’t expected to win any connection-speed races, but it should provide a “smoother and more consistent browsing experience” while trying to connect in certain environments. Airports, cafes, offices, and schools are notorious for utilizing these restrictive network filters which NordWhisper was created to evade.
As for now, Nord plans to gradually roll out the new protocol with initial support for Windows, Android, and Linux. More platforms are expected to be added in the future. No official release date has been given, but once it’s available users can enable NordWhisper under connection settings in the NordVPN app.
